The reason we 'shop in Poundland'

is that that is all our income (even with the crowds we get) enables us to afford. Can you point to a team without parachute payments in our division that shops in a better shop that is doing it purely on the back of its own income (i.e. not being bankrolled)? If so, who?

    - I thought the Grant appointment was madness (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 24, 16:18:55

        Makes sense, i still disagree though. First time managers are ALWAYS a gamble. (NCFC) - megson, Mar 24, 17:00:04
