All this talk about Rebbe being the one to blame, I can't help but think its a load of old tosh.

Dean and Waggers had and no doubt still have a relationship that stretches way beyond Chairman and manager/coach. If Waggers had a problem with Rebbe then surely to god he would have been straight on the blower to Dean to tell him.
As for signings, its been well documented before that DW had the final say on any players. Yes Rebbe and others before him scout the network and then they come back with recommendations which DW looks at and signs off on.
