McRae offered less to this club than Kear but was fortunate he had a good relationship with the board so they let him go out and sign quality players without asking questions. The problem was he couldn't coach the players he had into a successful side. If Kear or Sharp had been given the same freedom as McRae we'd have been very successful.
At least he signed quality players, have you seen some of the dross we've brought in since? Such as Kear's Tommy 'the next Keith Senior' Saxton.
