No it's not, it's competing with the rate of the division. It doesn't mean you get quality

players for nothing, it just means you're paying the same as wolves

That isn't backing the manager, because when he signs dross as you put implied, he's only doing so by competing with the market. If you offer a club nothing for a player and they no, you're not being backed

If you offer the price being asked but then tell the player he's getting paid less cos it's eaten into the transfer budget, then you're not competing with Wolves on the same level

We are not wolves, Bowkett was foolish to make that comparison. And over all, we don't back our managers cos we sack on average, on a yearly basis

In short, he dressed up a point the very way we've hated Doncaster for doing so for years

Feel free to agree with him cos he's new, but it's just the same s**t with a different man at the helm. That doesn't mean he's the same as doncaster, but on first impression, he's acting the same

If you don't see that, and still stick with this, us and wolves get the same, then you're clearly deluded

        It's ok, I think Tricky actually got what he really wanted in the end (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 21:15:00
        
        oh right, fair enough. Misjudged you. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 27, 20:14:02
        
        I wouldn't mind, but you're in this game all the time (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:18:53

        This is probably an unwise thing to do, but if I could just butt in here... (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 27, 20:25:58
        
        Just telling it how it is for me all the time though. The a league thread below (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:34:40
        
        "Well played Trollton" (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 27, 20:41:05
        
        But after seeing the facts I posted, you can acknowledge the comparison was horse shit (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:47:36
        
        the comparison isn't the important bit - the backing of the manager is (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 27, 20:55:25
        
        If it wasn't, then why did you use it? (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:58:59
        
        so ?8.5 million and one of the higher wage bills in the division isn't backing the manager (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 27, 21:03:15
        
        Not when he's wanting money for players, because if those players on loan (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 21:10:08
        
        they gave the man a budget, a good budget compared to other bottom-half championship teams (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 27, 22:17:26
        
        First you've used the example, then you've said it doesn't matter, and now you're back (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 22:35:51
        
        ?8.5m was the important bit (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 28, 08:16:32
        
        idiot (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 28, 09:08:11
        
        i'll take that as a no then. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 28, 09:52:17
        
        I'd imagine you probably would (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 28, 11:34:29
        
        Anyway, I'm back to not posting my opinoin now, you're just proving how much of a (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:49:13
        
        The second paragraph is a bit rushed (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:20:52
      - "if we actually had a board who could back a manager properly" (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 27, 19:01:34
        
        sam vokes ?250k, Dave Edwards ?675k, we're almost exactly the same as wolves (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 19:04:23
        
        We don't know how much the loans cost. But are you saying (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 27, 19:05:16
        
        He's compared us to something we're nothing like (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 19:06:11
        
        Surprised you think that. Loans all cost fee's now, that came out a while back that (NCFC) - megson, Oct 27, 20:03:39
        
        Don't. That's too depressing. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 27, 20:06:21
        
        I didn't even touch on their loans though (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 20:06:03
        
        regardless of how much Wolves actually spent ?8.5 million is backing the manager (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 27, 20:27:42
        
        No it's not, it's competing with the rate of the division. It doesn't mean you get quality (NCFC) - pants, Oct 27, 23:04:37
        
        fair enough. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 27, 19:08:20
