        Well in the case of Malpas (NCFC) - Reg Presley, Dec 29, 21:12:00
        
        Indeed, I agree with that (NCFC) - duke of york, Dec 29, 21:14:46
        
        Doesn't need many does it? (NCFC) - Reg Presley, Dec 29, 21:21:45

      - can't a change of manager (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 29, 19:41:51
        
        Yes, until the players 'lose respect' for the new one and we have to change it again. (NCFC) - tim berry, Dec 29, 19:45:35
        
        well we need to employ someone who isn't terrible (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 29, 19:47:34
        
        Grant was probably the most inept manager in the club's history. (NCFC) - tim berry, Dec 29, 19:55:23
        
        Oh come on! How can it be (NCFC) - BillySteele, Dec 29, 20:27:37
