But if it was Roeder walking away.......

I dunno.
If he didn't agree with the valuation, its hard for the board to make the manager pay MORE money for someone.
It has to be the managers call.

Iverson is a strange one, was his club playing silly buggers too?
All in all though, both were a mess, and I do think things could have been better, if only someone saying to Roeder to make a choice, pay it or move on. OR the moneys not there, move on.

        agree with that (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 14:20:23
      - But the point about relegation is that it may well mean the board/Delia won't be ABLE (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 21, 14:13:22
        
        I feel slightly guilty saying this (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 21, 14:15:46
        
        ego te absolvo (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 21, 14:27:27
        
        I felt like this the season we sacked Worthington, that it might not (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 14:22:59
        
        we should have sacked worthington when we left the prem (NCFC) - camcan, Apr 21, 14:52:54
        
        Without hindsight I completely and utterly disagree (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 21, 15:06:09
        
        except (NCFC) - camcan, Apr 21, 15:30:21
        
        with hindsight i agree, at the time though i'd have said it was the right thing to at (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 21, 15:02:58
        
        Hindsight shows CC is right, I was in Ralf's camp at the time though (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:09:07
        
        that should have been almost a third of the next season (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:12:38
        
        Burnley was the 10th league game (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 21, 15:15:58
        
        Well there you go then. Had they sacked him after 9, the planets would have re-alligned (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:28:14
        
        I thought Worthington was in last chance saloon when he took us down (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 15:01:57
        
        Actually, that's about right. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 14:25:41
        
        I just remember like below, games like Burnley at home (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 14:36:19
        
        And you know what? I'd probably take that squad now. As bad as it was (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 14:44:46
        
        For me, we found out just what it was about (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 14:55:16
        
        it was Roeder's valuation of Taylor (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 21, 15:06:07
        
        any evidence for these "promises"? (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 21, 15:00:18
        
        I do think that promise was a joke, and all parties intended for it to be seen as such, (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 14:58:45
        
        See in the middle of all the spin (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 15:06:45
        
        But if it was Roeder walking away....... (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:11:57

        or we could've broken the bank for someone like Billy Sharp (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 21, 15:23:51
        
        Yeah, but all transfers are like that, there is a degree of punt in them all (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:37:41
        
        the thing with all of these though (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 21, 15:13:57
        
        All true, can't deny it. Suppose that's part of what makes the game interesting (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:14:59
        
        yeah I'm happy to discuss (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 21, 15:20:43
        
        I agree on the cullum thing too, and i could be wrong, but like you (NCFC) - megson, Apr 21, 15:30:40
        
        Equally when fans feel they've got their way, the same conclusions become ridiculous (NCFC) - pants, Apr 21, 15:51:17
