that's true, he obviously hasn't been perfect, far from it,

but the club is in a much, much better position than when he took over. He has raised the average attendance by 10,000 - that's an incredible amount. Our reputation and status has increased - do you think Spirs would have loaned us two of their really PROMISING youngsters (i.e. not Fenn and Allen!!!) 5 years ago?

We're the best club in our region and considered to be one of the biuggest clubs in the CCC, rather than a club on its way down, heading to LEague 1.

  - No place for Postle then? (NCFC) - Tomblander, Sep 21, 14:26:06
  - would you say the likes of Drury and Green are close to becoming legends then? (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:24:50
    - that's a bit harsh on Greeno (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:28:06
      - I'm sure Hucks could move to a bigger club (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:30:02
        
        of course Sunderland might (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:34:04
    - No neither is a patch on Bowen or Woods / Keelan / Gunn yet (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:28:02
      - nor is Hucks though (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:30:27
        
        Hucks isn't up to the Iwan level yet. Probably at the Bellamy stage right now... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:32:21
        
        as a footballer (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:52:42
        
        But his one great season was truly great (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:32:19
        
        Sutton had a great season IN THE PREM (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:37:38
        
        yep, but when sutton had his great season, (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:41:19
        
        he got us ?5m quid (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:45:51
        
        Not at all (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:51:42
        
        that last paragraph is very true (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 15:01:02
        
        You what ? (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:45:01
        
        Obviously the other players were good, (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:48:15
        
        Don't agree. As I say in the new thread, we (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:49:35
        
        not denying that at all (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:35:55
        
        Sutton ? Erm. First season as a striker he bagged almost 30 league goals (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:33:55
- huckerby? (NCFC) - greendude, Sep 21, 14:12:30
  - obviously the definition is open to interpretation, (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:14:52
    - Would worthington? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:16:35
      - Worthy's in a similar bracket as Mike Walker (imo) (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:20:34
      - yes - i feel he helped turned this club around whatever people say (n/m) (NCFC) - greendude, Sep 21, 14:17:41
        
        only because the Board provided him with buckets of dosh (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 21, 14:42:52
        
        no way. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 21, 14:24:19
        
        agree to an extent (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:27:03
        
        worthy balanced a team to stay up and then was given 2.1 million to spend (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:32:34
        
        that's true, he obviously hasn't been perfect, far from it, (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:44:19
        
        yes I do, as Curbs gave us Parker (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:46:16
        
        what relevance does that have to our attendances? (NCFC) - Shane Warne, Sep 21, 14:57:48
        
        Worthy was given some money, though (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 21, 14:30:17
        
        And a new stand and corner infill which is full every week. (n/m) (NCFC) - Butterworth, Sep 21, 14:42:48
        
        even considering that Huckerby has saved his job more than once? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:21:46
        
        Yeah well then credit him for a fucking great signing! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:23:53
        
        Not sure about that one... (NCFC) - Jono, Sep 21, 14:26:11
        
        Shit he can't win with you lot can he ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:29:32
        
        It's always the way... (NCFC) - Delveg, Sep 21, 14:33:03
        
        Hucks WAS an obvious one... (NCFC) - Jono, Sep 21, 14:37:06
        
        But he got them here... (NCFC) - Delveg, Sep 21, 14:41:50
        
        If Ashton was so fucking obvious why did no-one else take the risk ? If you (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:41:47
        
        did he make any good signings this summer? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 21, 14:34:27
        
        Did Huckerby score many goals last season ? Did Jeremy Goss (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:38:57
        
        maybe we expect far too much of Ashton, he's only got 5 goals this season (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:42:13
        
        I reckon Hughes is alright... (NCFC) - Delveg, Sep 21, 14:36:47
        
        I was just saying one goes with the other (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:30:55
        
        plus huckerby has said he wants to stay and see his career out here (NCFC) - pants, Sep 21, 14:29:30
        
        Yeah even if he was sacked now (or walked) he should go down as (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:19:29
