is it really good?

gowers key take is that wagner needs to go. not saying that he doesn't but surely it's glaringly obvious that it is smith and wynn jones are suffocating the life out of the club and have sailed way beyond their sell by date?

i had hoped the american would have done something by now to change things up a little but aside from bunging some cash at it, other than that he appears to contribute nothing more than a few soundbytes. aside from that it just appears to be business as normal apart from delia has started sniping at the supporters and we've replaced the sd with a loans manager.

i wonder if the bottom of the death spiral is league one? if portsmouth can do it there's no reason why we can't have a good crack at it. let's push all the stops in and go for it.

    - We have a top 6 first team but not a top 6 squad. (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:10:13
    - Where is the evidence that we have a top 6 squad? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:06:42

        Possible, but far from certain (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:30:24
    - We've sacked managers mid season for the last two years. (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:04:45
      - Alex Neil was midseason. then got us promoted (n/m) (NCFC) - pab, Dec 30, 10:21:29

      - We keep picking up dinosaurs rather than … (NCFC) - loz, Dec 30, 10:08:00
        
        It’s very easy to type on WOTB (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:28:48
        
        I agree, which is why the next appointment needs to be right and not knee jerk (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:09:40
        
        Yep, my thoughts exactly (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:13:11
  - "Retard" rather than "imbecile" for Jim! 😀 (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Dec 30, 10:02:15
    - It seems to vary between the two 😂😂 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:03:20
      - I’m sorry I will try not to but I just find it so frustrating (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 30, 10:10:53
        
        Yes, fair enough. I must say, last night’s selection seemed bizarre (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:37:37

        He probably could. But yes, he might be ok (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:08:13
        
        There's nothing to hint that he would be any better (n/m) (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Dec 30, 10:08:03
- Pretty much spot on (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Dec 30, 09:45:46
- Imagine if Pukki or Emi were dropped after one quiet game (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 09:45:27
  - Its sounds weird but *apart from the goals* Rowe has been poor for several games (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:06:17
    - I’d understand it if we had other options capable of scoring (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:16:03
      - Like I say, I think it is a fitness issue they are managing that they want to keep hush (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:25:26
        
        I'm inclined to agree. Young player, (NCFC) - Azteca, Dec 30, 11:26:35
        
        Exactly this (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 11:51:48
