  - Very worrying, because Bunn is no great shakes. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:51:22

Apparently McNally is a big fan of a Hoofball manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:46:21
- According to Waddockhunt (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 10:49:19
  - from what i read of Waddock's post i took that to mean McNally likes Pulis' achievement (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 3, 11:13:55
    - Yes that's exactly my point (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 11:48:09
    - his implication.. McNally wants Pulis as manager and that is who we will get (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:17:07
      - i don't give a shit what *his* implication of those words is (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 3, 11:19:44
        
        calm down dear. How about Guus Hiddink. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:28:12

        no, i don't give a shit what his intepretation of those words are either... (n (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:32:01
  - Why are folk getting so upset about this? (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 11:03:58
    - It may well be a choice. And if so probably a better manager than Hoot. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:04:55
  - Pulis is McNally's prefered choice. Long balls to RvW here we come! (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:50:20
    - Funny (n/m) (NCFC) - Canary147, Nov 3, 11:49:19
    - Would be an improvement to zero balls to him under Hughton (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 10:52:38
I can't help wondering.... (NCFC) - MaxsHandler, Nov 3, 10:22:39
- Snoddy showed the sort of passion & commitment (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:25:31
  - Sadly he was played while badly out of form (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:35:27
If Hoots goes then the clear favourites for the job are imo (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:17:03
- So in your opinion McNally loves Pulis? (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 10:35:13
  - Coz he said so (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:38:27
    - The prospect that we are incapable of emulating Swansea, Southampton (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:42:30
      - The point is (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:45:54
        
        No we don't. What shortsighted dumb thinking you moron. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:48:42

        Thanks (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:53:50
        
        You keep saying that but no one else seems to have heard it. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 10:58:50
        
        Waddock is just trying to make out there are no better choices than Hughton (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:07:47
        
        Well judging by this (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Nov 3, 11:09:22

        because he is a long ball manager and we don't have the players for that style (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:55:27
        
        Well I'm sure he would sign Peter Crouch in January (n/m) (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:56:51
        
        There's another reason not to hire him. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 11:03:49
    - Never seen anything to suggest that (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 10:42:12
      - I'm only saying what I've personally heard McNally say (n/m) (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:43:57

  - Not much difference between Pulis and Hoot (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:19:42
    - Interestingly there are a lot of Stokies who want Pulis back (n/m) (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:23:09
      - I am sure there are, it's not like Mark Hughes has done a lot. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:24:12
        
        Really? (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:27:51

        Even I wanted Roeder out (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:35:36
        
        Roeder lost the dressing room big style (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:36:53
        
        Of course McNally came to the rescue (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:42:53
        
        nah mate, it seems you got McNally mixed up with Hoot (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 10:44:24
        
        No, I have heard McNally say it (NCFC) - Waddockhunt, Nov 3, 10:47:19

        Which means absolutely nothing at all! Just fantasy football esque nonsense. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:11:45
        
        Numbers might be off but amazing how closely market (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:14:35
        
        So if we have spent more than teams above us irl, what does that suggest? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:18:12
        
        Means we probably overachieved last year (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:26:34
        
        How did last years team overachieve? Lambert's core squad had a previous similar finish (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:30:28
        
        Hanging onto our spending as a massive purse, when in reality, it's only the same as the (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:47:35
        
        Agree to a point, BUT (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:52:10
        
        fail to beat West Ham and I think that is it. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:56:06
        
        Yes, agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:04:22
        
        Lose to West Ham and I agree (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:00:22
        
        It is when we're in the position we're in currently (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:05:47
        
        Draw not good enough pants, we probably need 9-10 (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:05:40
        
        I actually think he deserves to be on thin ice now. 10 games is good a run (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:56:06
        
        No one is anmgery at the result, or the idea of conceding 4 or 5 (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:02:18
        
        Not when one is against the current champions (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:09:24
        
        Yes because United were brilliant before they played us, wren't they? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:14:30
        
        Lose 1-0, or lose 7-0, it amounts to the same thing (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:20:15
        
        No it doesn't. Goal difference is a factor when we're struggling so much (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:25:39
        
        Maybe in a purely statistical world, yes. Add emotion and confidence to it? A mile apart. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:22:07
        
        It really is. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:05:54
        
        If we get a point at least next week, it will prove something people should really (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:10:28
        
        It's worrying if we have to cling onto the idea of drawing vs whu at home (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:33:13
        
        We *sometimes* do, based on this season so far... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:12:18
        
        *angry (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:02:54
        
        it's the manner of the performance more than anything today (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:58:11
        
        I'm surprised this becomes a new thing to some people (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:02:23
        
        Did you watch the game/highlights. Complete capitulation. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 01:04:51
        
        I was also pissed of when we failed to beat Cardiff (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:51:02
        
        You were pissed off that we didn't beat a team that spent ?40m in the summer (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:05:29
        
        They spent ?27 million which was a little more than us, plus we had (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:20:05
        
        Net spenders really means nothing though does it. Really. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:54:46
        
        It does, because you lose quality and have to replace it. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:59:25
        
        Yeah it's strikers I'm thinking about really. We've recouped nothing from (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:03:46
        
        The players that Swansea lost had a big impact... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:22:05
        
        10, 15... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:29:10
        
        ...and who decided to swap Becchio for Morison? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:34:41
        
        Man City squad value around 450 million, us about 80 (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 00:57:24
        
        You just implied that today's players were nothing like the ones under Lambert (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:35:56
        
        Also i don't know what the fuck you're going on about... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:42:00
        
        Lambert's squad was a team of relatively young players from the lower leagues (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:37:32
        
        Yeah they're nothing like Lambert's players, they had some character at least! (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:37:24
        
        not really, Hughton actually has closer games than Lambert against Man City (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:44:12
        
        That's a ridiculous stance to take. Are you suggesting that Man City are better now (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:48:28
        
        Because they had a new manager coming in who was implementing his ideas (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:51:55
        
        Only the end of the season will prove whether you're correct on that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:55:48
        
        Thing is, it really wasn't like the lambert games. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:46:30
        
        Exactly. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:48:48
        
        Yeah, today was like Lambert v Sunderland (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:48:18
        
        very true, he looked ill that day, and the team played that way. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:51:13
- Agreed (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:22:51
  - Utter Tosh.......... (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 3, 00:47:54
    - Explain (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:06:48
      - Yellalee already did........ (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 3, 01:12:36
        
        ...and I put that argument straight to bed. Don't take the conversation out of context. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:16:11
  - 'Given Infinite patience' - by whom? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:31:43
    - A particular group of fans who think he can do no wrong and blame other circumstances (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:36:03
      - But this is it, I don't think they think everything is fine... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:41:19
        
        Eh? SCC made a point about some people being annoying in that way (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:08:04
    - Wasn't that a Delia comment about Worthington? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:32:35
      - Yes indeed, and we all know that Worthy was here too long... (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:37:59
- Will you want McNally out if he doesn't sack hughton? (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 3, 00:21:31
  - If they both lead us to relegation (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 3, 00:28:15
  - At least McNally has credit in the bank from saving the club from administration (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:24:59
    - he also helped us towards staying in the prem with his choice of Hughton as manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 3, 00:30:20
      - Well we stayed up so definitely, hence why he hasn't fucked up yet. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:08:39
    - Harsh to call Hughton a mistake... (NCFC) - mr chimp, Nov 3, 00:27:11
      - Did I say he has made a mistake yet? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:29:02
        
        Fair enough. Not trying to pick a fight. (n/m) (NCFC) - mr chimp, Nov 3, 00:33:46
      - Yeah, was manager of the year iirc. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 00:28:24
- I saw enough in the last few games (not today) to warrant a chance for Hughton (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:21:04
  - Isn't that the bare minimum you would expect with the money invested this season? (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:23:40
    - Lots of teams have invested big cash. Somehow beat the hammers and newcastle (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:27:34
      - We have the fifteenth biggest net spend in Europe, apparently. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:30:24
        
        and if we win next weekend at home to the hammers we are mid table (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:31:51
      - or not top half actually. But still, we are not cut adrift by any stretch (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:29:30
  - Rubbish, Cardiff and Stoke aside we've been fucking useless (n/m) (NCFC) - Hulk Rules, Nov 3, 00:23:29
    - and southampton and everton.... That is 4 of the 10 teams (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:26:42
      - so you think scoring precisely 0 goals (NCFC) - Ghost Ship Belly, Nov 3, 01:59:54
Sacking Hughton now would be dumb (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:00:16
- Oh shut up you tedious (NCFC) - Ghost Ship Belly, Nov 3, 01:54:37
- "You can't expect anything against Spurs Arsenal Manu Chelsea or Man City" (NCFC) - trt354, Nov 3, 00:22:00
  - The argument for keeping him last season was his record against the big sides (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:26:22
  - IF we beat West Ham next weekend, we go above them, we could possibly go 14th. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:24:36
  - Very worrying we've been comprehensively beaten by all of those teams already. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 00:23:41
- Keep the faith. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 00:01:50
  - He deserves the next three games (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:03:48
    - Our away record under Hughton (NCFC) - trt354, Nov 3, 00:14:28
    - I'm not sure he deserves anything anymore. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 00:08:50
    - Yep in a way nothing should change after today (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:07:31
      - I think this too. It would take a stronger fan to let their feelings towards Hughton slide (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:14:58
        
        The good thing is, the crowd (up until today) has been largely onside (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:27:25
        
        2 goals scored in 5 games - Hull, Villa, Soton, Stoke, Cardiff (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:18:06
        
        Yep, and I think he's on a game by game now. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:28:34
How about we try West Ham's formation 4-6-0 Surely it can't do any worse? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 2, 23:16:17
- Roeder played that formation (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 2, 23:55:58
  - and? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:00:06
    - Was ripped to pieces for doing so (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:07:47
- My team for Saturday (NCFC) - theox, Nov 2, 23:24:01
  - My team for Saturday (NCFC) - shortfatb, Nov 2, 23:57:32
- ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Nov 2, 23:18:41
I just cannot see the benefit of not closing anyone down. Shocking. (n/m) (NCFC) - theox, Nov 2, 23:14:45
- Glad Shearer showed us up so easily.... McN wont like that (n/m) (NCFC) - Taxi 4 Johnson, Nov 2, 23:19:19
  - Just watched the highlights.... Even more embarrassing than watching it live (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 2, 23:36:22
