I wouldn''t hugely miss Sky Sports, but do like the convenience of just being able to watch something when I want, without faff.End of the day its about your budget. If I was wanting to cut costs from my monthly bills, Sky would likely go.And on that pun, my son can also watch my sky sports package on his ipad at uni, as I have given him my Sky Sports Go log in.[/quote][Y]

    Excellent player for us.  Very underrated at times imo.

    [quote user="morty"][quote user="city-till-i-die"]I''m not saying in anyway shape or form "just bring in a rich owners" they have to be the right owners. I would just love NCFC to have the backing to push us in to the next level (staying in the prem) not ripping up trees but solid in that league. Then we progress from there. I think we need a change from the very top to push the club on again only my opinion. If you''ve enjoyed the last 15-20 games and the football we''ve played And don''t think we need to freshen it up , i think you may have blinkers on. One love #OTBC[/quote]I see what you''re saying, I really do.But the bit I bolded really is the tricky bit.Delia and Michael are the right owners.Just not rich enough.[/quote]And my point following on from city-till-i-die''s wish to become an established PL side, means as they are''nt rich enough to achieve that, then they aren''t the right owners.

    [quote user="morty"]Because our owners have less money than, probably, every single other owner in the Premiership Bob?Does that answer your question?[/quote]Totally accept that bit, but if, and it''s a big if, we want to become an established PL club I don''t believe we can do it with the current owners, do you?  If you agree with that, then we are back to the apparent reluctance of the current owners to consider either new owners, or huge investment.

    [quote user="morty"]I think the whole "amount of money" is also a bit of a red herring.Mainly because every single club in the Premiership has exactly the same money to spend, with, in most cases, a bit more.The main thrust of my OP is that its a very difficult balancing act, obviously limited by our financial constraints.I think most people just want richer owners, and they don''t mind who.[/quote]Morty you''re going to have to explain your post a bit to thicko here:Mainly because every single club in the Premiership has exactly the same money to spend, with, in most cases, a bit more.I must be misunderstanding this, you can''t be saying that Hull for example have the same size transfer  pot as Man City or Arsenal etc.?  It''s also certainly more than ''a bit more''.If you meant the Championship, Rotherham for example compared to say Derby or Newcastle, it''s no contest.The main thrust of my OP is that its a very difficult balancing act, obviously limited by our financial constraints.Surely this contradicts what you just said, if we all have pretty much the same to spend, why have we got financial constraints which don''t seem to affect many others.I think most people just want richer owners, and they don''t mind who.The ''don''t mind who'' part of that sentence is completely wrong.  You read this forum all the time.  You know perfectly well that as soon as new owners are mentioned there is a flurry of posts saying that they don''t want foreign owners who don''t care about the club, and if that was the case they would rather maintain the status quo.If I''ve got your post completely wrong I apologise............just giving my view for what it''s worth.

    [quote user="morty"][quote user="OldRobert"][quote user="morty"]Why isn''t Alex Neil Steve Bruce?[:(][/quote]You tell me, you''ve got all the answers....................or not.[/quote]It was a rhetorical question, and quite clearly mocking you writing the transfer off, literally seconds after the rumour has started.[/quote]I asked you a straightforward question which you swerved.  If you were a player like Lansbury, would you prefer to play under Bruce or Neil?  I was not writing any transfer off, as you say it is but a rumour, although I would have thought a LB and/or a CB were more of a priority.

    Yet another case of stating the bleeding obvious.
  15. OldRobert
    Didn''t know he could play LB.

    Even if the unlikely happened, and the BOD were to make a U turn and sack Neil, with our majority shareholders giving the impression in their press interview of being somewhat out of touch with reality, and the way that football works now, it does make one wonder what sort of manager would wish to come and work for such an inward looking BOD as ours.
  18. OldRobert
    And they are but 3 points behind us, and we are supposed to be so much better.  Who''s mocking who here?
  19. OldRobert
    No-one''s coming here, we''ve already got a ''manager'', beloved by the BOD who isn''t going anywhere, so the whole question is irrelevant.
  20. OldRobert
    And still you keep going.................beats me how you expect anything to change.

    [quote user="PurpleCanary"][quote user="Canary Exile 2015"]I listened to RM''s comments about how AN thoroughly prepared the team for each game and that they fully understand his instructions - especially about competing from minute 1. This in my opinion highlights the fundamental flaw in AN''s outputs in that he either does not have the players to carry these roles out (think Pep G and Man Cittee ) OR they do not trust his authority. Either way we are back to the manager or coach debate. One (the coach) does the technical work, the other makes it work on the pitch with the players he has (inherited or bought). AN does not![/quote]There is another possibility, that they are just not the right instructions, irrespective of the players.[/quote]^This

  24. OldRobert
    Number 1 without a doubt.  This BOD are totally delusional.
  25. OldRobert
    [quote user="morty"][quote user="Cantiaci Canary"]Well, it is at the stage now where we are either: A) Genuinely aiming to get promoted this season ... in which case Neil will be finally fired next weekend if we lose (even Hughton got the boot in the end). B) Secretly embarking on a new road. Keep AN here for years whatever the short/medium term consequences. Rebuild around a clear philosophy and identity. It would be nice to know if we are on path B before the new season ticket prices are confirmed![/quote]Which one of those two options would you prefer?[/quote]I think the BOD are on Plan B, but they aren''t sure themselves.What would I prefer................it''s totally irrelevant as I have no say, she will do, what she will do.
