we HAD a huge chunk of money

the Prem is worth millions and you yourself are always pointing out how little we spent while there. And now you are also claiming we don't have much money we have left. So by your own argument we must have spent a huge amount. Unfortunately, as we keep pointing out, the manager spent it all on rubbish.

        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
        
        But southampton look at them!! (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 7, 11:03:15
    - But that's not his opinion, to be fair... (NCFC) - Orlando, Apr 7, 10:43:11
      - surely even if he goes in the summer.. (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 7, 10:49:20
      - Well he was of the opinion (below) that Hughes will come good. (NCFC) - Dog, Apr 7, 10:47:52
        
        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
        
        disagree (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 7, 11:04:37
        
        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
