James Posted Saturday at 22:03 Share Posted Saturday at 22:03 It is certainly a misconception that Robson inherited a decent team, only three players survived from Keegan’s reign: Barton, Lee and Shearer and all three were physically diminished.

He was very, VERY well backed in the transfer market - we spent ten times more on Titus Bramble than Arsenal did on Kolo Toure that same summer. He spent c.£150m on transfers - that wasn’t buttons at the turn of the century. He wasn’t backed in the summer of ‘03, which was daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
