Absolute f**king car crash

That summer was the reasons he got sacked, and we got in the s**t (plus pants is right that Earnshaw was a "save my job" purchase rather than a "save the squad" purchase)

- You've implied that Roeder relegated us, and you know that's not true (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 15:37:45
  - which manager do you think bears most responsibility for relegating us pants? (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Oct 19, 15:40:50
    - Worthington, Grant, Roeder and Gunn (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 15:44:41
      - in that order? so worthington is most to blame? (NCFC) - jampersands, Oct 19, 15:54:03
        
        No order, collectively they all contributed to where we ended up (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 16:00:23
        
        on that basis you could blame every single manager we've ever had! (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 19, 16:30:45

  - that may be the case (NCFC) - 1 5CC, Oct 19, 15:40:23
    - Who did we sell to sign Barnett? Who did we sell to sign Rob Edwards on loan (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 15:50:06
      - or the board doesn't have a bottomless pit of money (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 19, 15:57:02
        
        Yes, Roeder thought he could get prem quality on the cheap by loaning (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Oct 19, 16:24:11
        
        Has it not occured though, that the moment they employ somebody else (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 17:01:02
        
        We didn't spend much (NCFC) - Old Git, Oct 19, 17:05:30
        
        we spent a fair bit for a club just coming up (NCFC) - 1 5CC, Oct 19, 17:10:56

        You'll have to name those people really. Cos I didn't say that (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 17:42:24
        
        "persuading the board not to invoke the relegation salary reduction clause" - what ARE you (NCFC) - Old Git, Oct 19, 16:53:31
        
        Pretty certain it all came out with the accounts (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Oct 19, 17:05:44
        
        Nope (NCFC) - Old Git, Oct 19, 17:22:39
        
        So the relegation clause *was* invoked (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Oct 19, 17:48:08
        
        It's our misfortune that since Prem promotion until Lambert was brought in (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Oct 19, 16:28:58

        it's fuck all to do with Lambert and all to do with you claiming Roeder was never backed b (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 19, 16:13:12
        
        I didn't say he was never given money by the board (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 16:29:43
        
        Oh, I think he was backed as much as the others (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Oct 19, 16:34:12
        
        I think this is where this will always be an infinite stalemate then (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 16:54:11
        
        No, the others didn't have a lot; but Roeder did relatively speaking (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Oct 19, 17:11:38
        
        Well for me, I've seen us have massive squads over the last couple of years (NCFC) - pants, Oct 19, 17:17:10

        he also claims the board didn't back lambert in the summer (NCFC) - 1 5CC, Oct 19, 16:16:09
