        Yes, fair points (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 7, 11:05:30
        
        Yeah, turnover shouldn’t have that cliff edge (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 7, 11:03:59
    - Punching above one’s weight is subjective (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Nov 7, 09:43:37
      - I suppose these days the weight would be related to wage bill (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 7, 10:24:04
        
        Yes, turnover and wage bill I would say (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 7, 11:17:37

      - Their head coach just had his contract expire and went to a rival (n/m) (NCFC) - city_lad, Nov 7, 10:02:48
    - Yeah I hope that we can learn from them. E.g. maybe on the data driven recruitment side (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 7, 09:21:21
      - Could've hired a sporting director to achieve that (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 7, 09:57:20
