Not sure you can have Hamill, G, Black, Penny,Voss, Gram and some of the others on the short term fix list. i was talking about King, MG, Clarke, Birss, Gardiner and some others as players that are short term fixes or very doubtful to make it types ala McGough, Capuano, Callaghan and Knoble
Let me translate some sRrspeak for you
"Short-term fix" = any recruitment decision under GT which didn't work out well. Does not apply to poor/questionable recruitment decisions made after GT was sacked (eg, Howard, Birss, M Clarke, M Gardiner, C Gardiner, etc, etc.), which come under the category of "improved list management strategy".
"Topping up" = see "Short-term fix"
"Poor list management" = see "Short-term fix"
"Wasted draft pick" = see "Short-term fix"
"Living in the present rather than building for the future" = see "Short-term fix"
"Poor use of the rookie list" = see "Short-term fix"
And etc.
As to my reply to Plugger...he said by a long way........I think my reply indicated that by a long way was not actually the case as both eras have included a truckload of players from other clubs supposedly ready to play......short term fix players included as well as some with long term potential....though all having in common that the reason for their selection was to get a instant fix to a problem..
