Sing, Sing, wherever you may be...

Hi Nutty. Good post mate, keep it up. Hope the familys well.

Hello all, hope you are all well. Just a quick word after reading the board for the last 24 or so hours. Just wanted to know where the NCISA stand in all this. All the best. Lee

[quote user="Old Shuck"] I have to say that, after all this time, after all the spin, after all the quotes about "getting it right" and "we are taking our time" bla bla bla, they (the Board) really do have to pull a rabbit out of a hat this time. If the new Manager is as underwhelming an appointment as I think it is going to be, an appointment following nearly three weeks of waiting, three weeks of quotes about "high calibre" candidates and names that would "surprise us", then surely we HAVE to let our feelings be known? Count me in if that is the case. I have defended the status quo on a "better the devil you know" basis, but, at the moment, quite frankly, I''d prefer a new devil, known or not. [/quote] Well thought out constructive post Shuck mate, agree with you completely.

[quote user="blahblahblah"]Hello Lee, long time no speak.  I thought you had moved to Welsh Wales, where they don''t have the internet, and that was why you couldn''t keep in touch.  Have they really got a cable as far as Snowdon now ?  That''s the modern world for you.  I hope Arthur''s well, and that he enjoys the Ipswich game.  Do say hello for me, as he doesn''t appear to be about at the moment.  Strange that, you two never being in the same place at the same time... [/quote] I do live in wales, i also still have a house in Norwich. You are clearly trying to suggest me and Arthur are 1. I could make the same suggestion about you but that would lower me to your level. Strange you and Neil Doncaster are never about at the same time? Nutty-Yes i am a happy grandad now my friend, i return to norwich at least every other week to see the little un.

Look in the mirror.   I bet no one on this site (including you) can say that they havent read posts that annoy them.  Yours annoyed me, its not the content (most of which I support and agree with) its the ''I told you so'' manner of the delivery that I didn''t like.  And you cant say that you werent looking for a reaction or debate with that post because otherwise there would be no point in posting it in the first place.  Or did you just want everyone to agree with you to give your ego a boost. [/quote] Sorry to dissapoint you but you wont get any further reaction from me. I find it childish that you want to turn this into a post of " i told you so " so untill you can find something constructive to post there is no point in talking to people like you. Nutty Nigel-Hope the familys well old friend.

The Robert Chase thing is relevant when you consider people are saying we have short memorys as Delia took us to the premiership. Prudence with ambition does not work. Look who invested last season-Derby, Birmingham and Sunderland, and guess who went up? As for your play off preiction i look forward to being proved wrong. James. [/quote] I agree that this board are failing the fans, in fact I couldnt agree more.  Yes Lee Oliver is spot on correct, what I dont appreciate is the ''I told you so'' style posts. I dont think the whole Chase thing is relevant anymore that was 10 years ago and football has moved on considerably. Agree that prudence with ambition doesnt work and massive investment is now required.  We need to raise funds either through new investors (unlikely) or by refinancing the debt we have.  We have the potential to also do a Derby or a Sunderland after all the anfastructure is there, no I am not talking restaurants I am talking fan base, stadium capacity, training facility etc. Our future hinges right now on the choice of manager and transfer budget available to him.  That scares the crap out of me because I just dont trust the board/Doncaster to get the right man.  Our future has never looked so bleak.

Delia''s Devonshire Dirtbox-how you get away with that name is only for the web team to answer. If you have a medal  then yes! No, the point im trying to make is maybe if a few people backed me at the time of my trying to organise the protests theres a very very very very slim chance we could have nipped this issue in the bud.

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Lee Oliver"] We have had the same excuses of " if it wasnt for Delia we wouldnt be here " and "you cant be true supporters". Well sorry but Delia saving us was and is a myth and as for being true supporters, do true supporters just sit there and do nothing while the club they love rots away? [/quote] Nice to see you back posting Lee. It''s just a shame that you are trying to be divisive with the true supporters jibe. That''s the second time I have seen that since I got back from Burnley. So as  a true supporter please tell me what you have done to stop the club you love rotting away, apart from sitting on your hands and the time it took to write this post?   [/quote] Nice to hear from you again nutty hope you are well. Cant really say ive done a lot to be  honest apart from try to organise a protest when i saw this coming last year mate. Hope you are keeping well.

Last year you may remember that i made plans to demonstrate against the way the club was being run. Well now i hope you can see where i was coming from. We have had the same excuses of " if it wasnt for Delia we wouldnt be here " and "you cant be true supporters". Well sorry but Delia saving us was and is a myth and as for being true supporters, do true supporters just sit there and do nothing while the club they love rots away? So now we find our great club joint bottom of the league. Are you still happy with the current regime? Some of the crap the club has come out with is beyond me. One minute its all we dont have to sell players, then its all transfer funds will be made available, then loan players are too expensive, then we let a caretaker manager bring in John Hartson????? Can anyone truely say they still have faith in our board, and please dont give me the predictable yes because thats what supporters do routine. Cheers Lee Oliver    

[quote user="cityangel"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"][quote user="cityangel"] Arthur, As Gazza says I''m a season ticket holder and have been for well over 25 years, first got hooked when my Dad took me a couple of times and have been a passsionate supporter ever since. I went to most of the friendly games pre season and so far I''ve been to Hull and Manchester City  this season and my next trip will be the WBA game. May I ask what that tells you about me and please be nice[:D] CA   [/quote] Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in response. The truth is i did think you came into the game late mainly because of your very strong support for the board which could of suggested you not knowing any different and your love of all things Huxs. Anyway the only thing that doesnt sit well with me still is the fact that after following city passionatly since the early 80''s and thus seeing us reach the highest the club has ever been in the following decade, you still support a board who has now taken us down to the lowest point in your supporting years. How can this be CA? Regards. [/quote] Show me one post of mine where I have shown strong support of the board Arthur, dont think you''ll find any. I support the team, the players out there wearing the green and yellow, always have and always will. [/quote] Hate to start posting on this forum again after all that happened before but cant resist after city angels claim not to support the board. Dear City Angel, during the time i was contemplating organising a proper demonstration against the board, you were one of my biggest critics. Nice to be in touch again, regards to Arthur Whittle, and Mark Smith.

[quote user="Scooby"] Get real. How do you know the Liverpool fans forged their tickets, they probably bought them off touts not knowing they were forged.  I think you pay too much attention to the media, listen to the real fans perhaps you will get a true reflection on what happened. Liverpool fans are by far the BEST in the world. [/quote] That would be the same "best" fans in the world who got english teams banned from europe and cost norwich 3 uefa cup runs? The same "best" fans who mugged my friend and i on anfield road? The same "best" fans who have openly admitted to me, and i have witnessed at england games that they rob there way across europe when on forigen travels? Cant beat that scouse wit can you.

My old friend Arthur is a genuine fan, intelligent and very passionate about what he believes in. You never know Arthur, i may just pop in for a swift one to hear how you have structured the campaign. Its a very good idea wayne and truely the only friendly soloution to have a reasoned debate. All the best my good fellow Lee oliver

Cheers nutty nigel, all the best.
