The facts are that our two best seasons were those when we got extremely lucky with a star player - Paul Ifill 09/10 and Nathan Burns 14/15. In neither case was that the result of offering big bucks to a sure thing. It was due to taking a chance on someone who had an inconsistent record and believing in them.

Strongly disagree. Both players were IMO 'dream' players of the two coach's who signed them, and those coach's could have  conceptualized such players with their qualities prior to signing for us. Merrick apparently wanted Burns at Victory. Both player and coach were benefited from associating with each other, taking a lot more than luck, and good timing.
