    When the clear intent of the guy is all about drawing attention to pulling kids out of poverty and steering them away from bad life choices, digging in to argue that the guy's a rampant racist when it's clearly not the case is just plain ridiculous. Like I  said, waste of space  single issue campaigners justifying their existence is the problem here; not Webber.

    I assume you include Kamara, Aarons et all who have publicly condemned the comments under your umbrella statement?

    This sort of stuff makes me feel deeply uncomfortable.

    Zoe is her own person. The constant need to hold her responsible for her husbands action is at best unfair and at worst misogynistic. 

    It would be a different case if Webber had parachuted in his wife with no relevant experience to a cushy job but she worked here before him and has an extensive career in football. The club should have been smarter about how they have structured the club and the oversight but that isn't her fault.

    Whether she is the right person for the job she holds is entirely unrelated to her husband's inability to keep his foot out of his mouth.

    I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it’s not how the world works. 

    Being married and having that connection puts the club under unnecessary scrutiny. And when Stuart Webber opens his mouth in public, that connection helps drag the club through the mud with him too. 

    It’s not a great situation and probably harsh on Zoe. But the club and Webbers knew all this, when they decided to get cozy. 


  3. I mean, people can defend it and look for all the positives they want, but ultimately, having any connections to Webber isn’t great PR, let alone having a director married to the prat.

    It’s always been my belief, Stuart’s influence, not matter how small, will always be present whilst Zoe is at the club.

    Nowhere else would this PR ****show happen!

    Because wording something awfully when trying to draw comparisons between young Black players vs situations he'd seen as part of his charity work helping those communities does not make someone racist.

    I generally believe actions mean more than words. And somebody can be accused of making a racist comment without necessarily being a racist.

    He does good things like charity work for the accolades. It’s a good move, given his character, which is undeniably classic narcissist.

    30 million each for Sargent and Sara , no chance.

    Not according to people closer than us. 

    Sargent will end up on at least 20 goals this season and missed nearly half of it. His goals per minute ratio is currently 1 every 91 minutes. It’s exceptional. Look at how effective he is when he players, ie our win ratio with and without him. Also exceptional. And he’s only 23.

    Name me another striker similar in style to Sargent? There aren’t any, he’ll be in high demand. £30 million is not far off.

    Sara is EPL bound for sure. His form recently has been exceptional and he’s a naturally gifted footballer. Finish the season at his current rate, and he’ll well have surpassed the goals and assists Emi produced in 20-21. Emi went for £33million… £30 million is also not far off for Sara.

    Before you discredit with ‘no chance’ do a bit of research and look at the tangibles. Both players are worth top money.

    I think you are going way over the top if you think those 4 are worth 100 million,  or is that with the club add ons . 

    Rowe 20 million… Sainz 15 million… Sara £30 million.. Sargent £30 million… just under, but we should be holding out for those sort of valuations, IMO.

    But certainly not with Norwich because as sure as night follows day, Delia will sell.

    In fact, Delia is desperate to be in the Championship again next season because it gives her the green light to rake in £95 million from selling Rowe, Sargent, Sara and Sainz.

    Can sadly see those players all leaving if we are still in the champs. But who’d have thought we’d have £100 million in value on 4 players a few months back..

    Best thing about this is all the binners I've seen getting excited not understanding these are Premier league charges not EFL ones.

    Again, may still help them next season. And maybe us.

    eh ?

    If Duss could simply sell him, then why the current indecision ? It appears they are dependent upon promotion to fund the deal.

    If it is as claimed, then it would be a simple short term loan to fund the deal. It would already be a 'done deal' so to speak.

    The claim also assumes that Tzolis, who wants to play for Duss, would happily accept then being moved to another club, at the moment unknown. A ridiculous suggestion.

    The new buying club will have his registration, but likely as, not his commitment - as seen with Rashica, Idah and Tzolis himself. You can also include Mumba, Buendia, Cantwell...

    And the idea that a club handling £100m plus in contracts/fees etc that involve innumerable clauses, payments and bonuses did not take this possibly into account, is just plain daft.

     

     

    It really isn’t.

    Interesting re. Carrow Works, if the land is available at a good price maybe it could be a goer. Yes, there are two (I think from Google) listed buildings on site but as with Everton's Bramley Moor site and the listed pump house that was retained, there is no reason why they could not be incorporated into a masterplan and provide some of the facilities required of a sporting venue.

    The American model that Attanasio is used to would potentially be happy with your comments on Anglia Square (local authority owned land etc.) - I just think it is too land locked for any sizeable stadium development to be achieved within what will be very tight cost constraints.

    Brentford managed to build on a postage stamp with significant physical constraints. Only 17,500 capacity mind, but it is doable. However, if Norwich were looking at a new stadium, it would have plenty more suitable locations.

    Don't you ****ing say 'we were all'. You said it you pompous c*nt, after all your bellyaching over Farke while you had very little to say when I was actually making the case for Farke while he was still here.

    That's literally me arguing what you were saying while he was still here. Where the f*k were you then?

    So you can live with me continuing to tell you to move on you utter ****.

    Calm down, bro 😎

    Or they get their own clubs promoted.  If that fits in with your narrative, of course.

    My narrative is McLean is a decent Championship player and not at the level required for the EPL. No surprise, he’s been part of a side that gets promoted from the Champs, being a decent player. I don’t get your point, sorry?

    Funny how Farke came in for McLean and not Nunez then. 

    Almost as if my view isn't controversial at all, mine is in line with those who actually know football, yours is with yourself.

    as for my apparent controversial view, it appears 90% of the fanbase has come around to my way of thinking.

    It's OK to be wrong mate, your points prediction in October has to be up there with the worst takes ever submitted on this forum but everyone's been kind enough to keep quiet on it.. 

    It was a very bold prediction. But we’ve been here before, haven’t we?! 

    Essentially I recognised the importance of the Sargent and Barnes fulcrum, and the more pertinent point overarching my prediction (which was extreme to get the point across), was that the wheels would fall off and it would be a catastrophic collapse in form. I was proved right, ultimately, and confirmed by your petulance ignoring me during the poor run. Fortunately for us, as Norwich fans, it wasn’t  as bad as my prediction. But take away the wins at Bristol City and Cardiff and it would’ve been.

    My judgement has been further enhanced by the form since the pair returned to fitness too. I could see how critical S&B were, most, including you couldn’t. But certainly do now.

    Anyway… hopefully that one’s done. But if anyone doesn’t want to continue being  ‘kind’ to me and call me out forever and more, feel free. Really childish mate 😂

    Anyway back on topic.

    “Funny how Farke came in for McLean and not Nunez.” 

    What are your trying to prove with that statement? Farke clearly came in for McLean because he rates him for the Championship and knows he very well having managed him for 3.5 season. Awful ‘evidence’ to prove your view McLean is a better player than Nunez. As a Championship side, we’re fortunate to have both though, aren’t we.

    Hes more than decent at Championship level which is why anyone who's actually played football at that level has him in our starting lineup. Current players, ex players, managers. The lot.

    You only have to note over the last 8 games the defence splitting passes putting the likes of Sainz and Sargent through (2 yesterday) whilst driving with the ball - something Nunez has shown an inability to do. McLean also players better long balls than Nunez.

    More than decent championship players usually get snapped up by EPL clubs…. And yet here he is. Which is a nice thing of course.

    I know you love Mclean, or rather the controversy of doing so, but ‘anyone’ who watches football can see Nunez is a more talented player.


  15. I think the issue with McLean is that he’s a bit of a Jack of all trades and master of none.

    He’s never made the step up to the EPL, and in all honestly is a player we should’ve outgrown  and replaced upon promotion. The fact he stayed and played, pretty much summed up the issue we had recruiting players. 

    None of the above is his fault of course, and he always continues to give his all. At Championship level, he’s decent. But even so, take Sara or Nunez away; and he doesn’t look half the player, even at this level.

  16. It’s going to be interesting if we play them. I think our key players in Sarge, Sara, Sainz and Rowe are pound 4 pound better than theirs, but their squad has far more quality in depth. 

    I still wouldn’t fancy us against them, especially over two legs, but I’m a pessimist!

    I think he stayed behind the ball pretty comfortably, it was actually not a great ball from Sainz though!

    Tbh.. between the pair of them they nearly messed it right up!! Sarge has previous in front of that goal too!

    Quite right.

    How dare I question someone seeing a person behind them glaring. Or some youngster feeling intimidated by an old person glaring at them. Perhaps it was just a frown. Mind you it could have got nasty with the old boy breaking out into 'tut tut'

     You should learn to recognise a wind up, and either join in or ignore rather than come across (yet again) as a pompous **** 🤣

     

     

    I get satire, just not when you attempt it 🤷‍♂️
