        A great platform for a up and coming manager to turn the club around (NCFC) - nixon, May 13, 15:02:15

        Calderwood did well at nearby Northampton for a good while. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, May 13, 14:48:17

        That's the one. That kept us up. When we were bottom. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, May 13, 14:56:15
        
        But ultimately layed the foundations of our eventual relegation. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, May 13, 15:03:21

  - how can you say Gunn isn't the answer (NCFC) - Charles21, May 13, 14:34:21
    - I don't know, Crook & Butterworh never had any real say in player acquisition (NCFC) - lovely old job, May 13, 14:38:56

    - Oh God! The refs are going to be even worse. (NCFC) - Small, May 13, 14:38:39
      - Gunn was still moaning about ref decisions this morning. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, May 13, 14:41:17
    - Gunn lost Wes and Croft to injury, Bertrand and Drury to injury before charlton. (NCFC) - megson, May 13, 14:36:43

    - which happens (NCFC) - camcan, May 13, 14:28:03
