Anyone see that bit about Cotterill in the telegraph yesterday?

They do a feature on teenage stars. Yesterdays was on coterill. He basically said he had signed for Norwich and passed a medical before the offer from Wigan came in. He then says he spoke to Nigel Worthington about the Wigan offer "who was very good about it and said he wouldn't stand in my way."

Excuse me!!! This kid who we really wanted to sign and who has effectively signed for us phones up and says he wants to join Wigan and Worthy says that? What kind of message does that send out to the player that we really want him. What does it also say about Worthington's preception of our clubs standing against a tin pot club like Wigan!

        I wasn't talking about long term. (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 19, 14:55:44
        
        yeah and they've also been in the bottom division in the last ten years!! (NCFC) - coney, Sep 19, 14:58:39
        
        This whole thread is an argument for the sake of it (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:04:49
        
        eh? (NCFC) - coney, Sep 19, 15:10:26
        
        no, you said we were a bigger club (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:13:27

        I never said that, you've said we are bigger AND better (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:22:02
        
        Are they more ambitious though? (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 19, 15:34:16
        
        If we were ambitious, we would have got rid of our manager by now (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:36:54

        No it's not (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 19, 15:05:15
        
        jims original point is valid (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:06:22
