JayNCFC 14 Posted July 23, 2013 It was said at the time, a spot on post and to be fair, looked like the truth, as OP has pointed out though, things have changed dramatically. The point referring to a new CEO and letting them choose the manager - so very true and important.McNally came in and as they say, the rest is history.

lappinitup 629 Posted July 23, 2013 The binners clearly enjoyed posting on this site back then. I can''t imagine what put them off. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warren Hill 0 Posted July 23, 2013 Yet if we post anything about them on our site it gets deleted? As their club slowly dies it would be nice to be allowed to pickover the carcass. Seemingly they were allowed to pass comment on our apparent demise..ON OUR SITE.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,229 Posted July 23, 2013 To be fair, before the appointment of McNally I would say he was calling everything NCFC spot on....shame he couldn''t look at Ipswich with the same degree of analysis instead of through some seriously blue tinted glasses!

nutty nigel 7,506 Posted July 23, 2013 It''s too simple to say "before the appointment of McNally". The much derided appointment of Bob The Grocer ended at Cardiff with a play-off final defeat on pens. Then the much derided appointment of Doncaster saw promotion to the PL within 2 years. Ok, then it went pear shaped, but during that period those "ambitious and money laden" binners have achieved diddly-squat. And yes.. why were the binners allowed on our site to rub it in back then yet it seems us revelling in their demise is not welcome on here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 24, 2013 It was a well-thought out post by the binner. It was also, with hindsight, a good example of schadenfreude. Personally I was never convinced by Roy Keane as a manager and couldn''t see why they were quite so pleased with themselves getting him. It is good to see that a couple of City fans were able to forecast that he was quite capable of wasting a large transfer budget for them, and so it turned out. Maybe the lesson is not to get too self-satisfied. It also is a reminder of just how hard it is to put together a successful formula in football. Ipswich and Notts Forest are two good examples of reasonably big championship clubs where owners have invested quite a lot of money, and made well-thought of managerial appointments, with absolutely zero return so far. Which puts PL''s achievement in getting us straight through the Champ to the Prem into context. Thinks are reversed for now. I for one am enjoying it while it lasts. But if you look at how teams like Villa, Newcastle etc flirted with relegation last season, never mind the moment when Wigan got uncomfortably close to us, you have to remember Prem status is not to be taken for granted.

But now any mention of the binners on here results in the threads being moved from the main forum. My question is why the double standards? Double standards that seem sympathetic to our rivals!
