Stott putting money into the club was happening with Gannon there too. I've said before, you can't really blame Gannon for the signings that didn't work out but then accredit him being axed to the high profile signings coming in.
Personally I think it's a pretty safe bet we would have done better last season with him being at the club. Whether you look at it from a statistical point of view or based on his previous track record but like Wilson said - the decision to get rid wasn't results based which only supports that opinion in my view.
