nice back-peddaling, super work you're doing there

you really think we went into the season having already written off promotion?

i don't, i think we were still hoping to be able to do enough, even with the upheaval, to get into the play offs

what percentage of support would you have liked the board give to their chosen Sporting Director and Head Coach though?

Looking at the table just makes it more frustrating (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 7, 09:43:41
- Go and and have a wank. Far more productive than worrying about this load of old squit (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Mar 7, 11:37:03
- The same Mitrovic who is on 50k+ a week? (NCFC) - Waz, Mar 7, 10:55:31
  - short term loans are pointless though (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 12:05:46
    - Not if you have an option to buy if get promoted (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 7, 12:42:54
      - we were 13th, fulham were in 7th and 8 points ahead (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 12:53:43
  - For 20 weeks. £1m cost. In any event Mitrovic was an example (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 7, 11:29:53
    - Our only chance going forward is to... (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 7, 14:23:10
    - The sale of these players is plugging a huge hole in our finances, (NCFC) - Waz, Mar 7, 12:53:29
    - vmt - we spent more on signing Srbeny than Fulham have on loaning Mitrovic (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 11:36:30
      - Both approaches are gambles (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 7, 12:53:20
        
        I'm not sure one of them had a greater downside potential than the other (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 13:05:10
        
        if we get relegated with our current approach the debts will still be manageable (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 13:13:37
        
        bit of a straw man there (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 13:23:09
        
        you've extrpolated a long way from Jim's original post there about what he means (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 13:48:59
        
        well, this isn't his only post on the subject (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 13:57:17
        
        as his differing posts on short-term loans proves - yes it does change (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 14:21:53
        
        you're caricaturing his arguments again (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 14:37:01
        
        lolf! any loan can be beneficial or any loan can turn out to be shit (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 14:53:07
        
        I never said that, I was talking about Leitner (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 7, 15:24:40
        
        it was in a post referring to Lietner's signing but your exact words were (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 15:53:20
        
        they read what they want to read (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 7, 14:02:22
        
        we read the conspiracy theories and question them, for sure (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 15:05:38
        
        We’ve had our share of bad luck to key injuries to Klose and Pritchard (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 7, 14:04:57
      - How do we know this?... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 7, 12:01:39
        
        we have spent quite a lot (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 12:58:42
        
        We are not skint because we have had to sell 30m pound worth of players ... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 7, 13:11:52
        
        The sales are irrelevant in this context though (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 13:16:32
        
        Well plenty to suggest that at least some of them will be a success ... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 7, 13:37:58
        
        sure, some of them will probably be successful (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 14:00:48
        
        Well we have officially the poorest owners in the championship ... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 7, 14:02:58
        
        but we're not skint (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 14:31:50
        
        They’ve not sold millions and millions of pounds worth of players though and ... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 7, 14:52:00
        
        but that's irrelevant to the argument of whether or not we are skint (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 15:07:31
        
        if we'd have bet all the money of gambling on promotion this season (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 15:17:29
        
        Then we have to sell an extra player in the summer and you accept that because we'd at (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 7, 15:29:41
        
        unless we signed another Naismith or Jarvis... (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 16:15:48
        
        another straw man (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 15:28:57
        
        it's not a fucking strawman (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 7, 15:58:45
        
        that's not the same as saying gambling all the money on promotion (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 16:42:14
        
        Would be a bit odd not to give 100% support to your CEO and manager (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 7, 17:13:44
        
        well, obviously that would be a bit odd (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 7, 17:19:39
