He's paid to maintain a big enough squad

what you're saying is that there wasn't a player throughout the entire league worth adding to the squad to replace Mackenzie.

The moment Leon requested a transfer, NW should have been preparing to replace him in case it proved necessary. With more than one option.

I never, ever thought that we would sell Leon and not replace him yesterday. Not even with the low oinion I have of NW.

For a while yesterday I thought that Wigan might have hijacked the deal so late that we had no chance to tie up plan B. Now I log on tonight and realise we had plenty of time - there just was no plan B.

Which isn't acceptable.

why, at 11am, did we not pursue plan B? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 1, 20:14:24
- i think plan b was to get in a loan (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 1, 20:41:20
- Agree entirely (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Sep 1, 20:17:25
  - 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

        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
