man who got the same treatment at Leicester, promised this that and the other

then took the job and told they weren't going to happen. He had to accept that. He got on with it from what I noticed

This is the same Leicester who booted out said board like we did after protests

He was happy to work under that, but not with us

- MON to Milligan (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:06:11
- yep - totally agree - these are the facts and MON was totally right in what he did (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 11:53:13
  - We slaughter people in football for having no principles, and then criticize mon for them (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 11:55:39
    - we would have got promoted (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:06:45
      - no we wouldn't (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 9, 13:22:04
      - Is the correct answer (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:08:01
        
        exactly (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:10:13
        
        jeez you have to have some issues to still hold anything against him (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:16:23
        
        yeah, I have loads of issues (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:18:41
        
        because you still hold it against him, where IMO he never did anything wrong (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:21:21
        
        If you have an opinion on an event (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:25:04
        
        IMO Euro 96 is the most overrated sporting performance by this country ever... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:39:22
        
        it's like any major tournament (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:41:07
        
        He did "reach" it, (NCFC) - mike_the_sphinx, Apr 9, 12:35:22
        
        No he didn't (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:46:34
        
        The question really is whether you are allowed any principles in football (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:27:42
        
        lol (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:32:03
        
        So it is all MON's fault that it took us another 9 years to get promoted. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:13:34
        
        Mike Milligan and Jerry Goss (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:19:26
        
        you say that like it was a bad thing - MM was one of the worst CM's we've ever had (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:20:34
        
        He was fantastic (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:25:51
        
        partly yes (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:15:12
        
        His fault because he racked up the debt then appointed bad managers to follow him (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:16:37
        
        I didn't say that (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:18:29
        
        How is he to blame that we took another 9 years to get promoted then (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:19:25
        
        Because at the time we had the right squad, attitude and players to get promoted (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:21:18
        
        Did he sign that many of our players within the first few years (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:24:56
        
        Him leaving was a factor (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:20:29
        
        man who got the same treatment at Leicester, promised this that and the other (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:12:51
        
        I don't value promotion that highly I'm afraid (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:10:00
        
        at that time it was vital we got promoted (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:12:39
        
        and then we could've ended up like Coventry or Southampton (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 12:16:11
        
        Yep Southampton - 10 more years of Premiership football (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 9, 12:53:26
        
        and where are they now? (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 12:57:16
        
        ... (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 9, 13:01:27
        
        i see you more as someone who likes to troll a bit when you get bored (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 13:07:42
        
        lol (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 13:09:50
        
        i care more about where we are now and where we could be going (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 13:17:25
    - He was lied to at Leicester but stayed (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 11:59:35
      - For me, he quit wycombe for us, quit us for leicester, quit them for celtic (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:01:21

        Pants (NCFC) - Thai Bride, Apr 9, 12:08:07
        
        apologies for getting upset about us not getting promoted at a vital time of the season (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:09:22
        
        walked because we had an utter twat of a chairman (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 9, 12:52:31
        
        not the same (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:06:40
        
        Ferguson left jobs for a step up, so did MON (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:08:48
        
        step up to Leicester?? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:10:47
        
        the move to leicester only happened due to Chase (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:12:30
        
        I don't mind him leaving for a step up (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:14:22
        
        He had every right to leave. He was hired under false pretences (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:15:56
        
        He was at Leicester too, but stayed (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:17:43
        
        You know this for a fact do you? (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:21:17
        
        you need to prove this was the same pants (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:19:29
        
        Which you both know is really hard to do because of the internet not being archived that (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:28:15
        
        OK I will. I have a brilliant memory football wise and don't remember (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:32:28
        
        Me neither; but my memory is not what it was... (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Apr 9, 12:41:44
        
        ... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 12:31:24
        
        its rubbish (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:34:21
        
        Why not just ask on a Leicester Message Board? (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:36:00
        
        You could be right about tinternet, but then you could actually be wrong as well (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:29:58
        
        Going on what I can, here's the wembley team of that season (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:38:32
        
        he signed izzet and lennon who were excellent for the scum bags (n/m) (NCFC) - thebarclayprince, Apr 9, 18:09:43
        
        Little bit simplistic dont you think (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:42:18
        
        I did say that the internet archive was poor (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:18:15
        
        No-one is disputing that he didn't sign many players in his first half season! (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Apr 9, 13:33:23
        
        It's okay (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:35:53
        
        Which is totally irrelevant to this discussion (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Apr 9, 13:39:49
        
        There's a clue to the fact Leicester fans protested against their board (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:41:07
        
        I can't even find that on the net, which surprises me (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:54:18
        
        As I recall, it was because two managers had left in quick succession (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Apr 9, 14:11:52
        
        How does that prove anything? (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:40:43
        
        that for the first season at least (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 12:58:52
        
        Grant quit West Ham for Norwich - hang him (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:03:51
        
        not the same (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:06:20
        
        how so? (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:08:06
        
        I would never quit a job to progess to a better one. Im a 25 year old paper boy (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 9, 12:02:15
      - not by Charles & Eddie he wasnt (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Apr 9, 12:00:20
