Unlucky Fried Kitten

As more figures emerge about this saga it would appear that Mr. Cullum has not really been terribly thorough about the details of his proposal. The way the EDP worded their headline this morning, I thought the deal was done and dusted. I''m glad I didn''t buy a copy on the strength of that! It''s looking very much as though it''s a case of same as you were - onwards and upwards, prudence with ambition. It''s a bit like seeing your winning numbers for the lottery appearing on the TV screen, only to discover the dog has eaten your "winning" ticket. DAMN and BLAST!!

[quote user="Unlucky Fried Kitten"] He speaks blithely of putting £20 million into the transfer kitty, and also not wishing to do that without taking control of the club. There is no mention of how much it would cost him in buying out the major shareholders, as well as providing the transfer funds. There''s no point in him taking over the club unless these substantial sums of money are available for the transfer budget alone. What would his total expenditure be? £40 million? [/quote] I wasn''t too far out - only £16 million as it happens!

Well, it is exactly as I suspected, Mr. Cullum hasn''t really put up, so perhaps he should shut up. Why he has brought this story into the public domain - goodness only knows. He was probably prepared to add £20 million to the transfer budget provided he could buy up Delia and Michael''s shares at a bargain price.

[quote user="newyorkcanary"]I''m not too sure I''d accuse other teams fans of being easily wound up. Just look at the last month here. How many wind-ups have we been subjected to, including one major one from Good News Gordon, who sent both us and it seems our club into a tizzy.[/quote] I''m sure I can accuse scummer fans of what ever I want to accuse them of. In fact, as they are our most hated rivals I wouldn''t expect a debate on that score, nor any sympathy for their cause. If I accused them of an unhealthy fondness of sheep, I would expect 100% support for that view on here. Unless of course some of you like to argue the toss about anything and everything, just because you think you know best.

Or real ales I have loved better still.

[quote user="C.T"]Are you a bit obsessed mate?[/quote] No. I''m a bit bored and the binners, when they appear on there, are easily wound up.

If anybody is feeling bored enough, why not visit this almost dead scummer forum and leave a few apposite observations. Funnily enough, of the first five topic threads at the top of the board, four were started by City fans. What a crappy little message board the Green ''Un is.

Does anybody have any idea how many City fans were at Wembley on that day? I was there, I hasten to add.

[quote user="bass is best"][quote user="Unlucky Fried Kitten"][quote user="bass is best"] Went to the canaries shop in the mall today, there selling flags and banners for £5!!! who ever has season tickets should get one for next season!!! the atmosphere would be great!!!  [/quote] Does your user name come from a love of Bass ale, mate? I used to love a pint of Bass on draught, but you seldom see it here in Norfolk these days. [/quote] no, i play bass guitar, and when it came to thinking of a user name i couldnt come up with anything else, lol [/quote] Thanks. I''m a little bit disappointed to hear that you''re not a fellow Bass ale lover. Still, the bass is a lovely instrument to play I should imagine.

[quote user="Mark Smith"]He''s presenting a digital photography event in Currys (I have no idea why) at Norwich tomorrow. I''d guess that''s why he''s in the area...[/quote] Thanks for clearing that up, Mark.

[quote user="C.T"] is baby bell a cheese? yes or no [/quote] I''ve never tried it but if it says cheese somewhere on the wrapper then the answer has to be YES.

No. I love cheese.

That''s a small fib actually. But I did see him emerging from Yellows with a rather attractive blonde lady, so I said to him: "Have you signed up for one more year, mate?" He smiled and replied: "Nah I''m done. I''ve retired, fellah." No idea what he was doing at Carrow Road as I didn''t wish to seem too nosy and so I didn''t ask.
