And don't forget, Noone and Bennett could well be playing Championship football next season.
Murray warms the bench at Palarse ffs!

All the while we let players like Elliot Bennett ,Nooney ,murray go for peanuts we will never get promoted get used to the idea of the albion being a club with a real lack of ambition

Morose, that's what you are. Any other things you care to enumerate that will never happen? We all deserve enlightenment.

I heard the opposite. Tony said is he worth it. Gus said NO.

Definitely the other way round. Gus pretty much came out and said as much a few months later, when referring to the ridiculous separate pots for wages and transfers.

Lack of ambition? Jesus, our ambition used to be making it to the end of the season with a club still here to call our own.

Attention seeking, self-pitying drivel. I've said this before about your ramblings I think, the lack of respect you have for our Chairman is beyond reproach. We're not dealing with Bill Archer here mate... this bloke has put hundreds of millions of his own money in to safe guard this club's future 10,20,50,100 years from now and you're grizzling because we sold an average to good Championship striker who was going for free at the end of the year anyway and we might miss out on the playoffs by a whisker.

Shame on you.

The current squad that Gus put together on a shoe string budget is finished,lets see where we end up with the squad Oscar puts together with the peanuts available to him,if he decides to stay that is .

I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure but I believe this photo is c 1970 which would make it Mary

Looks like the cover of his first solo album? Funny how these things stick in your mind, i could be wrong though, it was a long time ago

Edit just googled it and it is indeed Mary, never even knew he had a daughter with that name.

To be fair the thread creator is bang on. When we allowed our players to go and sold up we stayed in the Championship. This past season we held firm against reported interest in Dunk, Knockaert and bids for Stephens and we are now Premier League.

To be fair the OP was a serial moaner, and it's probably not coincidental he's not been active* on NSC since 18-03-2016

* = apologies if he's dead.

Cool, well in this case his moan was well founded then, you know what they say about a broken clock being right twice a day.

To be fair, the second post is equally difficult to read in retrospect. Can safely say we don't want to be messing around in the championship playoffs just as Reading and Wednesday have found out.

The dynamic really changed with Chris Hughton coming in and David Burke exiting - plus the slight relaxation of FFP rules in the Championship which made the retention of players easier, backed up by Tony Bloom's vision, commitment and funding to stand firm.
