Coates has got "real" money, as opposed to Bartlett, who I expect never imagined he would end up in the Prem so soon. Coates makes money available whenever Pulis needs it, and it doesn't go on the books as a debt owed to him. We needed an owner like that a few years ago, but we have one now.
They signed about 100 players that first summer, people like Tom Soares and Michael Tonge for hefty fees and they've hardly been seen since. Something like £6m on Kitson too, and he was a major flop.
