Who signed Goater?
If you read goaters book, he says it was spencer prior for convincing him to come to southend, cos they played at man city together, and prior called goater numerous times to get him here
Who signed Goater?
I totally agree Chris. With 10 mins to go, Tilson was the man. A win at Brighton. MMMM you'd better believe it. 10 minutes later he's a ****.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
PS Warnock indeed. :)

We got promoted from league two because Freddie was a golden nuget playing in a league full of very average players. We got promoted from league one for one reason and one reason only Shaun Goater read his book and what he has to say about Tilson and i quote " Tilson trained us hard so hard the lads were to fatiqued to come in for extra training to work on things that needed improving " Also goes on to say how he talked Freddie through matches helping with positioning etc that is what was missing last year with Freddie and is crying out for still an old head to quide the younger players up front and also some one to marshall the defence as Prior did they must be out there find them or go back to league two
Actually, I just donated it to Cricko for the raffle, so I can't go through it and check it!
Regardless of who made the approach, Tilson picked him and played him along with the countless other players that he signed when he built a side that won back-to-back promotions.
One man does not make a team. If it did Wolverhampton Wanderers would have won the title several times in the late-80s.
To say that Eastwood did it all on his own is simply not true and not fair on the other players.
...and there was me thinking we got promoted because we had more points than anyone else.
Someone said it's a funny old game, 5 minutes from victory and all is rosy, a sudden collapse and it's all poison & vilification.
Your missing the point
The arguement is that the manager should have pre empted the collapse! Or at least reacted after their first goal.

In that case we should appoint Mystic Meg with immediate effect.
What?
Why the neccessity for clarevoyance? I'm talking about reacting to an ariel threat of a giant substitute striker, post hocto proc.....not guesswork on what might be a threat!
So... exactly what he did at Leeds and got slated for then?
If we had defenders and a goalkeeper in the side who could deal with decent balls into the box we wouldn't have to start making drastic changes every time the opposition brings on someone over 6ft tall.
