Why waste your time replying then? -
I''m being deliberately provocative to balance out the negativity. -
So the moaners and doom mongers are entitled to their own opinions, but those of us that ''support'' the team are not. Glad we cleared that one up then. -
Classic example of the average level of intelligence by half the posters here. -
I know but I am SICK of the doom and gloom on here, it''s probably more depressing than our league position. -
No noise from the negative boys??? -
Now shut up you clueless, pessimistic morons and get behind your team. -
I hear what you''re saying - I am not implying we don''t have money problems; being £20Mn in debt we clearly do. I am merely saying we are not on the verge of Administration as soom doom mongers on here would have everyone believe.Annual Turnover is what? £8Mn? The debt is about £20M.My annual salary is £30k. My outstanding mortgage is £75k - does that mean I am about to go bankrupt? No.The same applies with the club. -
As a shareholder can I just say we are not anywhere near Administration and due to the structure of our finances, it is very unlikely that would happen.The debts are a combination of interest free loans by the Directors. The rest of the debt is a 20-year securitisation deal with AXA, on low interest and fixed monthly payments. The monthly payments are manageable and the arrangement is much like a mortgage.Clubs that go into Administration have short-term debts upon which the banks can make an immediate demand for repayment. This is what happened to use in the 90''s when we were forced to sell Jon Newsome and Ashley Ward.The difference with our debt compared to say Luton Town is that ours is like a mortgage, where as theirs was like a whopping credit card bill.Bell wanted to move for family reasons, he''s hardly featured for us and we got more for him than we actually paid out. 100% of that money goes straight back into the transfer kitty.End of. -
Not sure we needed another midfielder but any new faces are welcome. I assume that defenders and strikers are also lined up - as it would be madness to get a winger when we''re clearly lacking elsewhere.I gather a couple of strikers and centre half are on their way soon. -
I agree with you. The win against Barnsley was the vital one - that put a bit more daylight between us and the bottom three and must have done wonders for the players confidence. -
I''m a shareholder and I haven''t heard any such thing. Although being such a small shareholder, I don''t think I am entitled to hear anything.NCFC is a PLC and is listed on the Stock Exchange, albeit not the LSE. -
They have been holding auditions for some holiday camp such as Pontins at NCFC recently, the signs may relate to those.Previous interviews have indeed been held in London. -
Take it from me, Boothroyd is not even on the list of 5... -
I read the article too but thought he was leaning more toward Ian Crook with A N Other to give him Championship info because he''s been in Oz for so long.I always read Waghorn with interest, as a chum of Delia he is party to information before the rest of us mere mortals. He never discloses information outright, but if you disect what he says, you can get the facts by reading between the lines. Last time round, he said Roeder a good few days before the appointment - and I think it''s fair to say not many of us knew who the manager was going to be until he walked into the press conference...Interesting times ahead... -
Agree with everything here. Man City attempting to buy Kaka for £100M represents all that is wrong in the game. And bearing in mind all that has been said above, are Delia & Co really all that bad? -
Lol. You dont know how to spell his name though! Its Bryan not Brian! -
It''s called irony - classic case of ''if you don''t laugh, you''d cry''. -
...and when they do appoint someone, it will be Baldrick! -
Also on BBC and Waghorn''s sitehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7831932.stmhttp://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4456I suggest Waghorn is watched VERY carefully - he said Roeder days before he was announced last time round, and hinted at Worthy or Rioch yesterday. He is pals with Delia and knows more inside info than the other scribes. -
Share issues are only effective if there are people willing to buy them. We did it once before and didn''t sell all of the offered shares. -
Who''s renewing now?I''m in!!Prior to today, I was seriously thinking of chucking it all in after 15 years and only 3 missed games.I have renewed hope now... -
Here for all you Norfolk-exiles!http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_norfolk/ -
Marvellous....first caller - "I am disgusted by the Club''s treatment of Roeder"How out of touch is that!!!
