why, at 11am, did we not pursue plan B?

User Posted Link

Leon had made it clear the previous day he wanted to leave, and we had the offer from Coventry that we ulitimately accepted. There were 13 hours left before the window closed.

As soon as we heard at 11am that Wigan were after him, we should have been trying to tie up the other deal.

But there obviously was no plan B. Not a single striker in any of the leagues worth our money.

That's what I find so disappointing.And yet given the way our club is run, not at all surprising.

- i think plan b was to get in a loan (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 1, 20:41:20

  - No idea whether it should have been Macleod or someone else (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 20:25:21
    - But, had all gone to plan yesterday, we WOULD have strengthened by a striker. (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 20:31:33
      - It went wrong at 11am. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 20:34:11
        
        Plan B was to hope he chose us over Wigan's bench. (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 20:38:18
        
        So... (NCFC) - HoofinHughes, Sep 1, 20:40:48
        
        Perhaps McLeod was going to cost more than we were willing to pay ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 20:45:04
        
        He's paid to maintain a big enough squad (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 20:49:44
        
        At the moment it is big enough. (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 20:56:27
        
        For what it's worth (NCFC) - HoofinHughes, Sep 1, 21:01:11
        
        Nobody agrees with that (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 21:03:49
        
        Ah you see you missed a big proviso there. (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 21:14:23
        
        Why did we try to sign Cotterill then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 21:31:04
        
        Because he would have been happy sitting on the bench... (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 21:40:04
        
        You may think so. Nigel didn't - before Leon left. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 20:58:28
        
        opinion, rather than oinion, btw. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 20:51:24
        
        This whole saga epitomises this club's attitude towards transfera (NCFC) - iwans_ex_dentist, Sep 1, 20:37:54
        
        Transfera ? Was that a Thundercat ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 1, 20:40:51
  - although.... (NCFC) - kentroadcanary, Sep 1, 20:24:42
