I was thinking along those lines today too

If someone offered you 40k for your house (worth 150k) but you could still live in it, would you accept because your wife and family want a new kitchen holiday car, credit debts paid off

No is the answer, because your house is your castle, and you manage to get by and things aren't that bad

Accept and you've probably lost out on what you've actually paid off down the years, you now have an extra body in the house who can therefore have a lot of influence over anything

In that sense, The family didn't actually need to sell in the first place, as they already had a stable base and a manageable life

Transfer that to Norwich, and Delia doesn't actually need to sell

In that sense, if Cullum wants the club, he needs to really want it, not undervalue it and dress it up as a treasure chest for players

For me in a lot of ways, Cullum has just been one Ocean Finance advert in all this, over emphasizing the great times ahead when they are only short term

      - indeed - they want the club to FAIL! It's all so fucking obvious (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jul 11, 11:18:53
        
        lol (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 11, 11:40:45
- I think Delia not wanting her money back has been put to bed (NCFC) - camcan, Jul 11, 10:59:28
  - I'm really quite pissed off that Archant/Waghorn (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Jul 11, 11:07:10
    - presumably with Waghorn his franchise is at stake a bit too (NCFC) - camcan, Jul 11, 11:10:31
      - "King Of Deals" hook is LAME (n/m) (NCFC) - Tim Westwood, Jul 11, 11:11:12
        
        that's what I mean (NCFC) - camcan, Jul 11, 11:12:29
        
        Which kind of makes it all a little bit pointless (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Jul 11, 11:17:42
        
        yep (NCFC) - camcan, Jul 11, 11:18:59
        
        Way of the world I'm afraid (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 11, 11:34:08
        
        But he isn't really making any money (n/m) (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Jul 11, 11:24:44
        
        so perhaps at some point (NCFC) - camcan, Jul 11, 11:28:29
        
        And proof-reading (n/m) (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Jul 11, 11:30:37
        
        fewer masters! (n/m) (NCFC) - camcan, Jul 11, 11:36:07
    - Nothing new though is it? Was the same at the end of the Worthy era. (NCFC) - Tim Westwood, Jul 11, 11:08:42
      - for archant its not about offending the board (NCFC) - megson, Jul 11, 11:11:17
        
        yep which is what I was saying earlier (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jul 11, 11:12:55
