Yeah I guess. But you do hear a lot of "joined because of X"

(Of course, with Hughton, we may now be regretting those people that wanted to join because of him...)

Is it just another line in the standard pack of new signing's phrases? Maybe. But they could just not say it, rather than say it and not mean it.

        Don't want Malky or Adams to get the top job yet (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:24:46
        
        and in defense of Cornelious, was he ever even fully fit for them? (NCFC) - phrankin, May 4, 19:19:26
        
        Caulker has been great for them. Odemwingie is starring for Stoke (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 4, 19:11:16
  - I wouldn't necessarily be averse to Adams, but you've hit the nail on the head for me ther (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:02:35
    - I'm never so sure how much a manager influences signings (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:03:36
      - Yeah I guess. But you do hear a lot of "joined because of X" (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:06:21
        
        I suppose so (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:08:11

  - With respect BIGFELLER (NCFC) - shoddy, May 4, 19:03:02
    - Hehe - I like to see things from different perspectives :) But you have a point for sure (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:04:08
      - we all want the best. (n/m) (NCFC) - shoddy, May 4, 19:07:55
    - BigFlipFlopper (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 4, 19:04:00
  - experience means sweet fuck all as far as I can tell when it comes to management (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 18:59:19
    - vmt (n/m) (NCFC) - AllezLesJaunes, May 4, 19:08:58
    - yep, so fucking tired of the lame experiece argument (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:00:56
      - So the top clubs shouldn't appoint an experienced manager then. They should give it to any (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:03:12
        
        We are not a top club, we are not going to have choices (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:08:03
        
        also, Steve Clarke was for a season touted as a top young manager (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:10:53
        
        Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:28:41
        
        Now this I like - with one caveat. Rosler oversees marvellous football (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:10:20
        
        is it? (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:11:48
        
        Two seasons if they lose in the play-offs having already lost an FA Cup semi (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:12:50
        
        that is incredibly harsh (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:14:27
        
        Rosler also got good experience and proved himself in the lower leagues (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:11:32
        
        Yep, so would I, I think (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:13:30
        
        The point is, they are out there, the Board's job is to find (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:16:54
        
        Not many managers about have never failed anywhere (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:18:51
        
        Di Matteo (n/m) (NCFC) - stantheman, May 4, 19:07:17
        
        No other club in the top two divisions would dream of appointing? (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:05:44
        
        You think another club in the top 2 divisions would appoint Neil Adams as manager? Really? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:09:28
        
        no club would appoint Neil Adams, obviously (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:13:12
        
        In what way is he different to Garry Monk? (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:12:25
        
        I would say there is a bit of a difference between appointing (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:18:13
        
        Haha, why do we have no stylistic identity (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:20:48
        
        i see you're trying to score cheap points, instead of engaging in a proper discussion (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:29:38
        
        He is a hughton in dick - as per lambo he has gone thank fuck deal with it (NCFC) - Men without hats, May 4, 20:49:11
        
        Yes, you are *always* right (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:33:12
        
        ok - just a difference of opinion (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:35:49

        They only appointed him because they were skint. And they failed. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:11:25
        
        David Moyes? (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:04:32

        Very true. But this is a different sport nowadays. It'll never happen like that again for (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:07:35
        
        Vialli? Ruud Gullit? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:08:48
        
        Sherwood? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:08:58
        
        With examples like Sherwood or Giggs (the latter isn't getting the job anyway), you're (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:14:36

        Anyway, it's all irrelevant really (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:22:27

        Sherwood got given the gig, that's my point (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:16:10
        
        Ryan Giggs? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:09:22
  - Experience didn't work too well for Hughton (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 18:58:07
    - He got Newcastle promoted (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:00:25
      - And us relegated, your point? (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:01:37
  - Meanwhile, Swansea are giving Garry Monk the job full time (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 18:57:37
    - And they're stupid to do so. Down they will go - albeit, their system there is so long (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:00:20
      - They might do, yes (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:03:11

      - Divisive (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:09:15
        
        I think Malky would be a far more popular appointment than Neil (NCFC) - Huge Small, May 4, 19:25:35
    - Other than needing a win and not gambling in the last few minutes (n/m) (NCFC) - Ben, May 4, 18:57:51
      - VVMT he's not some tactical genius (NCFC) - Mickdundee, May 4, 19:01:26

  - But what makes you think he's the right man for the job (NCFC) - Mickdundee, May 4, 19:04:15
  - People who proclaim that this or that manager would be a disaster (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 18:56:54
