[quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="Neil Cluckcaster"][quote user="Geronimo"]
The fact is this Delia is frightened of losing the limelight she has at Norwich City.
If she were able to be a board member/ something in the fans eye and her Pie Shop then im sure she would be happy to hand the club over.
But she can see that if she lost her media spotlight then her books wouldn sell as well, she wouldnt get on TV again and people would forget her.
The thing is too that now its come out that she turned down numerous offers she looks bad, and now IF she sold she would look bad especially if the club were to thrive under Cullum.
I am not attending the friendlies but come the start of the new season if we dont get the results we need ill be joining in with the noise for her out.
As a supporter for as long as ive been watching football (wont say how long dont wanna give out my age) i have never heard about a club that has turned down a billionaire owner not to regret it.
Delia does not have the clubs interest as her priority, Delia is her priority, and as for people saying there arint many Delia haters read the flipping EDP and listen to the banter because beleive you me that there are at least a couple thousand Norfolk and Norwich devotees that dispise Delia Smith (and lets not forget Mr. Wyn- Jones).
Also has anyone noticed that Neil Doncaster seems to make rather a lot of excuses as to why Norwich can not spend more than 20 quid on a player?
That smug git earns a fair pay packet for telling the press that Norwich are in debt, well done mister state the obvious
As far as im concerned he does not in anyway help the club and should be sacked.
Rant over[/quote]In a nutshell! [Y]Being a big fish in a small pond appeals to those with Smith''s mentality...and the very thought of someone playing with her train set under her nose would be unbearable for her.
Classic "control freakery".....classic "dominant female psyche".....[/quote]Whenever I hear the word ''cluck'' I tend to think of a broody hen but this quote is defiately that of a strutting little cock! lol [:D]
[/quote]
A spade is a spade in my language lappy!.....
Females can indeed do many things better (or equally as well) as a male given the opportunity....but dominant feminist females have a whole new agenda which does not include equality.
Smith is both spoilt and prickly....and this why she will hold onto her cherished toy until it is eventually wrenched from her.
It will all end in tears...hopefully.

[quote user="Match Day Pie"]Where was it then?
All you moaners made a lot of noise about it after the Cullum circus.
Chicken out did you?
Oooh, bet you''ve really got the rage now we''ve lost a practice match.
Let''s see you outside the Colchester game then.
Not.

I suspect Smudger has much better things to do with his time than fight battles for those on here who are barely out of nappies and have to be in bed before 10 o''clock.
Learn the hard way like the rest of us....otherwise you''ll all stay as daft as you are now.....

Oh dear...it''s the usual suspects again claiming to be the "realists" by spouting yet more "optimistic" rhetoric based on pure hope rather than anything substantial.....
With the school holidays comes a load of house-bound kids scared of the dark outside and whose "football knowledge" is based largely on lonely little computer games (beginners level)...and a handful of live matches sat next to mummy and daddy...
One day...when Smith has buggered off...you''ve finally started sprouting whiskers and your feet touch the floor when you''re sitting on the bog...you may just understand what life is all about.......
Wiz and a few more others have seen all this nonsense before and know good from bad. No wonder Smith can continue to pack ''em in to watch a 5-1 humiliation and yet still have her circus act defended........
All very sad.

[quote user="Tony Harrison"][quote user="Neil Cluckcaster"]Why is there any surprise? Another lorry load of journeymen have come in to replace the lorry load that left...so it''s pretty much a "no-change" scenario.
To be fair it was only a friendly but the lack of cohesion stood out a mile against a Spurs side playing at a stroll. If our lot were out to impress (as they should have been) it doesn''t bode well.
Be afraid fantasists...be very afraid indeed.........
[/quote]
Of course there was a lack of cohesion. It was the first time they had played together. Defence was piss poor second half admittedly. Anyone who thinks WHoolahan is a mere journeyman probably wasn''t watching very carefully or doesn''t know a good footballer from his own arse.
[/quote]
Mmmm........on that note couldn''t the very same be said about Spurs? This sounds like yet another Chelsea cup debacle where every excuse is made in order not to accept the facts on show.
If Hoolahan impresses you so much...then I suggest you have been spending too much time studying your own arse rather than watching any "true quality" running around in a Norwich shirt..... Want a few names?

[quote user="xKevin82x"][quote user="dylanisabaddog"]What an awful performance. Thank God it was only a pre season friendly but it''s frightning to think we are only one match away from the start of the season.
I don''t think I have ever seen a Norwich team so lacking in pace, skill, ideas or invention going forward.
Croft and Pattison in particular were abysmal, but Fotheringham and Clingan (this years Brellier) weren''t far behind.
If anyone can think of anything posiive to say, please do. I could do with cheering up.
[/quote]
Why just post your view on an exsisting threa don the subject... you really don''t need start another depressive thread about how disappointed you were in the teams performance!
Was it a game we had to win? NO
Was it a game thats going to improve our chances of having a good season? NO
It was just a FRIENDLY dry those eyes and look forward to an exciting season
Oh and something postive here goes..... you could support ipswich?

[quote user="Iwan Roberts"]I support Norwich City. I don''t care who the board is, who the manager is or who the players are, they''ll all be gone when I''m still supporting the team. I sing my heart out, never, ever boo one of our own and am proud to be a Norwich fan and always will be.
What is there to be gained from having a go at the board or slagging off our own players. Nothing is the answer, nowt.
You carry on moaning and having a go at the board see where it gets you.

Nice to see you on here again Smudger! Six months away and the dumbdicks are still dumb and the smart-arses are still arses.......
Good to see some more realism creeping in here and there though....but it''s a slow drip and Smith still holds the majority in her pudgy little hand.

I do enjoy my little ding-dongs with Cluck, although he can be frustratingly stubborn in his views he does at least have enough wit and intelligence to make it interesting.

Just that Delia is no benefactor, she never did throw that money on a bonfire, and Delia will make a profit on her time at NCFC.
[/quote]She sure will....and after the many years of piously extolling her virtuous tenure at Carrow Road it all leaves us with an unpleasant smell of bullsh*t. It''s fair to say that she fooled most of the people most of the time...and unfortunately fooled most of the gullible on here all of the time......
She cashed in by stealing the soul of Norwich City F.C....but I''m afraid such a crime can only be appreciated by those who equate the City of Norwich, the County of Norfolk and Norwich City Football Club as one and the same. A simple "Club fan" will never understand such deeply personal thinking without the history to go with it.
[/quote]
"She cashed in by stealing the soul of Norwich City F.C" - Could you just expand on that statement? I don''t understand it. I do consider NCFC as an intrinsic part of my identity, coming from Norwich and being a Norfolk man. I''m not sure how this is incompatible with Delia''s tenure?
Not having a go, just asking for a bit more of an explanation.

Have a go by all means.....[;)]

I will enjoy watching the new look squad start next season and I will worry about how we finance the move to the next level. I will remain optimistic that the search for new investment will be successful.
Thing is though our views are completely different, I look on with positivity and try to view every emerging situation objectively. Wheras you on the other hand have very extreme ideals and come across as consumed with hate against the current regime, and that is putting it mildly sunshine!!
My advice (if you want it) is calm it down a couple of notches.
[/quote]
I''m always calm....it''s just that some on here don''t care to hear an alternative view to their own. You might have umpteen years ahead of you during which to be complacent...but I''ve got 40 odd years of support already behind me...and have paid many thousands of pounds into the Carrow Road kitty in that time. Maybe when you''ve experienced some genuine good times and paid enough money into the club to fully expect a return, you may well look back on this period one day with disdain.
Let''s just hope you eventually get to see some proper football at Carrow Road to use as a comparison......

How ironic that we survived through the legacy left by that much maligned manager Nigel Worthington.

Dublin will be sorely missed...and with regards to Worthington, I think we can all now clearly see what he was up against in Smith and Co.
He should definately have gone early into that flukey Premiership season....but can you imagine who would heve replaced him? The mind truly boggles.

Nobody like Serbian International and previous Portsmouth captain Dejan Stefanovic ? That''s a shame, I thought we''d signed him.

Mmmmm.....I seem to remember saying recently that Smith will only get other peoples'' leftovers. Stefanovich WAS Pompey captain maybe...but then Huckerby WAS a match winner once too. Why not try for Tom Finney while we''re at it? He WAS the best player to wear an England shirt.
Time takes it''s toll and he''s now just another mercenary who will quickly get crocked and draw his wages from the physio''s bench....
Time to move forward.

[quote user="Evil Monkey"]I half agree with Cluck, but only because I work in an area where a lot of students come through and ask me questions - unfortunately, a good proportion of them are extremely stupid questions that they could have answered themselves if they''d have stopped for a second to think rather than relying on someone else. They''re young, and naive and too used to having mummy and daddy do everything for them. I came to Uni by my own volition, had no help from teachers, applied for everything myself and had to seek the answers from a jumble of confusing policy and misunderstandings. I like to think that I do have common sense and in a way, in the "real world" that is more important than having letters after your name.
However, I''m certainly not the only one and I hope I''m not in the minority in that sense. Whilst these weirdos and dullards who pass through at work frustrate me with their inability to just think for themselves, I know plenty more people here who do have some idea of how the world works and how to achieve some level of success in it, be it academic or otherwise.
When I do finally get that degree and those letters I would like to think that it is partly because I am able to think and apply common sense to my work, as well as for my knowledge of my field. The two do go hand-in-hand more than some of the newbies to Uni realise...
[/quote]You''re a quality adversary Monkeyboy...and I certainly wouldn''t put you in the bracket referred to in my post. However I''ve encountered many potential recruits over time who possess impressive educational papers, but who don''t have a clue about work ethic or of standing alone to solve a problem. Unfortunately there are far too many cossetted middle class kids who are at Uni because they "can"....and far too many who could but "can''t"....
A look at the logic on here at times defies belief.....but there will always be leaders and followers and both have a place in this world....however it often takes a "follower" many years to accept he will never be a "leader". It takes more than a simple piece of paper to make our way in this World...and no-one owes anyone a living out there today.
You''ll do fine Monkeyboy....of that I''m pretty sure. [Y]

But then Archie Macaulay was hardly a Harry was he. Neither was Ron Saunders. But both could boast seminal achievements in NCFC history. Getting the club up a division with solid runs at both levels thereafter.
If Roeder is two things he is both hardnosed and single-minded - with a point to prove and good current contacts in the game. My instinct says that he might just get lucky too.
If he does, watch out for a promotion challenge - if not, it could be League 1 here we come. I dont'' expect a midtable finish.

Sadly different days Bly. In those days players were poorly paid...and out there on the pitch because of the game of football itself. A good gaffer was a man in a collar and tie who you respected (and feared) and threat of being dropped meant more than a dent in your inflated "pop-star" ego.
Lets hope you''re right about Roeder...but I can''t see it. With no leader on the pitch and a lacklustre manager on the bench it will be mediocrity all the way as has been the painfully prudent Delia Smith game plan.
Still....let''s hope the restaurant taking are up this year eh?

[quote user="Mr.Carrow"]BDU, the only proven "class" player we have signed is Stefanovic. I`m bored of it all too but when i read such exagerated rubbish i can`t let it lie i`m afraid. To be fair i am mildly optimistic about the new season and if rumours of an Ameobi type coming in prove true then i will be more so, but believe it or not i was optimistic at the start of last season when plenty of people were posting things like "We haven`t signed a single player who doesn`t have a good pedigree". I rate our signings as better than last pre-season, but we are building from a much weaker base (no Hucks/Dublin, tiny squad). Just check out who had to play centre-back at the last friendly.
My posts on this thread have been regarding two specific points: your "Delia has not said or hinted she would give her shares away"- she has, and Blahx3 "I`ve learned that you can`t change peoples minds" and i pointed out that plenty of people have changed their minds about the board in recent years. If people want me to stop posting, don`t post cobblers.
[/quote]
Mr. Carrow....almost certainly this forums'' best mind. Certainly less caustic than some of us, but very rarely far off the mark.
But for Peter Cullum entering the fray...very little of this frantic (and painfully obvious) "I''ll show you" nonsense would have occured at CR. It''s shallow and petulent and typical of the small time Charlies who are currently running this club.
Like last year it will all unravell as time goes by...and sadly there will again be thousands of "supporters" dangling on Smith''s little string. No Huckerby or Dublin to inspire this time....and for those who thought Roeder was the "one" who dug us out of the mire last season (by 3 points)...you really are misguided. Dion Dublin did it...and he will no doubt go on to become the sort of manger this club actually needs.
More of the same to come this year...more of the same spin....and more of the same misguided false promise. It''s sad to witness...but that Boudicca spirit is well and truly dead in these parts...or has been watered down by those who want to wear the uniform but are not really dedicated to the cause.

That''s just how it is....and why some of us feel the soul rather than the cynical modern day Carrow Road hype.
PROTEST AGAINST DELIA AND THE BOARD
in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Posted
MDP and BDU, no-one other than maybe a few text-speak idiots has ever posted anything like that about Delia. By the same token i could post that both of you are bewitched by a fading celebrity who you view as a saint who can do no wrong, but it`s a bit silly really isn`t it?
There is plenty of evidence backing up MDU`s statement regarding Delias over-sensitivity, from her "I saved the club" outbursts at any criticism, to my friend who asked difficult questions at the AGM being invited to meet her to "explain what your problem is with me". She seems to view criticism of the club as criticism of herself and i think that in some peoples minds the two things have ceased to be seperate entities.
Now, as we are all NCFC supporters why don`t we start putting as much thought and effort into what is best for the CLUB as a whole, rather than one individual who happens to be running it at the moment?
[/quote]
As good a comment as I''ve read on here.
When I state that Smith has hijacked the "soul" of the club, this is exactly what is inferred. In years gone by the whole emphasis of the average NCFC fan was the club itself...and the players on the park. Now it has become the sensitivities of one individual.
As long as it stays this way we are lost and will remain floating in a stagnant pool of myth and deceit until it is eventually stopped. I find it staggeringly difficult to understand why so many still remain blinded by the "saviour" spin and can''t let go for the sake of the whole......
Mr. Carrow...I''ve no idea who you are but your finger is placed perfectly on the pulse of this once proud club of ours......
