Well, who's to say what's a fair price?

It's got nothing to do with the size of his fortune - should he pay ?100 million just because he can afford it? You seem convinced that D&Ms valuation is absolutely correct - I just don't see it; but I really have no idea what the true value is. Now go listen to the radio...

        Is it? Seems like you're reading into it what you want to prove your point (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 13, 17:47:37
        
        From the over reaction and disgusting behaviour so far (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 17:50:51

        I wasn't suggesting we build more, but shat's wrong with making use of facilities (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 18:20:11

        Whether it's too late or not, it is still speculation isn't it? (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 18:40:09
        
        it was too bloody late.. end of. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:55:17
        
        Completely. Missed. The. Point. (n/m) (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 19:08:53
        
        not missed at all. They showed no ambition on promotion (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:19:26
        
        If we had spent 20m on players, and high wages, we could have ended up like (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:21:44
        
        They could have spent at least 3.5 million more on promotion (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:25:04
        
        It wouldn't have made a difference (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:31:12
        
        how do you know it wouldnt have mattered (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:35:20
        
        you don't get many decent strikers for 3,5m (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:47:53
        
        You got Peter Crouch and Dean Ashton in our Year (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:54:23
        
        We ididn't get crouch, we couldn't afford 2m, we can't now (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 21:58:19
        
        and Derby spent more than us finished with the record lowest points total (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:32:28
        
        The amount of money went up however by then (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:37:10
        
        If you accept that, then you know why we didn't go overboard to stay up (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:53:18
        
        we didnt even spend what we could until it was too late (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:54:51
        
        I didn't think you would accept it (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 21:15:35
        
        someone will now say (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:42:45
        
        This is what gets on my nerves (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:12:08
        
        What is the point in having a Premiership stadium, a Premiership training ground... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:18:14
        
        But everything IS geared towards the football... (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 18:26:29
        
        Well I don't expect multi-million pound transfers from this Board. (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:34:15
        
        considering our team of which Roeder's assembling now, the ones that aren't his buys (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:51:49
        
        Fozzy and Brellier free... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:56:05
        
        Amazing all those figures are now low (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:07:10
        
        it's basically, all phrankin ever does (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:08:00
        
        Grant was a fucking awful manager. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:20:04
        
        and someone you compared to Roeder time and time again last season (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:26:53
        
        depends what Roeder turns up (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:28:11
        
        see, you don't really rate him (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:36:41
        
        he made mistakes (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:40:18
        
        Agreed, absolutely. (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 18:44:56
        
        We allow managers decent money for players though (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:54:20
        
        And of course I agree with your summation. (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:50:27
        
        And of course I agree with your summation. (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:50:23
        
        I would like us to be challenging for the play-offs (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:28:51
        
        I don't think you quite understood my point. (n/m) (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 18:33:31
        
        Because if we didn't work to secure and preserve those things (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:24:07
        
        So, to cut that babble short... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:26:46
        
        I'm not saying that either (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:00:55
        
        for anyone who wants to take this out of context (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:03:15
        
        Yeah but we don't even try to do better. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:16:44
        
        Yes of course, their whole objective is just to wind you up (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:23:04
        
        show a time the current Board have shown ambition please. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:25:50
        
        actually I will show you the one they used for years (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:33:04
        
        bingo!! so how does Huckerby work? I thought the club choses to ignore investment???????? (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:11:42
        
        They were given the money by a businessman (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:22:51
        
        ^^ Bingo (n/m) (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 19:24:41
        
        well he was right to be worried (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 19:28:47
        
        Because huckerby was a luxury, a luxury that effectively saved worthingtons job (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 21:41:46
        
        The standard Phankin answer to this... (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 19:15:22
        
        aye, that's the skipper a load were slagging off once (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:17:48

        Gove it a few days and you'll be comparing delia to chase (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:38:20
        
        Never, all they've ever wanted was to win the fa vase (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:32:15
        
        Who in football doesn't want to win stuff? That is not ambition. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:34:13
        
        That's fair do's I guess (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:01:35
        
        lucky Delia and co increased their shares value by 20% in October (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:06:24
        
        No way of telling... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 17:27:16
        
        True (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 17:30:24
        
        But you've said yourself... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 17:32:24
        
        Exactly, so he wouldn't offer more for the club (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 17:38:01
        
        So you want it both ways... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 17:43:45
        
        Of course he's gonna say that, he was drumming up support (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 17:49:25
        
        same bullshit and lies Delia gave when she said she wouldnt be getting her money back (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:08:34
        
        Of course, Cullum will mean and say everything he does too (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:17:01
        
        you are just saying Cullum is saying hollow words based on NOTHING. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 13, 18:21:16
        
        Why should Cullum be any different to Delia? (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:19:40
        
        I'm not saying he should be either. I'm pointing at the constant conspiracy that (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 18:30:42
        
        I don't think any true fan of NCFC can criticise Delia too harshly... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 18:46:48
        
        It's not a transfer budget though, it's much much more than that (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 19:14:19
        
        Also, they make every season ticket holder pay for every cup game too (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 17:40:19
        
        pants... you're overlooking one (or two) vital points... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 17:45:51
        
        The vital thing is, we could become crystal palace though (NCFC) - pants, Jul 13, 17:52:33
        
        We could... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 17:58:46
