        It is. it still pains me to think they might have not signed him (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 13:19:59

        no it doesn't (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 22, 13:31:29
        
        I guess the local Businessman was out of cash when the opportunity (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 13:35:20
        
        yeah, and the lack of ambition the board has shown by not pushing the boat out (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 22, 13:39:20
        
        Eh? We could have bought Crouch if we'd raised £1m (NCFC) - Old Git, May 22, 13:45:48
        
        maybe, though in the end he didn't help keep Southampton up (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 22, 13:54:58
        
        maybe their problem wasn't the strikeforce (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 14:02:55
        
        Well we managed to find 3 million from somewhere in January (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 13:40:51

        'not available....' hmmmm (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 14:03:44
        
        We had no boat to push out. You're not getting this, are you ?! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 22, 13:31:09
