That is interesting. It means perhaps that a large block of shares might come on to the market which in turn could encourage someone somewhere to consider making a bid for the club which in turn could change the future fortunes of the "Canaries". Frankly I am happy with the way Delia has managed things in her tenure but it would be nice to have some real glory days (like Chelsea and Man City) before I kicked the bucket!

I am not sure how they get the jobs. When I first watched Norwich they managed to play without any cards at all!

Others disappear too. I wonder why Delia never asks my opinion because I have some shares. Be nice if she held an extraordinary meeting prior to sackings so all shareholders could have a say. A sort of "referendum"!

I once heard a story that Delia goes to Walsingham to pray when the search for a new manager is near its end. Well that is OK by me provided she is praying for the right attributes. Number 1 is that she prays for a "Man manager". A person who can instill love and ambition into the members of the team which should be about 30 strong. Marilyn Monroe did that for some 300 million fans. so perhaps we could have a woman manager, a lady who has blonde hair, a perfect figure, good teeth and a sexy voice. Can you imagine that. A woman owner and a woman manager. together shouting "Get you finger out or no cake for tea!" Should get us to the top of the league quite quickly!

I don''t like the booing or the bad language. It shows a poor mind. Language has always been bad across some sports however. My wife tells stories of attending Rugby League with her father 70 years ago when he would say to other spectators " Now lads watch your language there are young girls here!" A problem at Norwich seems to be the casual supporter who has bought someones season ticket seat especially in the "Barclay". He seems to think he has bought the right to swear and boo with his ticket. Maybe a warning could be given with the ticket of the standards expected within the ground of the casual visitor. I remember a notice on the subject of swearing being handed out at a Perth Glory match in Western Australia to spectators in the "Shed" who were mainly English. Perth Glory at the time was owned by an Italian.

I have got my own from 10 - 20 years ago. Long lasting birds. It came to Wembley with me when we played Middlesboro and Cardiff when we played Birmingham.

Well there was as far as i was concerned. C.P. won and we lost! It is rubbish to say we were equally bad. We lost and they won! In the old days we passed the ball quickly and accurately. Now we hoof it up field to who? Even as recently as Grant Holt we passed the ball and he scored. Now we hoof it, there is no one there so one one scores. Small wonder Delia and MWJ look sour. Did you watch Vardy on Sunday. Run up the field and score a goal. Lots of players do that every Saturday afternoon on the Park,. If their back gets in the way run over him!!

The England Manager does not want us to forget that guy at Man United who was the England captain . Apart from the fact he used to play for Everton, and had a hair transplant can anyone remember remember who he is talking about?

Well believe it or not I am a "real" supporter. Been going to Carrow for 50 years. No one gave me a medal. I expect in 50 years time you may have given up too. Except for the Milk Cup and a trip to Italy Norwich has always been the same, Maybe it is the "air"!

even tho I have a season ticket. Don''t even watch MOTD. Its more fun to light the fire and go to sleep on the couch, I suppose I could write to Delia. She must be feeling pretty low. She does not have my options.

I believe there were not enough members at the Shareholders meeting  for the decisions reached to be carried out and there has to be another meeting.  What the auditor will say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, or has he already said.  Perhaps it does not matter.any longer So many of us are now getting near the magic age of 85 yrs .The Saturday afternoon joy of taking the Sevice lift to the top of the Barclaywith Philip will soon be over. Good man Philip.

That could have been the problem. The committee, whose numbers were restricted by the Association''s constitution only met once a month and the members of the Association only met once a year at the AGM of the Association. The Chairman and the Secretary were related at one time and perhaps had their own reasons for not wanting the size of the Committee to be expanded. There is also a problem in identifying who is a shareholder of the Club and his address without being able to check the Club''s records regularly. Shareholders often register nominees as the holders of their shares.

Well strangely enough the Association has not quite given up the ghost and there is to be one more meeting later this month when it can yet be saved. The Association wanted to have one of its members on the Board to represent the hundreds of shareholders who effectively have "no say" in the running of the Club unless they catch the eye of the Chairman at the AGM and even then their speaking time is usually very limited. The Association had a worthwhile annual income from its members and was completely self funding. however without a Board member it had to rely for its information on hearsay which it was often unable to publish, It has been a worth while and useful tool to restrict the freedom of the Majority shareholder and it is a shame that the various fans organisations seem to feel that they wanted to run without its cooperation and perhaps vice versa, Maybe it can be reborn with a committee well versed in Company, Contract and Employment Law which might take it back to its roots..

Another full house yesterday full of well behaved fans showing nothing but satisfaction. The Shareholders Association being swept under the carpet and told any future subscriptions will not be accepted. The players scoring goals. Two class goal keepers fit and well. Fans from all over the world parading their flags and a girl singing opera and being applauded at half time. No foreigners on the Board. A lovely little Club. We are well satisfied..... I think???

Yes of course we could and if you and I were the manager our team would play several types of football certainly be different if we were winning 3-1 to that if we were loosing 3-1. American football even plays with two teams one for attack and one for defense. If one manager cannot do both jobs let us have two managers. I was gutted to watch Norwich loose that game and any true supporter should be too.

Assuming that you are not a shareholder may I point out that it is not your club Lakeland Canary. As a PLC the first ambition of the club  should be to pay a dividend to the shareholders. Having reached that stage the next ambition  should be to pay the maximum dividend possible after making provision for growth. Growth should include quality assets both fixed and current. Fixed would include stands, catering facilities, toilets, parking, training and chainging complexs. Current assets would include contracts with quality players, trainers and administative staff. A Club this good would be on the level of  the Arsenal at least. I suppose at this point loyalty to the club would be stretched to breaking point as there would be a takeover bid and the shareholders would sell their shares ..........hmm!

I can remember "top of the pops" from the 40''s (Sugarbush, Hold me, Slow boat to China, Mule train, etc) but I was not in Norwich in those days. Does anyone remember the chants of that time and how they went? A virtually all standing ground must have shown some life.

the chant about "we hate Nottingham Forrest" about 30 years ago when the Barclay was all standing and can we start it up again?

I want to cheer and I would do just that on Saturday if he was introduced as our new manager. I want to see someone with a bit of steel and a bit of fire in his belly. I am fed up with two years of loosing and waiting for the good times. I don''t have faith in Delia any longer, nor her husband. She can do one more thing to redeem herself before retiring and that is give us a good manager who can lead us back to the promised land.[:D]

When I was a lad we used to have a saying about "thought". It went "Thought ran behind a muck cart ''cos he thought it was a wedding!" A "muck cart" was a brown lorry full of "tub" lavatories collected from the rear of terraced properties without bathrooms. The smell was dreadful. If you had any sense you would give us some reasons at to why we should beat West Ham and then the Board would not fall about laughing at you and your nonsense.  

Is it not as much McNalley''s job, as that of the Manager, to keep Norwich in the PL?

Try it and see what happens!

Be interesting to know which Norwich players have an "eight" in their birthdate before you all rubbish Mr Tan. I know that if you toss a coin one hundred times it comes down 50 heads and 50 tails (or as near as damit). Most of the universe works on numbers so why not a football team?

Well perhaps we all have to make cutbacks. These are difficult times. Maybe the club is being realistic and facing up to the drop at the end of the season brought about by poor player purchases and lack of management ability on the field. One has to remember that the financial guys at the club have planned for a drop in their budgets and said so at the AGM, I made a cutback this year by not renewing my membership of the Gunn Club. It was not just the membership cost but the price of the beer, the cake and the pot of tea. I also could not understand why the Club was closed during the game so preventing those of us who found the cold on the terraces just too much. On that point I watched the Man U game at my local pub instead of using my season ticket. It was warm, comfy, a very good pint and excelent company from Norwich supporters. I also had a turkey roll as good as anything I have ever had at the Club and cheaper too by far. On the subject of the game I personally feel that we could have won it if  Hooper had stayed on the pitch instead of bringing Rip van Twinkle on and if our goal keeper had stayed between his goal posts. But then what do I know about the game after watching the Canaries for 35 years and more.  

Morty I was cold and needed a pee. It was a dreadful game and got worse as the game progressed. I just knew that Norwich were going to loose and that the referee would prefer Fulhamover the lads. I wanted to go home at half-time but one does not do that if you are a Norwich fan. I am not going any more. Not have to face that unpleasent young man surveying season tickets at the entrance to the service lift standing with his legs apart barring the way who does not say "welcome", "good afternoon" or even "thank you", That will be a bonus. Miss seeing my son through, He helped me up the hill on the way back. Great guy!
