    This doesn't make very good reading at all and it really brings home the dire state NCFC finds itself in :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Needless to say I wholeheartedly agree with this from the first reply to the article <grr>

    "This is probably why the much-vaunted idea from on high of self sustainability and an absolute refusal to entertain the idea of outside investment sticks in my craw – it surely cannot be viable in the bearpit of modern football administration."

    Well we all know that some of our precarious financial situation is down to very bad player purchases and millions being wasted on then getting shot of them when they appear to be failing the club. These mistakes are costing us big time and it’s the fans who are left disappointed and downhearted. Again, player sales will have to take place, but hopefully we will not waste this money on more poor player purchases, if any. Maddison looks odds on to go and now the Prem vultures are circling for Ben Godfrey, good enough for them, but out on loan so clearly not good enough to be in our main squad? Can’t see anybody wanting to put money, if allowed, into NCFC as we are not a fashionable club where investment will attract success. Let’s face it, we are not going to be in the Prem any time soon so let’s get used to the fact.

    You mean RvW who is now scoring regularly in Champions league with Basel under a manager who knows how to use him?

    Yes, and others. So many cock-ups. I really can’t understand how the persons responsible for the purchase and subsequent use of these players were allowed to make such poor decisions. Paid a lot to cock-up a lot.

    I was saying least season that Godfrey should be considered for the first team squad.
    Edit - didn't he get a brief appearance as a sub last season????

    PS - So AN signed BOTH Godfrey and JM, but he also signed Naismith!!!! <yikes>

    Well guys look on the Brightside! You've have had a nice long run of success stretching back to the Lambert era in 2009/10 but nothing lasts forever. <ok>

    There was a time when I thought that we were actually going to leave the EU but that's another matter entirely!

    Football as you know is cyclical and you have to take the good with the bad but in my case I just have to take the bad with the worse! <laugh>

    Maybe we should have one of these on either sleeve -
    to strike dread into the heart of every single opponent? :emoticon-0112-wonde
