Would we be any worse off...

[Borin' Baggie]

I wouldn't be giving Dowling any credit for players he has got in so far. His contribution has been carp.
Darren got Gayle - Barnes (our best 2 loans) before dowling arrived.
All the youngsters Leko - Harper - Edwards - Tulloch - Field are nothing to do with him.
He may have had some influence with the Jan loans, as for an actual purchase he ain't got a single player in.
Considering the task ahead - he should give his salary back IMO.

He's only been here for a few months and his only transfer window with us was January where we had a budget of 5p given to him by Jenkins. What exactly has he done wrong? The bigger mess from player recruitment came from the Dolmio man who isn't here anymore.

Ah I forgot about the Jenkins spending limits, I was expecting Dowling to at least bring one player with potential in. Do you think that was too much to expect? Dolmio man was a figment of Lai's imagination, all he did was get rid of Foster and a few others.

I think the restrictions of the January window coupled with our monetary restrictions makes bringing anyone on a permanent extremely difficult.
