Rowett joined in October and didn’t spend a penny on transfers until the following summer. The vast majority of the first 11 in that first season were players Clark had failed with
I agree the time was right for a change then, Clark was burnt out by all the crap that had gone on (outhwith his control) in yhe previous couple of years. But as I said, Clarl deserves credit for the squad of players he left Gary Rowett using what was essentially a League One budget to put it together. Even Rowett acknowledged that
Remember when we had the worst home record in the top 2 divisions of any country in Europe?
But our away record was remarkably good for a squad of that calibre.
That squad finished 21st overall that season and to be quite frank it did well to even finish there when you look at the standard of players in the squad that finished that season.
