The Spirit of 93

Chase = 2 FA Cup SEMI-finals, European football, 5th,4th, 3rd in top division, relegation, massive debts, near bankruptancy, almost destroyed the club Delia = Saved club from going under,  1 successful  manager out of 4, improved financial situation. Chase did well for the club for a long time but stayed far too long, you might well say the same about Delia, but at least take a balanced look at both of them.  

There has been a lot of doom and gloom about the recent transfers but really it’s not that bad:  We’ve sold Earnshaw and brought in Cureton and Strihavka to replace him and still have probably the best part of £2 million left over – I think that leaves the squad in a much stronger position.   We’ve sold a very inconsistent player (who plays well in 1 game every 4) for £1.5 million which is very fair price, and leaves Grant with enough time to find a replacement more worthy of putting on the yellow shirt.   We’ve already made the promising signings of Brellier, Marshall and Otsemebor .   As long as we can hold of the advances of WBA for Safri I’m still optimistic about next season.

There is no reason why Neil Doncaster should go. He is not to blame for the fact that Earnshaw and Etuhu have no loyalty to the club.

Safri must stay!!! He is the best midfielder that Norwich have had since Ian Crook. Last season he was the only midfielder we had capable of passing the ball consistently to a team mate. And unlike the tower of apathy that has just sulked off to Sunderland, everytime Safri is on the pitch he plays his heart out for Norwich.

In Munich, Goss and Crook played central midfield. Fox and Bowen played as wing-backs. It was the second greatest Norwich victory I''ve seen, only bettered by the 85 Semi and Bruce''s goal!                                       Gunn                                  Culverhouse                     Newman          Prior              Butterworth            Fox                                                                              Bowen                                      Goss  Crook                                  Sutton          Robins/Sutch
