      - No, being a mid table prem team, taking a few scalps from the big boys each season and (NCFC) - Adster, May 7, 13:14:58
        
        yes but we're a million miles away from that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, May 7, 13:23:18
        
        that's all I ask for, I don't expect a top 10 finish and winning every Cup and Europe. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, May 7, 13:19:24
        
        Well yes, but it would seem that takes far more money than we will ever have. (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, May 7, 13:17:29
        
        I disagree, a bit more steel in the boardroom and I think we could have been on our way (NCFC) - Adster, May 7, 13:22:13
        
        well yes, but almost certainly back in the same struggle next season (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 13:35:38
        
        That's why I am angry and frustrated we had a great foundation in place (NCFC) - lovely old job, May 7, 13:32:20

        yep, but got more for their money, (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, May 7, 14:09:34
        
        indeed, but every transfer is a bit of a gamble (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 14:24:45
