Very naive of Hurst to sign him.

We signed a player who couldn't score in a brothel.


Dunno if it was naive.  Hurst had got a tune out of him at Shrewsbury and he was hardly flooded with options during that transfer window.  You only have to look at the number of players from two levels below or who hadn't had a club for months/years to realise he didn't really have a pot to urine in.  I think the mistake was that Payne was clearly his marquee signing, one he had reserved a wedge of his meagre budget for and it didn't work.  Bad signing? Yes.  Naive? Not for me.

Do we really know what options he had, he is well known for signing his mates wherever he has been

No, you're right we don't know what was available to him.  It's speculating.

But I'm quietly confident that with a remotely decent budget his signings wouldn't have included two lads who hadn't kicked a ball in the professional game in the previous 12 and 32 months respectively (Lamy and Habergham).

A neighbour of mine who works at Lincoln said exactly the same of our previous non chairman!
