Getting Milan's millions in was going to be the miracle cure for the club and send it up the table. The irony is that they got relegated soon after. So, yes, we need to have eyes wide open as far as seeing PC as the Messiah. It ain't necessarily going to be the case that PC will arrive and the team will miraculously shoot up the league. It will take time for the changes at board level to have discernable effects on the pitch, although it would certainly be a great filip to have PC's millions available for the January transfer window. That aside I would probably be necessary to make changes at board level simply because, warranted or not, this present board have become identified among many fans as significantly contributing to our decline. There is a malaise about NCFC that has grown since our relegation from the Prem which only a change at board level can now cure. It is simply time for a change.    Report

If you look on the post entitled "perhaps it's time you lot listened to smudger" there is a guy on there called The Butler who has 300 posts claiming that negotiations are at an advanced stage for the sale of the club to a new benefactor. Put that with what this poster has said and I'd say there could be some truth in it, at the end of the day it has to happen sooner or later so this post isn't that unbelievable.

How dare you sir. In 15 yrs we have had 2 successful managers. Mike Walker and Nigel Worthington. Worthy was one game away from a successful 1st season back in the prem. And he was badly let down by his players that day, as were we (namely Francis). Yep it took us a long time to get going, but when we did we went on a great run and it was a hell of a ride and we nearly did it. Do u forget beating Man Utd and Newcastle tring to stay up? Do you forget Iwans goal at Cardiff and the 2 mins of heavenly bliss and total delirium we experienced in the playoff final after we scored? Do you forget 0-2 at portman road and then staying at the top of the league from Christmas til we won the championship? Nigel Worthington is far from worthelss you utter fool and how dare you and anyone tarnish his name. It was Worthys first job in charge of a big team and first time in the Prem. Of course he made a few mistakes, a few bad buys, but so did a hell of a lot of other post promotion managers, much more experienced managers. Of course he took us as far as he could and the time was right for both parties to move on. Thats football, it happens. It doesnt make Worthington and bad manager and should never tarnish what he achieved. He built a great team and gave us the joy of Hux for 5 glorious yrs. He gave me my favourite life moment with Iwans goal at Cardiff. He gave us 2-0 Man Utd, the Newcastle win, the Boro fightback. And for that ill always thank him. Worthy's a NCFC legend like Hucks, like Walker, like Brown and Peters and Keelan etc... so how dare you sir...    Report

Err... "what happened to Leicester"??? You mean bought by a rich, "driven" businessman who demands success? If PC takes over, or anyone else, I just wonder how long it will be before the whinging starts up again. Creating a successful football club is an art, not a science, and it's entirely likely that we will be no better on the field or higher up the table even with his millions behind us.

It's all the board's fault when we lose but it isn't to their credit is we win. Quite inconsistent. The problem is that we haven't won very often, in their 12 years at the club we have had 2 seasons where we have finished in the top six and that is nowhere near good enough. They have done plenty of good things off the pitch but have allowed the team to deteriorate to a level that has put our status at considerable risk. They should have seen the situation we now find ourselves in coming 2 or 3 years ago and tried to sell the club then but they seem to have hung on too long because they didn't want to sell at that time, that has been detrimental to the club imo. We have all known for some time that investment was needed and even now I think they are only selling because they have been forced into it by the Turners departure. I don't bare them any ill will but I don't think they deserve a heros send off when they go either. "They should have seen the situation we now find ourselves in coming 2 or 3 years ago". If they had the ability to read the future they should have won the lottery several times over and then money wouldn't be a problem. Get real! Nuff Said On the Ball City!    Report
