I'm not saying you can't

I'm just saying the root cause of our club's problems are the enormous gulf between us and the premiership - and you contribute to that by subscribing to the Sky deal which creates that gulf.

I thought earlier on you were suggesting that you wanted to take some kind of action to improve the situation. At the moment you're doing the opposite.

        The problem is not the loan system (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 10:15:39
        
        Why did you post it if it isn't "about that"? (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Sep 2, 10:09:44

        But it's a nonsensical argument. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 10:19:02
        
        why? (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 10:20:56
        
        I'm not sure. They sign these players because they can afford to, (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 10:27:22
        
        Because they have the money to buy potential (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 10:27:11

        I think we can take it from his silence below that he has Sky (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 11:00:01
        
        if it wasn't Sky it would be someone else (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 11:06:49
        
        Isn't the problem the disparity in incomes? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 11:15:13
        
        Yes I do have Sky (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 11:03:32

        Ben, I think you are right, but if you Ban the loans (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 10:40:12
        
        If not banning loans then something needs to change (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 10:44:58
        
        What can clubs below the Prem do to change things? (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 10:51:48
        
        Exactly (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 10:53:12

        You don't really think the Sky deal benefits our club (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 11:40:27
        
        Are you saying our club can live without the Sky money? (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 11:43:50

        Not at all but... (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 11:21:08
