        Isn't that rather sad really? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 15:52:36
        
        Yes it is sad but its the real world of football and the fact is that (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 16:01:23
        
        What would 'trying to get promoted' have looked like? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 15:30:42
        
        By not acting proactively and removing the manager swiftly they have basically (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 15:34:43
        
        According to you (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 15:39:08
        
        I agree. Just my opinion. I accept others see it differently. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 15:41:43
        
        Totally agree with you Jim. Your thoughts mirror mine. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Jan 11, 15:36:57
        
        Can't force lafferty and turner to leave either... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 15:31:23
    - Cheer up Jim. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 11, 14:39:57
  - Incidentally i don't think this is a choice, more a necessity! (n/m) (NCFC) - Waz, Jan 11, 14:38:59
    - Indeed - we CAN'T realistically sign anyone on big contracts (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 15:13:23
- And so the downsizing of the club begins, fuelled by failure on the pitch and (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 14:37:57
  - Bang on. Five liiion (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Jan 11, 15:38:37
    - 5 million is nothing especially as he just signed a contract extension I think. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Jan 11, 15:39:17
      - Only until next summer, hardly enough to boost bargaining power much (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 15:44:08
      - On the proviso it had a release clause I suspect!! (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 15:40:28
  - Correct (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 11, 15:20:42
  - The next line from the Club will be, ''we are goign for young hungry players who need to (NCFC) - lovely old job, Jan 11, 14:56:16
  - 5m for Olsson is pretty good tbf.. (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 14:41:35
    - Not really. First choice Swedish left back, one of our few genuine premier league (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 14:44:25
      - His last 3 seasons in the Prem have seen him relegated (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 15:20:46
      - probably my favourite player in the current squad. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Jan 11, 14:56:53
      - ^^^ he's mostly right y'know (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 11, 14:49:03
      - Agree, think he is a very good left back and one of our squad (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 11, 14:48:53
        
        If any truth to these rumours it feels very much like we have sacrificed promotion (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 14:51:51
        
        What rumours ?.. (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 14:56:07
        
        Not the ones we want in the team we didn't (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 15:05:53

      - I think he's a really poor defender tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 14:47:59
        
        He's clearly not. I agree he's had spells where he's been a bit iffy under Neil but (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 14:50:05
        
        Why hasn't he got a queue of buyers activating his clause then?.... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 14:55:16
        
        How do you know he has a clause? (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 15:04:10
        
        I don't know but doesn't it seem highly likely ... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 15:18:19
        
        If Ollsons poor what do you think of Whitakker! (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 11, 14:49:52
