to all them points. . . . .

1, Biggest budget ever. . . I'm sure the new deals for Holt, Ruddy, and Surman chipped into that budget nicely, Not including all the other new contracts over the summer, signing on fees, agent fees etc. . . . That doesn't mean that there'll be more money available for players. The rumours were very bold and clear as said by Holts agent amongst everyone that Lambert was promised something that was not going to be delivered. . . clearly the budget in my opinion.

2, I have no memory of Lambert ever saying the words "it wasn't budget related" would LOVE to see a quote of that. . . .

3, I wasn't talking about bassong. . . We seem to be about to spend a fair old bit of money post Fulham when all the interviews suggested Hughton was about ready to go with what he had (and for the record the club was never going to let Bassong go out on the radio and say this move happened quickly over the last couple of days, and give the fans a sense of panic at board room level)

- Let's just wait to see how much they spend this week before mocking him for moving (n/m) (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Aug 25, 23:09:03
  - Wasn't it Lambert who said he always wanted to get his (NCFC) - Chopper, Aug 25, 23:18:43
    - still think its an odd choice for him (NCFC) - ede, Aug 25, 23:28:51
      - Think he was told there was no money to spend here . . . (NCFC) - Alan, Aug 25, 23:32:28
        
        Was told the budget would be one thing, then it was decreased (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Aug 25, 23:43:32
        
        Sorry, but how could you possibly know that at all. Unless you have direct access to Lambe (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 25, 23:45:54
        
        Yes you're right (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Aug 25, 23:52:51
        
        Don't agree with any of that, personally (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 25, 23:37:40
        
        to all them points. . . . . (NCFC) - Alan, Aug 26, 00:19:59
        
        And Hughton, post-Fulham, again said he's happy with what he's got, but will strengthen (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 26, 00:48:30
        
        And they specifically left Number 5 free for what reason exactly? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 26, 00:46:22
        
        No, was just saying they wouldn't, would they??? (n/m) (NCFC) - Alan, Aug 26, 01:10:04
        
        Pure conjecture on 1 and 3. If you don't believe me that he said 2, it's not my problem... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 26, 00:31:01
        
        ... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 26, 00:34:38
        
        Clearly talking about the previous seasons. . . . . (NCFC) - Alan, Aug 26, 01:04:21
        
        And as for stadium upgrades saving - I think that's wrong as well (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 25, 23:39:34
        
        So you don't think . . . (NCFC) - Alan, Aug 26, 00:12:13
        
        No, I don't. It'll be financed in all probability. We won't pay in cash, FFS... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 26, 00:29:14
        
        Sorry forgot you're on the board and know it all. (NCFC) - Alan, Aug 26, 01:09:23
  - Randy's hardly splashed the cash recently. (n/m) (NCFC) - bird table, Aug 25, 23:10:51
    - Agreed, which is why at the moment he was very silly to move (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Aug 25, 23:13:44
