Roughly yes, and Farke and Webber have both said the goal is top 25 for the moment

which means we have to realistically budget to go down and be able to go up again

Some upbeat stuff from Farke after last Saturday's match (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 13:49:03
- Why do you find it so difficult to understand the club hadn't got a pot to piss in? (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Nov 4, 23:16:34
- Fucksake Jim. "Thanks Delia"? Seriously? Have a fucking word with yourself. (NCFC) - Yurik Hunt, Nov 4, 15:13:23
  - Me too 👍 (n/m) (NCFC) - helvegtheowl, Nov 4, 17:36:40
  - I endorse this post. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pixelman, Nov 4, 16:19:07
  - You don't have a choice who to supoort through do you. Not if you are a proper fan (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 15:24:45
    - Yes Jim, exactly; we are. (n/m) (NCFC) - mike_the_sphinx, Nov 4, 15:31:13
- Yeah, thanks for nothing Delia (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Nov 4, 14:23:02
- Not sure it is Delia's fault. (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Nov 4, 14:21:19
  - it is, because Jim has suggested Delia should sell her assets for the good of the club (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 4, 17:28:02
  - It's not her fault, it's just that she doesn't have the requisite funds to move us on. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Nov 4, 15:09:15
- Because contrary to all the advice she's received, Delia has decided to spend nothing? (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 4, 14:11:16
- It’s a bit of a white lie isn’t it I mean.... (NCFC) - loz, Nov 4, 13:57:55
- Makes you wondert. The team gets all this money from (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 4, 13:53:25
  - That's my favourite one - bingo! Where's all the money gone?! FFS. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 4, 13:54:14
    - Classic innit (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Nov 4, 14:11:34
    - With the self sustaining model I assume a bit goes into the pot incase we go down. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Nov 4, 14:00:59
    - Ha, I always did find it weird that we got money for being in the Prem but no other teams (NCFC) - NorthByNorthWalsham, Nov 4, 13:58:32
      - I always found it weird that as soon as we got promoted we stopped having to pay wages (NCFC) - NJ_Canary, Nov 4, 14:11:37
        
        So let me get this narrative straight. After promotion (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 4, 14:16:21
        
        Didn't Webber cover this in a video interview earlier this season? (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Nov 4, 14:39:12
        
        It's not a 'story' - it's reality. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 4, 14:26:49
        
        Given that we completely f*d up last time and nearly bankrupted ourselves (NCFC) - NJ_Canary, Nov 4, 14:20:49
        
        How are we paying for the mistakes of the past - all those are off the books (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 14:27:40
        
        Not just payiong for it - we're trying to ensure it doesn't happen again (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 4, 14:58:59
        
        We really didn't though did we. Naismith and Jarvis on stupid contracts were about the (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 15:31:50
        
        It's wages, not purchases that cause the problems. (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 4, 15:40:34
        
        That is a slightly defeatist attitude then if we are holding money back any sort of (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 16:25:06
        
        it's not defeatist, it's realist. Look at our prem record. It's still likely we'll go down (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 4, 16:36:33
        
        It is/becomes self fulfilling (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 18:52:11
        
        exactly, Naismi9th alone probably cost us in the region of 20-25 million over his contract (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 4, 15:59:46
        
        I'm not disputing that but its been sorted/done so is not relevant to what we have to (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 16:26:05
        
        we only got him off the books last year, it's not hard to see that we've had to cover vast (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 4, 16:35:16
        
        This is where I get confused. People say there is no money (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 4, 16:40:48
        
        it's being/been ring-fenced so it's not being considered in money for this year's spending (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 4, 16:58:14
        
        So, after we put aside all the money to secure our future, (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 4, 18:14:19
        
        Yes, pretty much (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 18:53:08
        
        Roughly yes, and Farke and Webber have both said the goal is top 25 for the moment (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 4, 18:23:17
        
        Which is, in my opinion, a bit defeatist. Why not top 17? (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 18:54:07
        
        Funds aren't there to justify that as a target. (n/m) (NCFC) - FreshBlood, Nov 4, 22:47:56
        
        Sad. All seems a bit pointless doesn't it. (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 4, 14:22:32
        
        Yes about right. All of the £90 million odd increase in our turnoever is used up (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 14:20:08
        
        Plus of course the £30m brought in last season from selling Maddison and Murphy (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 14:24:45
        
        Which was used to keep the club going (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Nov 4, 14:25:37
        
        Was it? when the 2017/2018 accounts were published (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 14:33:36
        
        Why on earth would it include just the first instalment of Madders??? (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 4, 14:51:13
        
        Well thats what the club said. The profit included the first instalment of the Maddison (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 15:05:31
        
        The CASH would only include the first instalment, but the debtors would include the rest (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 4, 15:31:17
        
        and the accounts state (although you may be right and perhaps I am misunderstanding this) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 15:19:12
        
        Extra transfer fees to teams too (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 4, 14:22:11
- We get it Jim, now change the record (n/m) (NCFC) - NorthByNorthWalsham, Nov 4, 13:50:15
  - Not me saying it - thats Farke basically admitting we can;t compete in this league (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 13:59:15
    - I was referring to the Delia comment (n/m) (NCFC) - NorthByNorthWalsham, Nov 4, 13:59:47
      - Farke said that too (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 4, 14:01:05
        
        Bet he thought it though😁 (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Nov 4, 14:05:36
