Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Friday 15 May 4:30pm - 5:15pm BBC2 Norwich FC The ultimate culinary challenge for Britain''s top chefs. John Burton Race and Atul Kochhar cook at a special gala event at one of Delia''s restaurants at Norwich City Football Club. The chefs can choose their own style of menu, so expectations are higher than ever. The diners choose between the dishes, and whoever makes the most profit wins. The question is, who will win over their dinner guests, and who will make the most money across the week?

A show of ambition would be to throw off the "little old Norwich" tag that Delia has given us. A club of our side should be in the championship, I''m not saying we should be challenging for promotion every year but I think it is reasonable to expect us to be a team like Coventry or Preston or Burnley who will most seasons finish comfortably midtable. There will be the occasional play-off push and the occasional flirt with relegation but for the most part will finish 12th or 13th. The board have constantly gone on about our lack of money yet the aforementioned teams can manage to build there own squads and compete in the Championship. People seem to have got us confused with teams like Leeds, Southampton, Charlton etc. whose problems have stemed from over spending in the pursuit of the Premier League dream, our problem is the opposite we didn''t spend enough when we were in there or the first season back down to give us a fighting chance of coming back up.

Dino Zoff wasn''t half bad

[quote user="ryan85k"]Jamie Cureton - 850k   - Now out of contract David Marshall £1m   - Sold for 400k Mark Fotheringham 500k  - Released Lee Croft - 600k  - Out of Contract   Those are just the reported figures of course. But thats £2.65m lost on transfer fees for those 4 very average players alone.   [/quote]Fozzy was a free agent when we signed him...

The majority of them has some experience coaching or being a number 2 though. Gunn only has about a month as a stand in Goalkeeping coach. And he has experience of getting a team relegated

[quote user="Royal Anglian all the way"]all i read is how bad a manager bryan gunn is, well i can guarantee 90% of you wouldnt be giving gunn teh abuse you have been if he had of kept the club up.[/quote]Of course we wouldn''t be giving him this level of abuse if he''d of kept us up. He''d of done his job then. I still wouldn''t want him as manager even if we did stay up

[quote user="lincoln canary"]nice one crofty show a bit of loyalty to the fans who have treated you so well and helped to award you with player of the season. fcuk you un loyal money grabbing b**tard i hope you break both legs and have to retire from the game. judas scum [/quote]Slight over reaction. You''d do the same if you were in his shoes, you can''t blame him for leaving.

He wouldn''t be my first choice. But he knows how to get a team out of this division, it was when he got promoted that he cocked things up. A Forest fan did suggest him to me when we were discussing who should be the next manager. Would rather Gannon or Robins though.

If we don''t get back up at the first attempt we could be down there for a while. The minimum has to be a promtion push that keeps us in contention until the last day.

Listening to Gunn talk at the Fan''s forum yesterday he really failed to inspire. He has shown nothing in his 19 games (which is nearly half a season and enough time to turn things round) to suggest that he will ever be a good manager. He took us backwards not forwards. If he wasn''t a club legend he would be hounded out

That did raise a smile and yes it was directed at Smudger

Saw today in the city a car getting a parking ticket for being in the disabled bay. Couldn''t see who was driving but Cody was in the passenger seat, have been told it was Lee driving but I don''t think it was. Driving a Porsche. Disgraceful behaviour and Cody was laughing as the two of them drove off.

He''s an alright bloke, just has very strong opinions and doesn''t know when to shut up.[/quote]Aha i was there, and then also at the fans forum. He errm..certainly let his opinions felt. One thing i will say, is he stuck with them despite fans giving him abuse.[/quote]Which one were you then? I was the one with the Gojira hoody and the mess of curly hair

I was at the fans forum until 6 when I had to leave for transport reasons. Judging by the way Gunn was speaking I have no doubt he has the job, he was also very uninspiring. Smudger was stood at the back making his feelings known, looked like they were nearly ready to chuck him out when I left

I''m heading off now hope to see you all there at 2.

[quote user="Canaryfan7"]I will ask my question again as i think it was missed. Who is Malcolm Robertson? He''s on the fans forum today.[/quote]According to google he''s a yacthmen who was killed by pirates.

[quote user="hogesar"]Don''t suppose anyone can tell me the bus times for the X1 dereham - norwich. I think on sunday''s its quarter to every hour - i think it''s the same for today? I forgot it was a bank holiday![/quote]Trains are running Sunday times I''d imagine it''s similar for the buses.

I''m passionate but I don''t have the first clue how to run a football club. Passion isn''t everything, as we can see with McAnthony at Peterborough who is a Liverpool fan but knows what he''s doing when it comes to running a club.

2pm City Stand it is. I shall be there.

[quote user="GazzaTCC"]Mumby and Doncaster were by the corner of the pitch talking to Gunn, so his time is up. [/quote]Or they were offering him a new deal

Give us a time to meet and a place (like outside the City Stand), even if not that many turn up intially its bound to attract more.

The center backs are all physical and slow. You play a big man to battle with them (Alan Lee?) and then have a quick player to get round the back of them. I don''t see why Cody can''t be the quick player, I reckon he''ll get 20 goals next season.
