In which case, why not?

We were told when we went up that we were financially well managed and had planned for relegation. If that is true (and given that you always claim we got relegated because we didn't spend any money) how come we have suddenly run out. It suggests to me that someone somewhere has p*ssed a hell of a lot of money down the drain for little reward. And Worthy is the obvious candidate.

        We had a budget of ?4.5m on promotion. (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:28:13
        
        Promotion is worth about ?35m (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 7, 11:31:11
        
        That includes bollocks like... (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:43:28

        you dont lose it to the taxman..... how many times has this been discussed (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 7, 11:40:48
        
        there are special laws you lose nothing (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 7, 11:41:41
        
        that tax argument is a f*cking urban myth (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 7, 11:39:35
        
        we HAD a huge chunk of money (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 7, 11:25:12
        
        See above. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:28:54
        
        Worthys had the money, he has spent 10m getting us to where we were when he started (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 7, 11:22:55
        
        Or better judgement? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Apr 7, 11:21:38
        
        Possibly. But if he had 100% third eye-style judgement... (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:34:18
        
        rather than defensive midfield plodders (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 7, 11:39:27
        
        Can't disagree with anything that you say there. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dog, Apr 7, 11:03:43
        
        yeah its fucked Palace right up (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 7, 10:58:38

        This board are well known for their smoke and mirrors. (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 10:54:56
        
        But what, precisely, do we gain from not telling the fans that Worthy will be going? (NCFC) - Dog, Apr 7, 10:58:50
        
        Cos we're not that sort of club. (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:00:42
        
        that's why we never really progress. Attitude in the Prem was appalling (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 7, 11:07:29
        
        I agree with you there. (NCFC) - Dog, Apr 7, 11:02:28
        
        But we've always been like that. (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:13:00
        
        I think the board are quite comfortable sitting on their hands... (NCFC) - Dog, Apr 7, 11:30:16
        
        Nothing will ever change at the club as long as (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 7, 10:50:31

        But would you sack your best buddy? (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 7, 11:12:20
        
        but that is a different argument (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 7, 11:19:22
        
        I think its a mix of both (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 7, 11:25:56
        
        How do you know they're best buddies. (NCFC) - Arganth, Apr 7, 11:15:40
        
        I dont, but its pretty clear that Worthy is "well in" with the board (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 7, 11:19:53
        
        agree with Mr C (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 7, 11:08:36
