I prattle on about the January window, but the main criticism to past regimes

was the loan system

I used to say that previous managers were probably let down by not getting the players they wanted, and resorted to lesser targets or loans

Well that's what we did in Jan. We got a striker in that Hughton seems to not want (so it's more likely Morison was adament about wanting to leave, and we didn't stand in his way)....

And, we got a loan in

This is why I harp on about the board being accountable as well as Hughton. We regressed badly in January, and we're really paying for it now

      - yep plenty of us weren't happy tbf (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 6, 13:23:46
- Maybe, but the board has to support the manager and though they might query his targets (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, May 6, 12:26:21
- If only they'd listen. (n/m) (NCFC) - tudders, May 6, 12:21:49
  - *sigh (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, May 6, 12:23:05
    - You're always first in the queue with this ugly Morrissey personality tudders (NCFC) - pants, May 6, 12:27:41
- I think it's obvious Hughton was backed. (NCFC) - lurd, May 6, 12:20:21
  - Yeah we did, but no plan C. Graham was plan B wasn't he ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 6, 12:20:56
    - Both plan A and plan B were NEVER going to happen (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 6, 12:54:41
    - graham was homesick (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 6, 12:21:53
      - Yeah. For Sunderland apparently. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 6, 12:27:39
- Dont think there are many that would disagree. (NCFC) - Pit, May 6, 12:19:18
  - hoot's blunder not having enough targets (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 6, 12:20:52
- Yes, I agree loans are often more of a hindrance than a help. Roeder was the master. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 6, 12:19:07
  - It will just be a bit short sighted, again, if one man takes the rap (NCFC) - pants, May 6, 12:24:21
    - I reckon they should can him now, before we're in the bottom three (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, May 6, 12:28:09
      - Well my point about that, was always that you should give someone the season (NCFC) - pants, May 6, 12:36:00
        
        So Hughton will have had a season (NCFC) - pants, May 6, 12:37:17
      - Gunn in!!! Let's get Melissa on the case. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 6, 12:29:43
    - Yes, unless it turns out Hughton was a total tosser, hated by all. Like Roeder. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 6, 12:27:25
      - But you agree his circumstances weren't great? (NCFC) - pants, May 6, 12:33:53
      - 0% chance of that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, May 6, 12:29:43
  - And although I did like Kei - he offered something different - I can't understand why, if (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 6, 12:20:02
    - well we haven't seen much of Becky (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, May 6, 12:29:41
      - Thing is though, he's not really a target man, he's a poacher (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 6, 12:57:42
    - not good enough for the prem and we have champ strikers (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 6, 12:22:54
      - but better than what we have (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 6, 12:23:34
    - Seems crazy (NCFC) - Chicken, May 6, 12:22:37
