    “He may be a bastard, but he’s our bastard.”

    Just about sums up how I feel about him perfectly.

    Good compilation of what we know (or think we know). Even handed as well. we are certainly getting coverage at the moment. I like the fact that they noted that NC stopped being in the public eye when ridiculed about his plan to get back in the PL...he did it, didn't he?

    A good read, and unusually a nicely balanced piece. The only part that I wasn't keen on was NC's vote against the financial restraints - personally I'm a fan of them and I thought the aim was to have us running in a financially stable way so wouldn't have thought it would have effected us much. All I can think is that NC has a plan (he usually does!) that involves us splashing a bit more then we naturally would to bridge the gap to more established premier league clubs before becoming financially stable.
