The Judge 0 Posted June 25, 2009 I totally agree with this statement. If he had the money the set aside to do this then as a Director of NCFC he should be prepared to put this into the budget anyway.This is assuming this offer wasn''t over and above an amount he had already commited solely to the playing budget...

supercol 0 Posted June 25, 2009 What a pathetic post, wht should he commit more money out of his OWN pocket, when supporters clearly showed they are not preapred to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wembley_Canary 0 Posted June 25, 2009 I agree with you, this whole plea saga from Foulger has been a cock up from start to finish, infact i''m sure there are several fans out their who claimed their rebate out of spite after Foulgers guilt trip to fans. The board hasn''t got a clue, I only wish more fans claimed their rebate, but 2 3rds is still not a bad result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singing canary 0 Posted June 25, 2009 because its not the fans fault this club is in such a mess .the fans have had to put up with mistake after mistake by the board .why should it be the loyal fan has to pay for poor footballing decisions ?the board blundered several times they need to put it right its about time they listened to the fans to be honest foulger has the money otherwise he would not have made the promise. we are playing in the third tier of football besides i think the board owe it to the fans after the worst football showing this club has seen for fifty years .they are asking other people to put money into the club and we will match it .its blackmail and its wrong .

SNAP 0 Posted June 25, 2009 He will have it pretty much ring fenced with shares and guarantees anyway - so why not! After all he''s been part of the Muppet Team that has brought us here in the first place. Let''s see if he''s a bit more careful spending his own money.

Will go straight back to the club if Delia & Co sell up[/quote]I claimed mine. It is far easier to spend someone else''s money. However, I do think anyone who claimed a rebate for whatever reason has any moral right to comment on Foulger. It is grossly hypocritical to tell him to do what you were not willing or able to do yourself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowbeagle 0 Posted June 25, 2009 [quote user="llamaman"]Why should foulger fork out more money, when 66% of our supporters didn''t....don''t be a hypocrite[/quote]He should be taking the moral high ground here, where he now donates the full amount he was prepared to if every supporter had done what he asked. How is he going to ask for investment from other people and businesses if he doesnt look willing to do it himself, when he was obviously clearly had the funds to do so?

That does not mean he had "a million to spare" I very much doubt any prediction would have envisaged all supporters leaving their rebate unclaimed, 50% was probably a more realistic best case scenario.The sheer arrogance of people who had a chance to make a difference to our transfer budget but chose not to because of petty spite towards the (admittedly sub standard) board then lambasting Foulger for doing exactly what he pledged is astounding.You''ve got some front, you really have.
