[quote user="On The Roeder To Division One"][quote user="Neil Cluckcaster"][quote user="BlyBlyBabes"]In what way you ask?
Simply put - that it will take a relegation to League 1 (Third Division) for the good folk of Norfolk to raise themselves to drive out the disastrous current NCFC majority owners & board - and enable the club to rediscover its soul and build again.

Well....I think he was spot on as usual. The bird is obviously a far sighted genius.......... [:)]

I''m only here because of you.............[:)]
Good post Fellas. I don''t think Roeder is good enough either. He''ll be ok for a stabilisation scenario...but doesn''t have the necessary dynamism to take us further. Basically just the type of guy Smith wanted to hold the fort while the empire building off-pitch continued.
New owner and he''ll be on his bike........

[quote user="Salahuddin"]Several days ago I wrote an email to Mr Cullum, urging him to keep trying. I recieved a response today. I will change it slighlty so it will hopefully get past Pete''s rigid censorship!
I''m afraid its not much, but it is refreshing that a Billionaire actually replies to emails!
The simple fact is Delia is not for selling. I remain puzzled by the whole situation. I’ll remain in the background.
[/quote]
If true (and I would believe you above most others Salahuddin.... Fancy a drink later ? [;)])....it is what I would expect him to say. He is in no hurry...is not going to be pushed and sees the situation at Carrow Road as most of us do.
Why pay a fiver when you can get it for a quid when it all goes tits up? Money in the team...not the celebrity''s pocket.....

[quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]Totally agree with the last two posts; we have a lot of hoo-ha created in the fanbase over nothing and a nothing that should have stayed behind the scenes. Its the club and fans that have to cope with the fall out as once again the £££ take over. [/quote]
With all due respect I hardly consider the very future of the club "hoo-ha". With the strangle hold Smith and Jones have over the club and it''s performance, Peter Cullum was quite right to force things into the open....if only to reveal how potential suitors are dismissed and derided by the current hierarchy. Smith and Jones have been "empire building" from the word go and are now seeking a major return on their meagre investments before walking away loaded with NCFC booty.
To be honest, Peter Cullum would be bonkers to play their game and will I''m sure bide his time before showing interest again. He may well be a disaster...but I''m prepared to take that risk rather than wallow in the mire until the old bird finally throws in the tea-towel.

1) This is assuming that the difference doesn''t go into PC''s bulging pocket doesn''t it. There is no evidence that this won''t happen.

You crack me up. you really do. Business Nous and Dynamism. Wow. Cos he''s shown so much dynamism in waiting 8 months to do anything. And he''s shown so much Business Nous speaking up in the middle of the transfer window and doubling the prices of all the player''s were after at a crucial time. Signing these players would make the club worth more when he takes over, but would be unlikely to change the price on jot. He''s shown so much Nous by refusing to make an official open offer - which would be available to all shareholders, so we would all know the details - how much more pressure would Delia be under if it was shown that he had made her a fair/reasonable offer?
But if you are taken in by Spin then well, there no hope for you.
By the way, not scared, just wishing someone would give Delia the opportunity to walk away with a high head and *most* of her money intact. The impression I get is that she would take in today if there was one.
And the planet saving, thats someone else.
[/quote]You really haven''t got a clue about business have you 7rew? Try to remove your knee jerk emotionalism for a mo and see it purely as a business propostion.

Only folk like you need to see things done overnight...whereas a business man will bide his time and wait for the "moment". Heads rule hearts in businessland.
NCFC are going nowhere (except down) as a concern...and he knows it. See it as a sale in a High Street store where there is only one item for sale and you know no-one is prepared to pay the asking price. Wait long enough and the price will fall...wait even longer and the seller will realise there are no takers....wait even longer and it will become the subject to a bankruptcy sale...then Peter Cullum will strike.
His money is needed in building the squad...not making Delia Smith and Wynn Jones a cynical fortune.
[/quote]
But he''s supposed to be a true fan wanting to get us back to the premiership for truely altruistic purposes isn''t he? Not a business man out to make a profit? I mean that isn''t allowed for people investing in Norwich is it? If so why would he want the club to decline and further (assuming it is going to) that just makes his job harder and more expensive. Why does he have to come out and say what he did in the middle of the transfer window, which is likely to be a cause of further decline as it makes it harder to get players? Some of what I see is that he is in no mind to pay the going rate for a unique product, just wants the club on the cheep. Not a good start is it? Start on the cheap and continue on the cheap?
In fact, why not make an offer at all? It can only strenghthen his position and make DS look worse.
This Cynical fortune - Smith has already made it, hasn''t she? I mean in purely buisness terms she had the money to put into the club in the first place, yes? That money is now in the club and is worth whatever she is prepared to sell it for and anyone else is prepared to buy it for? She is just trying to get her fortune back. In purely business terms that is perfectly reasonable, in fact is what is supposed to happen.
Hypocrasy is a horrible word Cluck. If Cullum is to act as a business man, then let Delia act as one also. If Delia has to be purely altruistic and give the club, away, then insist that Cullum acts in the same way towards her. If one has to try to balance both styles, then let them both balance both styles.
Just because Cullum is the first to say that he wants to give the playing side some money, small compared to his personally wealth as it is, does this mean we must fawn over him and abandon all critical and rational thought about his motives and actions? If so then we would be no better than the binners singing we''re filthy rich about Marcus Evans, when they know nothing about him. Worse, because we have the chance to find out, but willfully ignore it in case we find something we dislike and might ruin our fairytale existance.
[/quote]7rew...I have no desire to start clashing again on here...but try to see the bigger picture. Peter Cullum is an accepted City fan...but he a businessman first and foremost. This means his head rules his heart on any matter involving investment no matter how dear something may be to him....and that is why he is such a successful man. Let emotions cloud your vision and you''re lost.
There is no guarantee that he will be any better or worse than Smith and Jones...but does that mean we have to tolerate the same old tripe we''ve been getting for the last decade or so? Who dares wins and I''d far rather walk a tightrope to success than float into the sh1t on a feather.......
A season or two either way will not bother Peter Cullum. He will pick up the pieces left behind by Smith and then demand what we all ultimately want....success and determination on the pitch. There is no such thing as a "free lunch" (apart from buy one get one free at Tescos)....and the risk could be very exciting indeed.

[quote user="ryank"]From a high risk takeover, see Mr Glazier at Man Utd, over the next 15 years they will be PAYING for Mr Glaziers takeover. This means that Glazier has invested NOTHING into Man Utd.
Probably hasnt, but may well have done. How do we know that Cullum wouldnt have put in £20 million for players, but given the club the burden of £9million extra debt for the purchase of Delias share
Stop talking about things you know nothing about. We just dont know the circumstances.

[/quote]And she should have sacked Worthless when we got promoted, in stead of as she put it we are going to enjoy ourselfs and what ever happens will happen, No Ambition What so ever.DELIA OUT
[/quote]
I''m not exactly Delia''s biggest fan but haveing a pop at Delia for not sacking Worthington the season after he got us promoted is quite simply one of the most idiotic posts I have ever seen on this forum.
[/quote]
It''s always nice to read the London angle..........I think the point was that when things were going so dramatically wrong he should have been swiftly removed. It was evident after just a few games that neither Worthington nor the "Little Old Norwich" boardroom mentality were in the Premiership for the long term....because quite frankly it was embarrassing.
It''s not all about the Premiership success...it''s about being believable as a force by opponents....and Boardroom credibility. We had neither.

It''s tough enough to demand activity from a plumber these days due to his high income and the demand for his labour...so what chance an overpaid footballer who is secure for life and with a whacking great PFA pension payable at the age of 40?
Roeder can be as nasty as he likes...but you have to earn respect not demand it. I can''t see where Roeder will succeed knowing his long term record and once the mediocre players City have switch off there will be nothing left in the cupboard.
Nasty and respected yes...nasty and unpopular no.

[quote user="Carlos Valderrama"][quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]so we are happy to move from a group shareholders to return to a club owned by a single person who is using bully boy tactics to get what he wants? An aggressive campaign to seize control with lackey fans seduced by big numbers without any sense of what he may actuially want to do once he seizes control. That carrow road is worth a fair bit on its own and mike ashley now only seems interested in profit - as were the glazers and liverpool crowd. Ruthless maybe, but who is to say that wont turn on the fans too?
Until I hear more I cant celebrate cullum as a saviour - his approach so far is a long way from what this club has ever been about - whether delia, watling chase or south.
[/quote]
Becuase as happy as I am with Delia, and as grateful as I am for what she has done for the club, this club cant progress any further under her stewardship. Time for a change. If Cullum were to come in and it all goes wrong then so be it, at least we wont be left wondering what if.
[/quote]
While unlike you I cannot see where Smith and Jones have benefitted the club during their tenure (it is a pure myth that they in any way "saved" it)...I agree that if Peter Cullum was dismissed now by the present hierarchy in a bid to profiteer it may mean we will all be bemoaning it in a few years time.
Should we slide further into the mire to the point that no-one at all wants to touch us with a barge pole, we could end up in the hands (like so many failing clubs) of a tin pot board without two halfpennies to rub together.
Time to move on whatever our loyalties and put the team first...which theoretically is what NCFC should be all about.

[quote user="good tips"][quote user="Branston Pickle"][quote user="good tips"]I don''t think many fans will be on the fence by the end of next week when they read what really went on this week. NO meeting, NO proper negotiation, in fact they just made it as difficult as possible for Cullum, in the end frustrating him and making him angry.[/quote]
Well there seems to be two (or more) versions of what happened at this ''meeting'', so perhaps time will tell us all....though why should anyone believe you in what you are saying here any more than those whose accounts are different?
If, when the ''truth'' comes out and Delia et al look like a bunch of money grabbing rank amateurs, all well and good, but what astounds me at the moment is that just about any old b-s about the club seems to be lbelieved by all and sundry, and the more negative the better. And so far - forgive me if I''m wrong - all it seems you have done so far is feed trite comments to those who will lap them up, with absolutely no substance whatsoever.
[/quote]
Your reaction to what I say is understandable. You dont know me and I dont know you ,so fair enough. What you choose to believe is up to you, but you will find truth in what I say next week. All I can tell you is that I have been party to some of the goings on but only from Cullum''s side. I can give you no more substance, other than to say that it will all be proved next week. I know there was no meeting with the club and I know that they issued him with a list of some pretty ridiculous questions before they would meet with him. They know he is busy running his business, he was not available for a meeting this week, this had already been stated in the EDP. They want to frustrate him and make him back down because either Delia does not want to let go of control or because she does not want to stay on with a new board in control and therefore wants him to buy her out completely at an un-realistic cost per share.
Cullum''s side of things will come out next week, but he is not the sort of man who is was to issue a rash statement in a hurry over the weekend. He will consult people first then act, you watch the papers next week. He will not put up with the way things have been distorted by the club. Whether or not it will result in things going further with NCFC will depend on the fans reaction to the news and then Delia''s reation to them.

[quote user="Shifty Sid"][quote user="Mr.Carrow"]Shifty Sid, thanks for having the good grace to accept you might have got something wrong. It`s obviously difficult to take things at face value on a message board but i will accept you have the contacts you say you have,so.......a question. If the club had "other reasons for turning down the offer", will they just come out and let us know what they were? And if not, why not? Thanks.[/quote]
I emailed Neil C earlier saying just that. The Club must get the facts out there to put the record stright. PC certainly has no issues going public, regardless of all the implications. By not saying anything, I presume the Club are just protecting all parties concerned - this should all have occured behind closed doors to avoid the situation we now find ourselves in.
This negativity and bitterness needs to end. Common sense, and factual analysis are the way forward otherwise the forthcoming season is undermined before it even starts.
Hopefully Neil will be able to put some facts out there. However, some people will only hear what they want to hear and whatever he says may simply be shot down in flames.

[quote user="C.T"][quote user="Neil Cluckcaster"]Newbie here.......apparently. [:)]
Opening up another angle here....there seems to be far too much emphasis on the contents of PC''s wallet rather than the "sea-change" his leadership could bring. It''s not always money that changes a situation and from my standpoint his nous and dynamism in the world of business is far more relevant than simply stumping up some cash to be frittered away by those currently pulling the strings at CR.
The present day image of NCFC up and down the country is that of an ageing "has been" tv cook clinging onto her last means of getting noticed by the public. The heart and soul of our once proud club has been robbed in the persuance of a celebrity ego and the grass roots brushed aside to accomodate her persona. When I was a youngster Norwich City meant just that...Norwich the City with it''s beautiful cathedral, rivers, buildings, open market and so on. It also represented the wider County of Norfolk where folk would travel for miles from the likes of Sheringham and Diss on a day out...the cynical season ticket rip-off not being an issue and where casual supporters were able to enjoy a game at random with their friends around them. Now it''s the well heeled luvvy show and the kids and pensioners who made this club can''t get a look in.
I say well done to Peter Cullum for opening this can of worms for us. In due course (if the City fans demand it enough) he will stroll back in with the club in even further turmoil and pick up a bargain...his money going into the playing squad and a quality manger''s pocket rather than Delia Smith''s bulbous bum bag. If she continues to bleed the club dry to save her dubious investment as she appears to be doing...where is that love and affection for NCFC she has been cynically bleating about for years? If Peter Cullum gets a bargain...good luck to him as the less that goes into Smith''s pocket the better it will be for the club itself.
Cluck said it would need to get worse before it got better...and it looks to be even more likely now than ever. Only a radical drop in DS and MWJ''s potential profit taking will force their arm....and if that means relegation to bring in someone with vigour and steel like Peter Cullum then so be it.
One day we might once again have a club where few outside the County know who the Chairman/owner is. I''m sure he would prefer it that way....and so would any prospective ambitious signings/manager. Bring back the grass roots and pride we once had I say and let''s put an end to this embarrassing celebrity circus we have been allowed to become.......
Only by dumping the cook and her cohorts can we do so.....and Peter Cullum is best placed to do that.

Only by dumping the cook and her cohorts can we do so.....and Peter Cullum is best placed to do that.

Simply put - that it will take a relegation to League 1 (Third Division) for the good folk of Norfolk to raise themselves to drive out the disastrous current NCFC majority owners & board - and enable the club to rediscover its soul and build again.

Well certainly more so than that other bird, who seems to have exposed herself from almost evry angle recently!
Welcome back Cluck.

I have to say I have missed interacting with my old chums BBB...and certain foes! Cluck made his point however and now maybe his "love child" Neil can be a bit more relaxed with his insults.......... [:)]
Are there any new Londoners on here?
would League One be so bad?

So whose with me? Pull down the lahdidah prawn and avocado sandwich (with crusts cut off) Jarrold Stand and rid ourselves of these "new" fans. The only reason the players have their names on their backs is so that this lot know who is playing for us!
