    - I'm sure there are some who are not but most Financial Directors (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:28:28
      - Is your experience of the FDs of large corporate groups? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 12, 09:00:08
        
        Yes it is, large and medium sized. Maybe balancing the books the wrong term (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 09:21:16
        
        Yes I agree with that (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 12, 09:40:58
      - And that's a good thing (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:28:42
- The other day you said that you'd heard that McN was the reason that some agents refused (NCFC) - Adster, May 12, 08:15:56
  - Yes. That may not be a bad thing this summer but I assume it (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:19:09
    - If what you've heard IS true then his departure can only help recruitment AND retention (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, May 12, 08:28:47
      - Maybe. I think last time though we just told half the players they (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:29:49
- That?s what I was thinking last night as well after the game. (NCFC) - KentonCanary, May 12, 08:14:29
- Agreed. Imperative we get a CEO asap. I get the impression our recruitment has amounted to (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, May 12, 08:01:23
- Time may well tell you what a great job McNally did... (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 07:54:08
  - Did a great job for us in the lower leagues (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 12, 07:59:19
    - Perhaps fair but... (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 08:03:52
      - Would certainly have taken that when he arrived (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 12, 08:10:31
  - I appreciate his early efforts. Lost the plot about three years ago. Perhaps (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 07:57:54
    - lost the plot by turning us into a yoyo club??? (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 12, 08:19:05
      - Turned us into a club players didn't want to join (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 12, 08:21:38
        
        Yep, a yoyo club. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 12, 08:22:46
        
        When we should be settled in the Prem (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 12, 08:24:36
        
        Could, not should. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 12, 08:27:26
    - Don't think he's a genius... (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 08:02:45
      - I don't regard a season in the prem as some kind of legendary achievement (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:09:27
        
        You might do if we spend the next 10 in champ... (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 08:15:31
        
        I think the "brink of admin" stuff is a bit dramatic and to be honest (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:22:19
        
        Think your being a bit of a cunt about him ... (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 08:31:00
        
        Yes, i can accept the validity of the McNally outers pov, but they need to accept (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 12, 08:39:48
        
        I do entirely and I have never been a McNally "outer" I (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:45:43
        
        Even McNally was a McNally outer (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 12, 08:44:18
        
        No (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 12, 08:49:49
- Will be a big pot of money earmarked for player bonuses... (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 07:52:57
  - Regardless of that I'd expect a big profit. Circa ?10m net spend with all that (NCFC) - Jim, May 12, 08:17:28
  - From memory I read somewhere that the bonus pool a few years ago (NCFC) - KentonCanary, May 12, 08:11:13
    - Think it was about 7 million last time (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, May 12, 08:26:56
    - Not a huge overall amount then (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 12, 08:15:31
