Well the WST gave Keates a budget that would have likely saw the club go bust. So the WST can't be blamed for that, they gave Keates everything they had already.
And the takeover dragged on and on by the FCA and then R&R decided to donate a decent chunk of money anyway so they're not a fault either.
Whether other targets went elsewhere or not we still needed to bring in a striker, when Yussef left we needed 2, then he let Bickerstaff go as well. We at least needed bodies even if they're not the standard of Cook or Rowe (I don't think we could have got these anyway) and Keates failed to bring anyone at all in. The blame lies with Keates
