[As revealing as anything in Fowler's autobiography is the claim that his financial advisor, George Scott, encouraged Peter Ridsdale to walk away when the bidding reached double figures. It was, he said, a crazy price, but on November 29 the deal was done.] If they had been a bit tougher in the transfer market, they could have got me for half that, ... It was crazy and maybe typical of what was going on. |
A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again. |
After taking temporary charge last season he took us from looking down at the fringes of another relegation scrap, to within a kick of getting into Europe. |
