And that's not a reflection on his ability?

We were favourites to go up to the premiership, and he signed dross.

What's for sure is that last summer was our best chance to attract decent players to the club. If that was the best he could do then, God knows what we should expect next summer, whether we go down to league 1 or not.

I think your opinion, that that was the best he could get, makes our case for us, frankly.

      - Happy with MLJ, Hughes, Marney (loan) and Jarrett, are you? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:31:10
        
        No of course we all want better than that (NCFC) - Clare, Nov 18, 15:45:01
        
        No, he got what was as good as he could get, at the time. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:35:29
        
        And that's not a reflection on his ability? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:38:55
        
        Of course it is partly a reflection on his ability (NCFC) - Clare, Nov 18, 15:48:11
        
        I'd rather we kept the money... (NCFC) - Jono, Nov 18, 15:51:42
        
        You can in WOTB world. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:50:23
        
        I recognise that you two enjoy feeling like the counsels of wisdom (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:52:21
        
        cracking first line and so true! (n/m) (NCFC) - jonah3000, Nov 18, 16:08:39
        
        Not necessarily. But I don't believe that the fault would be all Worthington's. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:53:45
        
        Phew, that's all right then. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:55:25
        
        And if it doesn't, will you do the same ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:57:08
        
        Its not about right or wrong its just opinion (NCFC) - Clare, Nov 18, 16:06:14
        
        'If we stay up the anti Worthingtons will say it was inspite of him and we were lucky...' (NCFC) - Jono, Nov 18, 16:12:30
        
        Disagree - it's not as simplistic as to blame just one person. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 16:15:21
        
        Of course not. Altho Worthy seemed happy to take quite a bit of credit... (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 16:16:45
        
        Definitely... (NCFC) - Delveg, Nov 18, 16:22:48
        
        Do you think so ? I never got that impression. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 16:20:56
        
        Yes, but all those mistakes I listed somewhere else... (NCFC) - Jono, Nov 18, 16:20:09
        
        If we go down, there can be no Worthington supporters any more. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 16:09:15
        
        Worthington can't - no. But I can blame the players. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 16:12:17
        
        Yep, that's pretty much it. Not sure 'courage' is the right word though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 16:08:06
        
        Gladly. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 16:00:34
        
        I agree. He has, on reflection, bought poorly. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:45:43
        
        So both the players we bought, and the ones here already, (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:50:06
        
        And rightly so (NCFC) - Clare, Nov 18, 15:53:50
        
        I'm an individual - I do fuck all all day at the minute and am un-motivated. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:52:07
        
        Yes, but he *sees* your performance... (NCFC) - Jono, Nov 18, 15:55:50
        
        What's the difference ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:58:49
        
        Ok, there's no difference, but... (NCFC) - Jono, Nov 18, 16:03:57
        
        100% ? Of course not. So why is he carrying 100% blame ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 16:05:16
        
        Yes, simply because it's a build up of things... (NCFC) - Jono, Nov 18, 16:09:45
        
        Is it you and everyone else on your team too? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:53:31
        
        No he didn't. In the main it is just me. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:55:37
        
        Hold on - right above you listed (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:58:09
        
        Ashton is the only one in both lists... (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 16:02:15
        
        They were not the best he could have got at the time, what planet do you live on? (NCFC) - Gary Doherty, Nov 18, 15:38:25
        
        And that's ignoring the fact that there's a whole world of players outside the UK, too ... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 18, 15:42:24
        
        yeah. but they're not good honest pros like Hughes and Jarrett. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 18, 15:47:12
        
        No there aren't. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Nov 18, 15:45:05
    - Yes, but compare the players Palace have lost with the ones they've brought it. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 18, 15:27:50
      - Ward & McAnuff - already in London, Morrison went home. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:29:32
        
        Too true ... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 18, 15:30:06
      - brought *in* - sorry ... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 18, 15:28:09
  - Notice that (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Nov 18, 15:22:38
  - I nearly cried when I read that. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 18, 15:21:33
- Pork Bellies (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Nov 18, 15:17:41
- Ashton's contract extension cost a small fortune, so I am led to believe. (NCFC) - Arganth, Nov 18, 15:16:52
