In all fairness, we mastered the Derby model of 'chuck money at expensive failures then get relegated' some time ago. [Post edited 9 Dec 2020 11:32]

The most expensive failure of them all is still somehow managing us. | |

Think of it as shorthand for 'does the pressers and occupies the office with 'first team manager' on the door'. | |

Trouble is if I ever talk to other fans about clubs spending too much/trying to buy success I always get it thrown back at me along the lines of 'bit kettle black of Ipswich fans moaning about overspending etc isn't it?'. Followed by 'Ipswich were one of the teams who started it overspending to get into the Prem and then it caught up with you and you went into administration' |  | | |

Does Rory Fallon count as an expensive failure given that he was a month long loanee?
If we’re looking to add to a list of expensive failures, I’d still say that the jury’s still out on most of Paul Hurst’s signings. |  | | |

All the players on that list were relatively cheap compared to what other clubs have spent, hence we are where we are. But life goes on. |  |
