Being Jan Kristiansen...

Andy - No one on this board cares about where we are in relation to West Ham. At the moment you are better than us. A couple of years ago we were better than you. All constructive comments about NCFC are very welcome but if you want a verbal scrap I am sure there some Millwall or Spurs fans who care about West Hams footballing status?   ps, My question would be '' Which managers do you admire and why?'' and ''Why do you think Aidy Boothroyd was so successful at turning around a useless championship team into a very good one?'' - If they knew the answer to the second question give them a jod! Malkey for manager....    

....then she should go shopping herself. It is not as if she doesnt know how useless her husband is at shopping. But she would rather sit on her behind and watch ''Wife Swap'' on telly because she happy enough getting her monthly allowance from her husband.... (this is a fun game)  

[quote user="andy laz"]Im a worthy outer and  ive met the man several times and has been a totally nice bloke when ive spoke to him so i can say now i dont hate him . But what riles me and many others is for him to blatantly ignore the  obvious and try and bull s**t his way out of it  and for him to say also  he doesnt feel under preesure , then he is a liar as well . I think deep down he really does wants to leave the club but he is too stubborn to do so, by staying he is  driving  a wedge between the fans and delia and if he is as friendly with her and micheal as we hear then surely  the friendship should come before keeping his job OTBC [/quote]   I don’t mind his explanations for our recent underachievement. He gets asked questions and part of his job is to answer them in a positive manner. The 5 - 1 Barnsley result being a false reflection of our team is the funniest excuse iv ever heard from him. Though his right about us getting carried away after that result. We should have remembered the 1 and half seasons of slow decline before then.  Anyway, I digress. I have no problem with Worthy at all because it is not his responsibility to sack himself. The man has a mortgage to pay. The board have taken a step in making his position untenable but they need to have the guts to go through with it and change the management of the club (I include Doncaster in this who has to take some of the blame for our awful transfer activity and lack of business acumen when we were in the Premiership).  

Most supporters recognise his PAST achievements but have also recognised these were a long time ago and that we need a change. A change that would benefit him as well. He has taken us forward from the terrible position we were in under Hamilton but he can not take us further. I personally believe his managemnet ability and motivation level is at mid Championship level. That is fine for some teams but I want more from Norwich.  

I have mixed emotions about this. Worthys position is now untenable, which is a good thing. But this is not the way to do it though. Firstly he should have been released at the end of last season when it was obvious he could no longer take us forward. Secondly, why issue this statement instead of relieving him of his duties. Having Worthy hanging round the place now will not help moral. Thirdly a lot in life is down to timing. With two other big clubs looking for a manager at the moment are we going to be able to get our first choice?  

Hello Canadian Yellow, Ticket info can be found on the official site. www.canaries.co.uk I wish I knew the answer to your second question. Why can 11 random individuals have such an affect on my mood? The problem is they do and like a crack whore I cant get enough of it, never mind think of quitting supporting NCFC. Ever since my dad took me when I was 7 I have been hooked. When I have kids i will make sure that I pass on the same affliction... Where in Canada do you live and why do you support the greatest team the world has ever seen... (ie Norwich)? Will this be your first game? If it is make sure you watch us at home. We are worse than Celine Dion covering a Bryan Adams track away from home.  

Nothing wrong with a little bit of hatred to spice up a match.... as long the aggression is kept verbal and on the terraces. I will always have a problem with Everton as they stole Mike Walker from us and fielded an understrength team against Cov in 85 which lead to our relegation that year.

[quote user="mystic megson"] [quote user="Being Jan Kristiansen..."]And replace with who?......... Any Russian billionaires out there fancy moving to the Norfolk Broads?[/quote] And replace with . . . a consortium who realise that an ambitious and successful football club is one of the city''s key selling points which will attract investment to the area and invigorate the business community. [/quote]   Maybe the consortium will consist of Lord Lucan, Father Christmas and Bernard Manning. Delia is a fan with cash. She helped us out when we were in trouble. The borad made some mistakes when we were in the Premiership but dont forget that they took brave decisions to ensure we got there in the first place. The main criticism I would have of her is that she is too loyal to those she employs. Remember that Hamilton only left because the fans forced him too. Apart from that she has been an excellent person for our club. When I look at teams like Newcastle, who are run by people only interested in ripping off the fans and making as much money for themselves as possible I am glad we are lead by a fan who has NCFC in their hearts. I think that if someone wanted to invest in the club who could do a better job then she would step aside, being that her first motivation is doing what is best for the club.

And replace with who?......... Any Russian billionaires out there fancy moving to the Norfolk Broads?

How about ''McKenzies Shrink''?

Earnie is at the Huckaby level. To good for the Championship but not good enough for the Premiership. I am glad we have got him though and he is still young so plenty of time to improve.

Saw him play for the Scum against Palace and he looked very good. Nice touch, puts himself about, good goal scoring record. At £100k I would take a risk on him.

 I have been invited to a mates wedding on Saturday. Very nice bloke. Only blot on his personality is that he supports Ipswich. He has chosen to hold his reception at Portman Road. I cant let this opportunity go by to help the Scum into administration. What should I do though? I was thinking about going round the whole stadium, turning on all the lights ect so they run up a huge utility bill... Any other ideas????

Should we have bid 1.2 million for Howard??? Does anyone remember a few seasons ago when we missed out on David Collany (sp), Ian Moore, Gareth Taylor, Neil Shipperly in the close season? What happened next???? We signed Hux and Crouch on loan. The rest is NCFC history..... Its better to get the right player at the right price. We will spend the cash for the right player, as the signing of Earnie proved.

Left to my own devices I would have probably ended up supporting Liverpool or Spurs as they were the big teams in my school. I dont think anything could beat the pleasure of watching us storm the 1st Division with Huxs in full flight.... happy days.

I, Being Jan Kristiansen, pledge not to Worthy bash, Hughes taunt, negatively talk about Norwich City or make any conclusions on the season until we have played at least 6 games.   While I believe Worthington has stayed with us a season too long and that certain players are not good enough to wear the shirt I want to be proved wrong. The most important thing is that I get behind the team, the players and the manager to try and help them get us back into the Premier League.   Success has no chance of happening if us fans start off the season in the same mood and tone that we ended it in.      Are you with me or against me?

Hasnt he played 40 odd times for City and scored 1 goal. Me thinks he is not that good. Just another excuse to bash Worthy. Am I the only one who is getting bored of this? And I am a Worthy out man.

Can someone please remind me how you win in football....... oh yes, you have to score more goals than your opponent. Sounds likethis Earnshaw chap might have his uses then!!!!

Just checked out the goal scoring stats and he has scored 7 goals in 14 games for us. If we can keep Earnshaw and get a decent partner for him and creative central midfielder next season I reckon we will have a chance of going up. Is it a coincidence that the improvement in form happened when he came?

What is a Hall of Fame? Why have we got one? Load of american rubbish if you ask me.

I have a feeling that the club does not seriously beleive it can/wants to sign Jerome. Its just a load of smoke and mirrors for that fans If you look back to when we signed Ashton the club was very professional about the whole process. There were a couple of rumours flying round the message boards but the club was tight lipped. There was not much in the press. This time there is loads in the press. Is this to calm the fans down? Did we offer a low sum knowing it would be turned down? With under a week left before the end of the transfer window are we going to sign anybody?

1) Buy an equivalent classy forward with the money. 2} Buy 2 or 3 players in different positions to increase compition in the squad. 3) Pay Worthy off and compensate a club for a decent manager. 4) Pay off a good chunk of our debt. I would go for option 3. Worthy, we salute you for the plenty that you have achieved with Norwich but for the past year and half Norwich have only played well in patches (and appalingly quiet a few times). I would not be happy giving him the money to spend.

It''s a shame that the board and worthy are not adopting the sensible attitude that Crystal Palace are over AJ. Keeping Ashton means we have a good chance of promotion (despite of Worthy). Selling Ashton ends our season as it sends a message out about our lack of ambition. I have the same sad feeling that I had when we sold Sutton to Blackburn :-( http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/crystal_palace/4590576.stm

Rieg,   Its not about blame. Its about the best future for our club. I think that after 5 years Worthy should move on and a new guy should be brought in. The team has been poor for 6 months now. These are his players and his team. When should he go then? At the beginining of the season I said that if he didnt get us into the play offs the club would be taking a big step backwards. I stand by this view.
