Even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time !!!!

Just because RA or JR/KH can make the odd "marquee signing" whether we need him or not, doesn't mean that they're not totally incompetent when it comes to recognising a squad that seriously lacks quality.

Just like the blind squirrel, a coach who is out of his depth could still attract the odd "star" as long as the money is right and there are no better offers.
