    Let''s hope she slurs her way through this one.

    Ignore the telly shots - everyone in the ground knew it was a pen, you can sometimes just tell by players'' reactions etc. Awful ref.

    LDC - you are making it very easy for people to take the pee out of you - in fact, you may well be a troll out for a laugh. But don''t tell real fans how they have to behave or accuse them of not being real fans because they can see the club they love rotting away in front of their eyes. Rather than being promotion contenders (which we would be if we were run and managed properly) we were under the cosh by the worst Ipswich team in history, who are bottom of the league, with a manager out of his depth and a 94 year old striker. Zero ambition is not something I will ever accept as a fan. We have Fake, Fake Klopp in charge, looking helpless on the touchline, Webber who got a bit lucky at Huddersfield under the impression that he can buy a load of average (if that) Germans and the same thing will happen at Norwich and owners who don''t care what the fans want, are happy to turn up, smoke fags and drink wine, entertain their luvvie friends, take a nice bit of money out of club (whilst cashing in on the Norwich connection on adverts) and pass it on the civil-servant young Tom who has no clue and no money.

    Top bloke, Norwich through and through. Thanks Russ.

    Is it just Me, or does anyone else feel that the players we have now, due to "newness" or the lack of home grown players, are not going to appreciate how special the derby is?
  7. Dicky
    How can anyone be happy with that. We had the wally with the brolly. How about the useless scrote in a coat?
  8. Dicky
    The owners are the main problem but Farke is also sh1t

    Does anyone else keep getting taken to some dodgy website about free iPhones?

    I would love to be proven wrong but today just demonstrates further how we have fallen as a club. Getting hammered by Leeds!! We used to take their best players. No more excuses. Changes needed urgently.

    2 cracking goals

    Dean Ashton just tweeted that he would hate to play in this team right now.

    Really really poor game. No direction, no quality, no entertainment. Surely a change of direction is needed?

    [quote user="Hoola Han Solo"]Can’t anybody say anything disparaging about the owners, without being hounded in packs by the Delia fans?[/quote] The Deliaistas are out in force.... Times change but some people don''t. It worked in the past, bound to work again (even though most other clubs of our level have progressive owners).

    [quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="Dicky"]Can you imagine the quality of what we will have next year.[/quote]Next season will bring about some changes of course, we will lose more of the big contracts off the books, maybe sell one or two and buy one or two in, but not the number of changes we have seen the last two close seasons. Our financial model will be more secure as a result of balancing the books, which will mean there will be no pressure to sell beyond what we want to sell. The good players that we have that stay next season - and most of them will - will be the springboard for another assault on the league (unless we get promoted) and we will be able to attract one or two quality young loanees because the club has such a good reputation for bringing on players - and we will be as healthy in the league as we are this season - and we do have a good squad which will prove itself this season as it settes down. We''ve only had three games and a lot of new players in - a whole new front line to start with. Frustrated we all are at the start we''ve had, but it will improve, so no need to throw everything away just because of a little temporary hardship.

    [quote user="nutty nigel"]Top stuff Dicky. Just to help me make up my mind could you tell me why you were happy and even actively defended the self funding model for over 20 years?[/quote] It wasn''t self funding - we had debts. We speculated a bit which largely paid off. We even had a little bit of new funding when Delia and Co came in, rather than taking money out of the club (owed or not) as has been the case recently according to McNally

    [quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Rock The Boat"]Were we not self-funded in the Premier League?[/quote]Obviously not.Although I can''t remember what funding we had. Perhaps the investors remained anonymous?[/quote] I''ll give it a few weeks and we''ll see if you''re still happy with the direction of the club then? Or January when we sell another top player (or 2) to keep the "self funding" model (aka no ambition model). I simply do not understand how anyone can be happy to see their club rot under the current ownership. I think the catalyst will be if we lose to that lot down the road and fans finally wake up to the fact that we are no longer a better team than them? The quality and the exciting players have largely been sold (whilst we are still getting parachute payments). Can you imagine the quality of what we will have next year.

    [quote user="ron obvious"]What Fuzzar & PC said. This year has been exceptional because we''re suffering from the hangover of buying ''quality'' players (on big wages) for the PL who turned out not to be. YC mentions clubs that have all been around the top 6 last season & Wigan, who were in the PL from 2005-13, & says we''re in a better position. When we get promoted - which we will, in the next couple of years - we need to approach the PL in a more intelligent manner, even if it makes relegation likely. We have to think long term (by definition of sustainability). To stay in the PL would be difficult & would definitely necessitate selling players regularly. But we should make ourselves attractive to rising talent; imagine bringing on a new Maddison every couple of years! And wouldn''t it make you proud, to have a good, honest, self-sustaining club like that? Competing with Russian oligarchs & stinking rich Chinese owners? It would me.[/quote] I''ll have some of what you''re on please....

    [quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Dicky"][quote user="hogesar"]I wondered when you''d mention Brighton''s win.[/quote] Oh did you? Did it not sadden you, even a little bit, to see what an owner with ambition (and money) has achieved with a "Norwich reject" manager. I desperately wanted Brighton to lose heavily, but then again, having spent £62 million in the summer (as opposed to our -£40million spent by our club) they will do well in certain games. Anyway, head back in the sand and God Bless Delia.[/quote]We will do well in certain games too. Evey club does. Didn''t Alex Neil win at Old Trafford?[/quote] He did - if my memory is right, that was before our lovely owners embarked on our self funding, no-ambition, keep it in the family policy. When we stood a chance of actually being in the Premier League.

    [quote user="JF"]At what point will people realise that these players have been signed for the purpose of Norwich City remaining in the Championship this season? This is not a team assembled for a promotion push. They will be good enough to avoid the drop into league 1 and continue our transition into a mid table championship team. That is the blue print of this so called project that the board has set the club upon. So no, he’s not a waste of a shirt, he will do the job he was bought in to do.[/quote] If that is so, can I have my season ticket money back? I foolishly thought i was paying to watch a Norwich team that wanted promotion.

    Seems to be a lot more discontent after Saturday''s loss but I am amazed that so many fans are still happy with the direction we are being taken. It was very hard to take seeing Madders shine for Leicester and then watch Brighton''s game against Man Utd. That should be US - or at least we should be aiming for this. It''s the hope that keeps us going. Wonder how the mood will change if we lose to Ipswich. Really hope it doesn''t happen but for the first time in years, I am not confident.

    [quote user="Making Plans"]M&S, House Of Fraser, Toys R Us, Maplin, Carpetright, Homebase, Mothercare, Tesco, Asda, Debenhams etc etc etc, have all found out to their considerable cost that if you don''t give the customer what they want, at a fair price, then you are only going to go in one direction.The highest ticket prices in the Champs, coupled with poor performances & results, can only lead to a gradual but steady decline in attendances, reduced finances, selling the family silver and employing cheap Managers & players.We are already skint, the Academy is being proped up with public money, we have already sold off nearly every player who was worth anything, we already have a budget Manager, who is out of his depth, and a squad full of no more than average Champioship players who are not going to produce the results that the majority of supporters expect.Don''t take the support we have at Norwich for granted.[/quote] Unfortunately, that is spot on. Hate what is being done to our club.

    [quote user="nutty nigel"]Yes the only judgement call I''ve seen is a negative one has been based on nepotism and shaking hands with fans and nothing to do with scrutiny if or when he is majority shareholder.[/quote] But he is not under any scrutiny as I see it? He inherits the shares and therefore the controlling interest in the club? Or am I missing something? Does anyone on here actually believe that he is the man to take our club forward btw? Genuine question.

    [quote user="norfolkngood"]Tom might be more ruthless than his Auntie you never know i know he has no wealth to speak of but he might be a totally different owner[/quote] Might be. Might not. So we are potentially in the hands of someone with no real wealth and potentially no real idea. It''s our football club we are talking about here, but unfortunately most fans seem to just accept the situation and as each month goes by, we fall further and further away from where I for one want my club to be. On another note - heard Farke described yesterday as a fake-fake Klopp.... Not sure it was meant as a compliment.
