New ex-players (and managers) thread

At the time Bassett was miles worse than Redknapp as a choice. Bassett really was at the very end of his career and let’s face it in his prime was hardly the most progressive of managers.
I'm not talking about as a manager. I really cannot warm to that spiv, and I say that as no fan of the 'crazy gang' legacy. Bleak times.
 
It's all so fresh in my memory.

Most people really, really wanted Redknapp.

When we got Taylor the consensus was that we'd ended up with the 2nd best option & most people were pretty happy.

Looking back from here it's clear that we were doomed to chaos & misery whatever had happened.

Shows how little we know I suppose.

Anyway...I hope they get ****ing relegated.
Just thinking about this - did people want Redknapp when we got Taylor? I had thought David Moyes was the recommendation of MON and front runner?

Plus MON left in 2000 and Redknapp was still at West Ham until 2001.
