Dawson was linked with Birmingham, I'd choose them over Blackpool. Lawrence was better than both of them though and he's ended up at Shrewsbury
I think most folk thought they were both pretty poor. I've not noticed anybody say either would walk into a championship clubs. Everyone seems to think Dawson will end up with Hill at Rochdale. Mellis is pretty lucky to get a championship club to be honest, he's there based on his form prior to last season. If we were judging him on last season then he'd struggle to get in league one! Kids got talent though & his head seemed to go down when Flitcroft tried to turn him into a left winger
There are plenty of more talented players out there than Dawson who are out of as job because of there wage demands. They all need to read "Tales from The Secret Footballer".
Word is all the players they have signed are on pay as you play salaries with a view to perm salaries when club is sorted out
