Coach
Have we ever signed a striker from a league club where all their fans have caused an uproar because he's the best thing since sliced bread?. I cant recall anyone in recent years, so obviously any potential target will be slated by a percentage of the selling clubs fans as unfit, bad attitude, useless in the air etc.
On the converse, both Leon Constantine and Martin Carruthers came to the club with their respective previous clubs fans saying that they were useless and both did pretty well for us.
Sometimes, a player simply doesnt fit into a managers system of playing. think how many players we have let go who have gone on to score for fun elsewhere (Kightly etc). We have also signed proven goalscorers only for them to seem hopeles in a blues shirt (Lee Nogan).
Rory Fallon scored heeps of goals for Swindon a couple of seasons back. if he can rekindle that kind of form, he will be a snip at £250k. Lets face it, if Fallon were a proven goalscorer in the Championship, we would have to fork out rather more than that!!!
If the deal does get done, lets get right behind him and hope he is the answer, at least until he has proved otherwise.
