Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted February 3, 2017 Am I alone in noting that chaos at NCFC coincided with the arrival of a politician on the board? Seriously Ed came in and all jumped out.. coincidence or is he the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted February 3, 2017 No, unfortunately you''re probably not alone.But Ed Balls chairs board meetings, and likely has very, very little to do with the daily running of the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 3, 2017 There is no dividing line for when things started to go wrong (if that is what you think is happening). For some of you, everything the club does is a mistake and is always in the wrong. To coin a popular phrase on here, everything that happens which doesn''t give us instant success is just another stick to beat the club with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted February 3, 2017 I''m not sure how much Balls effects things, but I''m fairly certain the amount of stuff he continue to keep diong outside the club, be it Strictly, Loose Women etc., hasn''t exactly put the club as his main focus.Therefore - does he deserve the role? Is he partly to blame for our messy season and general club management?How much does a chairman actually affect the decision making in the club?I certainly felt more at home with McNally and Bowkett on board.

TIL 1010 4,737 Posted February 3, 2017 The suggestion that Balls has very little to do with the day to day running of the club makes me wonder why he received £90K if that is the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,289 Posted February 3, 2017 Ed''s doing a most excellent job.......Just let him get on with the task in hand. He certainly doesn''t need all these distractions and needs to remain steadfast to focus on the problems associated with multi-tasking the role of NCFC Chairman......He sez.............#"LET''S ALL DO THE CONGA! LET''S ALL DO THE CONGA! NA NA NA NAH HEY!.....NA NA NA NAH!....HEY! LET''S ALL DO THE CONGA LET''S ALL DO THE CONGA!"# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted February 3, 2017 Yes, it was wages for long hours he put in, doing work for the club.Is that what happens in business then, people pay bonuses back?I put it to you, that you are talking nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
