he got us ?5m quid

given what financial state we were in even after getting that god knows what state we'd have been in otherwise. Might have been nothing left for Delia & hubby to save. So basically you are agreeing that Sutton was loads better than Hucks but Hucks is more of a legend because we were in a crap division? Not saying that is wrong per se, just trying to get it clear.

  - 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
