Cluck

[quote user="1st Wizard"][quote user="cityangel"] Sorry but I agree with Tim, several posters on here have been posting strong anti board posts for the past month and although I appreciate that its difficult for those living out of Norfolk and those who arent shareholders to attend I believe that there are plenty of shareholders on this site who could have gone and spoken. The only people who spoke on the microphone and challenged the board in my opinion were a Beverley ( 1st question), Keith Roads and Peter Wolsey. A few  people shouted a few comments oHt but without a microphone they couldnt be heard. Always seems to me that people are brave on their pc''s but when it comes to AGM''s or fans forums ( open to everyone) where they have a chance to question the board they go missing and have to stay in to wash their hair.     [/quote] Unlike you no doubt, I, and thousands of others like me, have other and more demanding calls on our money, so climb down off your bloody high horse Angel, and engage your brain before running down some fans, when you have no idea whatsoever of their incomes and expenditures. Thats disgraceful behaviour and you should know better.[:@] [/quote] Well said Wiz....and this sums up the arrogance bred by the "select" season ticket/shareholder type Smith has so cynically created. The casuals...whether they be pensioners...the low paid...the disabled or simply youngsters from less well of backgrounds have been the life blood of this club for many years...so ignore them at your peril. Before too long the upstarts who are currently claiming the moral high ground at NCFC will be left in the lurch by their celebrity icon....at which point they will need those they currently look down their noses at. I''m afraid CA has shown her true colours far too often....and she sums up much that is wrong with the mentality at CR in 2007.

[quote user="Master Of Puppets"]On behalf of true Canary fans, I wish Jim Duffy all the best tomorrow.  Lets get 3 points and get climbing that table![/quote] Twit......

[quote user="Master Of Puppets"]Why does Darren Huckerby persist on coming out in the press and spouting his mouth off?  He plays for Norwich City.  We are a club who has always sold it''s best players, much like any club of our size.  Deal with it, and stop slagging your team mates off.  No wonder there is a lack of team spirit at the moment.  Why can''t he concentrate on running into dead ends, unconvincing dives in the box and flattering to deceive, rather than constantly whining that his poker buddies have left the club.  He is under the impression that his comments count for something, that he''s bigger than the club.  Well they''re not and he definately isn''t.  And to say that we are "not the biggest payers".  That tells you something about the so-called "fans favourite".  Or is he just a bit jealous that no-body has made an offer for him........[/quote] Oh how quickly they forget...... Without Huckerby in recent times you''d be worrying about your trip to Southend or Yeovil tomorrow. We all grow older...and that''s the only crime you can throw at him. Maybe you just don''t like hearing the facts as an "insider" sees them?

[quote user="Libbra Lives"]Sorry, but anyone who leaves their team because they are fed up with them when the team are underperforming IS A FAIRWEATHER SUPPORTER.  That much is categorical.  I may not be able to get to every game as I live in London - but I certainly dont go on Norwich message boards inviting fans to go and support non-league teams instead of going to the Norwich game.  You can take your banana and stick it in your cakehole blahblahblah.[/quote] Ooooooooh...you live in LONDON....... Say no more!

3-0 Bristol I''m afraid....... It''s all pretty unimportant what happens results wise from here on in I''m afraid....as a handful of points aren''t the answer to solving our predicament. The bigger picture states that win or lose we are in a complete mess...and we may as well be 20th as 7th. come May. Maybe relegation will even be our salvation. I''m already looking over to the next valley to see where it takes us.  

[quote user="Arthur Whittle"][quote user="muttley2"] I would be happy to be an IDIOT and put money into the club and buy then out if i had their wealth,i would never give it a second thought, and it would be for the right reasons my passion and love for NCFC.I am not saying that they dont share the same feelings but their feelings seem to come across as telling us what we want to hear.I think last night(the feeling i am getting after reading all the reports)they were all on edge and  that idiot commet might haunt her like that other famous one.Now lets get ready for saturday and get out there an show everyone we are all in this together for the sake of our club.   GREEN AND YELLOW IN MY VAINS. [/quote] Agreed. if i had the sort of money they had,i wouldnt think twice about helping out. The Turner thing baffles me most. A 2mil loan?? Come on. They give it the big one about passionate support but its hardly breaking the bank,in fact its alot less than most people buying a season ticket! Yet anougher back to the wall comment from St Delia. They are hardly the great saviours of our club are they?? [/quote] They may be friends with DS....but they didn''t get where they are today by throwing good money after bad. Only an utter fool would put money into NCFC as it stands...so I fear matters will just get worse before they get better. The club won''t disappear whatever happens over the next year or two....and there will be plenty of us still around long after Smith and Co. have departed to put it back together again. Give it time for the fans to start drifting away and DS will finally understand she has lost it. It''s the Tony Blair syndrome all over again....but we must hope there isn''t a Gordon Brown waiting in the wings to finish us off!

[quote user="Goalden Canary"][quote user="NEIL CLUCKCASTER"][quote user="Goalden Canary"] What classes a Newbie. The date they joined, or the amount of posts? Just Asking? [/quote] I think Newbie Johnnies are illegal in Ireland anyway aren''t they?.....open ended or otherwise? [/quote] They sneak them into the country in Man U Jerseys, and the Sun newspaper. Only in Tropical Flavour, and your sister likes that flavour. [;)] [/quote] SWINE!......but...you obviously haven''t discovered that she''s actually a man have you? Now who''s laughing ay sunshine?.......    [;)]

Well done all of those who spoke out....Much obliged. Even when sitting in the big chair dealing with something as unemotional as a paint production business it can get nerve wracking....so 10/10 for not allowing yourselves to be intimidated when the core matter was so close to your heart. A point was made...and they now know it thanks to you! Shame there are certain smart arses still out looking to score points off those who tried for the good of the club....but maybe this reflects their own egotism and lack of worldliness in thinking anything concrete could come from such a meeting. It will have been carefully staged and managed....with no doubt even the seating arrangements pre-planned. The cat is out of the bag....and all we have to do now is wait..........

[quote user="ob1"][quote user="The Judge"] Delia stating her and MWJ would sell shares to someone who was prepared to put money "into the football like we have done". Sorry Delia this is where you have gone wrong - you haven''t put money into Football you have put your money into off-field activities, Catering, Strikers etc i.e. businesses which you have a direct interest in, because you can make make money from them. To say what she did is totally misleading. [/quote] Thats unfair -the money the club has invested, stays with the club. Delia''s restaurant earns 1/2 a million for the club - not her. She could''ve started that place for herself with her own money, and be pocketing those profits herself, but she didn''t. What you''ve said is not just misleading but totally false. [/quote] So when DS clears off and Mrs.Wobblebottom ([;)]) takes over the catering side......Delia''s restaurant "goodwill" remains? Utter nonsense I''m afraid......

Much to Smith''s annoyance the cat is well and truly out of the bag regarding her game plan....and she knows she can never put it back. It''s purely a question of time now....

[quote user="broadie"] Why don''t you leave him alone? At least let him try and do the best for us while he''s here. Is it that you don''t want us to do well? Only happy when you''re moaning. [/quote] Mmmmmm....been there done that. Rioch...Megson...Hamilton...Worthington...Grant...now Duffy. I guess you''d also like us to give him time and allow him build his own team I suppose? Nah.........  

Well done guys...and knowing how such events are carefully staged it sounds as if you did the rest of us proud. It''s never easy and while this is just the beginning....the many replies indicate that all sides are starting to come together at last.  While we can''t force them out...we can at least make them feel very uncomfortable.

[quote user="Goalden Canary"] What classes a Newbie. The date they joined, or the amount of posts? Just Asking? [/quote] I think Newbie Johnnies are illegal in Ireland anyway aren''t they?.....open ended or otherwise?

[quote user="Tim Dawson"]Well from reading this board the last few days the AGM was going to be a stormy affair with Delia and Michael going to be given a rough ride, well it would seem you can all say your piece on here but when it came to it bottled it on the night, just like to say really well done !![/quote] Don''t expect other people to fight your own battles if you want to avoid being disappointed. An AGM is for shareholders only....and therefore any unrest in the room is more demonstrative than effective. Without an overall consensus any dissent shown can only reflect dissatisfaction....so the few with courage who made a point on our behalf deserve credit... Are you speaking from personal experience of a heavily "weighted" AGM....or are you simply frustrated like the rest of us?

[quote user="blahblahblah"] [quote user="Cluck"]I detect despair.........[/quote] Only the same despair any Norwich fan feels at the moment, 22nd in the league, new manager required again, rather worryingly it''s becoming the usual.  I think you read me wrong, but I would say that. I think that the most interesting people that post here are the likes of Mr Carrow and Mystic Megson.  Cheerleaders, extreme pessimists and angry old men like Wiz and yourself only have a limited purpose.  If you''re going to challenge people who do the job then you need to find the right questions to ask.  Mr Carrow and Mystic Megson ask the right kind of questions, but without a counter-point, a devils'' advocate to challenge their opinions, they would quickly slide off page one, and wouldn''t need to re-think.  This is where people like myself and nutty nigel come in.  I believe that to a very limited extent, it is possible that message boards like this can push agendas into the media that can get back to the club, but it''s much like putting a message in a bottle.  The more waves of us and them, sheep and realists, extreme pessimism and extreme optimism (and I am as guilty of this as anyone) there are, the easier it is for the bottles to get lost.  Good to see that you''ve started to raise your game recently though, when I''m not attempting to have a laugh, I sometimes try to do the same. [/quote] Cluck even got on my tits....but it brought unspoken truths out into the light and served it''s purpose. It''s odd that many of the forum heavyweights saw through it...yet you didn''t. He''s been retired now anyway....so you''ll just have to take it out on his brother Neil from now on....however I believe he too can be a little bit cutting if he gets rattled..........

[:)] Cluck is no more.....and was only around in an effort to expose what the Board and their cronies were doing to this once proud club. I feel there is a genuine consensus developing amongst us now that something is seriously wrong at NCFC...and that there is a desperate need for a change. Therefore he is no longer relevant. Neil by the way is Clucks older brother who bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain NCFC employee...and will probably make about as much sense. Did anyone really think I could be such a total pompous arse in real life? 

M@®TíN....I am looking for a new secretary, would you be willing to provide a reference for her ? Unfortunately she has developed a puncture and would be somewhat of a let down.....however if you''re desperate I think she could still manage shorthand........    

[quote user="baldyboy"]Will archant be reporting the facts of tonights AGM or will they be given a press release from the club as to what to say? would be interested to know thats all.[/quote] Of course they will.....I saw the transcript this morning.....

[quote user="ByeByeBoard"] Remember to put little a.k.a. badges on your lapels or frocks, although Cluck may run out of space.[<:o)] Funny how these things work but I just remembered now that my little boyhood budgie had a little i.d. ring on one of his little legs. [:)] OTBC     [/quote] Ahhhhh yes....I ate my budgie. Happy days indeed.

[quote user="Cluck"]Yep. He''ll fluke a couple of wins because of the "new manager" syndrome and then he''ll be a serious candidate if not our new manager.[/quote] Is there an echo is here?       [:)]

[quote user="blahblahblah"][quote]We all suffer from "fat finger syndrome" from time to time....[/quote] Well why don''t you shake your "fat head syndrome" in the free bet this weekend thread.  Who knows, you might get a prediction right at the 5th attempt [:)] [/quote] Feeling a tad touchy incase your "Fallen Madonna With The Big Booboos" might get some flack tonight Blub?....... I detect despair.........        [;)]

[quote user="1st Wizard"] Lol Cluck.[:D] It''s a pity that threads with zero or 3 or less replies are pushing off the main board, threads which are running into 3 pages or more. And in general, its the sudden influx of new members on here which are causing it, many new threads started, could have been avoided by just answering excisting threads anyway!. This practice is ruining good debate and arguements on here, cannot the web team ''pin'' certain interesting threads or something?. Good idea''s vanish quicker than they appear at times![N] [/quote] Do you share the suspicion that some of the "usual suspects" may have discarded their previous wooly clothes out of shame? Not for one minute would I believe they would do such a thing of course....... [;)]  

Welcome home lads, B Company Royal Anglian"]know his isnt norwich relatd but it cheered me up no end and it is norfolk related as you may well know from reading the edp well this applies double to me, most of my friends have come home safe, i of course talk about my regiment, welcome home lads, this is the only bit of really good news that archant have reported over the last 6 months,    I''m only too proud to contribute to this thread. Desperately sad to have lost those who didn''t make it back and recognise those who got injured in the course of their duty. It puts what is happening to a commercially operated football club totally into perspective. PLUS... these guys truly represent an area we all hold so dear........

Being given "two games" actually coverts to a "two year rolling contract" in Dongcaster-speak..... Also...remember the fateful "honeymoon period" aspect.  Two wins would save his arse....but wouldn''t mean a thing regarding the bigger picture. He is relegation fodder.....and probably cheap and cheerful because of that very fact.

[quote user="1st Wizard"][quote user="1st Wizard"] Try answering a few of the excisting threads on here, instead of creating your own new subjects, tghus drivingt good subjects of the boards. Interesting debates have all but stopped on here because of these 10 post Johnies. Behave!. [/quote] Memo to myself: Check spelling before posting!.[;)] [/quote] It''s not the words...but their meaning that matters Wiz..... We all suffer from "fat finger syndrome" from time to time..............[:)]
