That's the new community club model as I understand it

Why else appoint a total novice who doesn't know the league or have any track record managing at this level.

It's a big risk to take and fits into the agenda of club owners who are not particularly fussed about challenging for promotion. They know they can flog players more easily as a result

      - But if all our players are shit, we aren't selling good ones so it doesn't matter (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Jan 20, 18:55:49
      - Agreed, suits the club not to be near the playoffs so they can justify player sales (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 20, 18:55:12
        
        Genuine question (NCFC) - CauldRon, Jan 20, 19:02:48
        
        Do you think the fans would be happy losing Pritchard if we were in the playoffs? (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 20, 19:08:13
        
        You think the owners want us not to be near playoffs (NCFC) - CauldRon, Jan 20, 19:09:11
        
        That's the new community club model as I understand it (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 20, 19:13:11
        
        Then you dobt undetstand it (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 20, 19:28:32
        
        Ffs, cant type (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 20, 19:28:51
        
        Why would they WANT to flog players? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 20, 19:22:40
        
        But if you cut the budgets enough then the community club ideal can be achieved (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 20, 19:28:58
        
        Rather than get promoted and earn a bigger wedge yeah? (n/m) (NCFC) - CauldRon, Jan 20, 19:18:35
        
        What signs are there that they want promotion? Don't think our recruitment points to that (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 20, 19:21:18
        
        Because we think it the best option with the resources available (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 20, 19:24:43
        
        So our best option is appointing a manager with no track record of success? (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 20, 19:30:14
        
        Our approach is partly based on bringing through young talent (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 20, 19:37:19
        
        Ask me again at end of transfer window (NCFC) - CauldRon, Jan 20, 19:24:39
- Might as well fuck off then (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jan 20, 18:34:00
