Quote: Adeybull "So I heard. I think as one of the first "cost-saving" measures - and I know the numbers they had to save to keep the club out of the hands of the insolvency professionals had more noughts on the end than most at the time (certainly including me) ever realised.
I guess the big question is - and with the benefit of hindsight - what cost reduction measures did much more harm than any financial benefit could outweigh? And what ELSE could have been cut instead to do less harm? We'll never get to know, though, unfortunately. It just alarmed the hell out of me to be going up to Odsal for formal meetings every month or so, and keep finding fewer and fewer people who I was working with still there - at all levels, from Chairman down.
Interesting to see that there seems to be a big issue over Leeds way regarding cutting back on academy spend. I'm increasingly wondering if they are starting to tread a similar path, generally, to the one we have been plunging down?'"
Davies also had a lot to do with the Harris signing from his time at Reebok.
