no we wouldn't

because we'd still have had to sell our better players well before the end of the season to keep the bank manager at bay.

- 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
