I'm not saying he should be either. I'm pointing at the constant conspiracy that

Us having Delia as owner is a bad thing, and the equal opportunist theory that having Cullum will be one big honest happy family

I don't mind if Cullum takes over, I don't mind at all, but I also respect what Delia has done here, we've never been a giant in football, and we never will be. To expect it is foolish

To start a smear campaign against Delia and alienate them and the team which is looking likely next season, isn't fair on anyone

Doesn't stop people saying that if it does happen, then Delia and the board have asked for it

They clearly haven't

Poor relations inside the ground next season are the choice of the individual. But for the individuals who do, who will turn round and make out they're the angels in all of it, will be sickening, as they are part of the demise

        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

        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

        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

        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

        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

        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

        The standard Phankin answer to this... (NCFC) - Boris Johnson MP, Jul 13, 19:15:22

        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

        No way of telling... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 13, 17:27:16

        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
