Our turnover of playing staff since our last promotion must be the highest.

Scary nuns

Midfield
Have we had the highest turnover of playing staff in the premier league since we last got promoted? Either aggregate or even season on season.
No stats like, but it feels like it, mebbes someone out there does have some real stats. Be mighty pleased to be pointed to the stats.
 


Keane spent over 60m net in the premier and just about every one was f***ing gash and no resale value

Kenwyne Jones= made profit
Etuhu= made a profit
Mcshane= waste
Anderson= waste
Chopra= waste
Stokes= waste
Higginbotham= broke even
Gordon= injury, not keanes fault
Bardsley= 7 years worth of service
Richardson= 6 years worth of service, £2.5 million sale
Evans= great loan deal
Cisse= good loan deal
Tainio= waste
Malbranque= outstanding signing
Diouf= waste
Chimbonda= waste

How is Keanes record any worse than let's say, Steve Bruce's?

Conveniantly missed out 14m of waste on Ferdinand and George McCartney there mind!
Top of head for Bruce.
Mignolet = profit
Bent = Profit
Gyan = Even
Gardener = Waste
Oshea = 4 years good service.
Brown = When fit very good
Whickham = This season will tell
Larsson = free and numerous games
Vaughan = free but poor
Sess = money back
Turner = waste
McLean = profit
Elmo = money back
Ji = waste
Cana = money back

Bruce's record in market a lot better than keanes mind.

Bit harsh on Turner there mate......thought he was steady while here and we got a few quid back from Norwich.

Wasn't a massive fan of his to be fair mate. Think we paid bout 8m if I recall and got bout 2m back? That sort of deal was par for the course under Keane mind.

It's not - probably better than most!
 
Keane kept us up despite his inexperience in management shining through.

Despite those mistakes, Keane began the longest ever premier league run in the clubs history and the longest post war top flight run we've ever had.

50 years worth of managers couldn't do that. Despite sometimes flirting near relegation, we have not looked back since or experienced the same humiliating relegations we were having.

We're a premier league club, a team of shite buys and an inexperienced manager achieved that. Well done.
 
So are most of our other managers!!
Keanes is by far the worst. Find it incredible that people excuse it by saying it had to be done in order to stay up! Utter nonsense. He had unprecedented amounts of money to spend and relegation shouldn't even have been an issue given his budget.
We stayed up on the last day of the season he walked out (18th when he left) then Bruce has to sort out the
mess he left and for the first couple of seasons seemed on the right track. His record in market was pretty good but 2011 was his annus horribilis and that finished him off .
Keane did a good job in getting us up
although not even nearly the miracle people would have you believe. A miracle was Reid taking us up in 95/96 after flirting with the third tier for the early part of that decade. Keane took over a club with a lovely stadium and state of art training facilities that had for the majority of that decade been in the top flight. Yes the situation wasn't ideal but we'd have been around 10 points off top of league when he took over and was given a good budget to take us up.
