coo-ee a serious question, um, dunno, i'm a bit more worried about our finances

now that we haven't managed to file our accounts on time (remembering Hull didn't manage to file theirs as their auditors didn't believe they could honestly state that Hull were a 'going-concern' for the following 12 months (or similar))

when we get up, (f**ked up luck in the play-offs aside) i don't think we'll struggle next season - finishing lower-mid Champs, followed by a steady improvement of upper-mid. this is me being unusually optimistic mind, and is based on us running along similar lines off the pitch as we are doing currently.

the board may often get the wrong managers in, but they do seem to do their best to back them with what money they can once they're here

        Hating a player for being injured is ridiculous (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 17:07:34

        True (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:57:38
        
        which season was it that Thorne was top scorer for us? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 17:00:01
