[quote user="treacletown07"]Great player for us in the Championship but he was never good enough to be a Premiership player on a regular basis. And yes I was at the game yesterday.[/quote] Not good enough for the Premiership? Trouble is, we''ve landed ourselves with a group of players who aren''t good enough for the Championship!

[quote user="morty"][quote user="Lessingham Canary"]Probably not, but you will find something to have a pop about i''m sure.[/quote]Awwww, don''t get all butthurt.If you were to sift through most of the threads, and collate a majority of opinion, if we played a 4-4-2 with Canos in it, everything would be fine.[:D][/quote] Don''t be ridiculous. 4-2-3-1 is the only system that can work for us. Results prove it.

[quote user="daly"]Not up to speed yet[/quote] What you mean like our Manager?

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="king canary"]A couple of questions for Ricardo/anyone who attended. 1- when asked to run down his cv/qualifications what did Tom say? 2- was there any mention of Tony Spearing? Is he still with the club now Martin has his new role?[/quote] Tom didn''t say much about his CV. it was mainly about his longtime support and enthusiasm for the club and his wish to meet and talk to as many people as possible at the end of the meeting.No mention of Tony Spearing but there was discussion re the number of people who had failed in the recruitment dept. Perhaps they''ll get it right this time. [/quote] The question is, have they recruited the right person?

[quote user="Alex "]I finished work and couldn''t wait to get home to read about how the AGM went - thanks for your summary, Ricardo, it really is much appreciated. One of my overiding feelings is I actually really couldn''t give a flying monkeys b0110cks how much Ed Balls was or is paid, and I think I''d only get upset about it if I was clinging on to the slightest detail to try and slag our great club over. For the record, all things considered, I''d have thought he''d get more than that such is the money in football these days. But, seriously, who gives a shit?! My concern is for on field matters, that''s what I support NCFC for, not so I can get falsely furious over the higher echelons bloody wages![/quote] They rammed down our throats all night how it was absolutely critical that every spare pound had to be invested in "the football side of the business". The money that is brought into the club and taken out of the club is fundamentally important to what happens on the field. I really don''t understand how some people find it impossible to make the connection.

Deluded, deluded, deluded.

[quote user="pliff"]Is he really good enough for the Premiership?[/quote] The way things are going, I think that is very much a meaningless question.

[quote user="TCCANARY"][quote user="Jim Smith"][quote user="TCCANARY"][quote user="Jim Smith"][quote user="TCCANARY"][quote user="Jim Smith"] I don''t recall us paying Bowkett anything .[/quote] Did he ever act as interim CEO? [/quote] Ed Balls was not interim CEO. Leaving that aside the point was that Bowkett seemed (certainly initially) to get heavily involved alongside McNally on various matters which no doubt required a lot of time and effort.[/quote] That''s not a point, it''s got another name and you know what it is.What Bowkett did at that time is totally irrelevant as to whether someone should be paid for filling a role that was temporarily vacant. [/quote] Sorry I don''t get your point. You implied that Balls was interim CEO. He wasn''t. Steve Stone was interim CEO throughout the period from McNally''s departure to Moxey coming in.[/quote] Jim, you need therapy, it''s the only way you''ll ever be a peace. Paddy Davitt@paddyjdavittMichael Wynn Jones confirmed the paymt was to Ed Balls for acting CEO work following McNally''s departure #ncfc [/quote] In the true spirit of transparency, why did it take questions at the AGM for this to be revealed?
-
[quote user="Diane"]I''ve watched it again, no mention of Steve Stone or who did the interim ceo job in that interview on Mustard with Ed. Could someone else listen to it and tell me what Im missing, link is further up, thanks[/quote] I''ve listened and don''t think you are missing anything. They kept cracking on about transparency last night but before doing so they should have looked it up in the dictionary to find out the meaning of the word !

[quote user="Buh"]Karl Robinson?[/quote] I think you need several more question marks than one. Not a chance (I sincerely hope)

[quote user="The Walking Man "][quote user="Webbo118"][quote user="The Walking Man "]Did a great job at Fulham and West Brom, similar size clubs to us. Interstingly the West Brom fans would be keen to see him back there. There''s no such thing as a ''long term'' appointment at a club like ours anymore, if Hodgson can get us motivated and promoted then that''s all we ask this season. [/quote] I don''t know which West Brom vans you are referring to but the many West Brom fans I spoke to on visits (the Vine!), when he was Manager, all hated him[/quote]Yes, but now with the benfit of hindsight (oh what a wonderful thing) would have him back now. [/quote] Really? I somehow doubt it.

Nathan Smith ......

[quote user="Mary Poppins"]Too many Smiths at the club already, no thanks. Rather have Titus Bramble.[/quote] Does anyone know if, when his team defends a corner, he makes an attempt to jump and head the ball, thus preventing an opponent from getting a free header on goal. If he does, he would be a massive upgrade on what we have at the moment. -

[quote user="Diane"]So to get the thread back on track, are any of the posters on here who have questions they wish to ask of the board actually going to the AGM? I can see Nutty/Duncan/Tilly are going and I ll be there too, anyone else going from here? Should be an interesting night![/quote] I wouldn''t miss it for the world !
-
Definitely a rubicon moment !

[quote user="daly"]Well I sold the majority of mine to Jimmy Jones years ago and kept a few for a night out and the free Coffee etc. that''s all history now not even a free Mince Pie or a luke warm sausage roll[/quote] Will the coffee really been free. Have we been able to seize a load?

[quote user="daly"]More chance Red Ed winning Strictly than anyone being able to remove anyone from the BOD[/quote] More chance Leicester City winning the Premier League.

[quote user="ZLF"]As for 442 I am not averse to it but our squad isnt designed for that (not enough wide or striker alternatives) and as Leicester have showed you need hard working fit players to make it effective; ours dont appear to be ar$ed to either get fit or bothered to put in the effort on match day to show case the ability.[/quote] It doesn''t matter which system you adopt if you have players who continue to make basic mistakes. When the opposition gets a free kick some 40 yards out, what player (amateur or professional) thinks it is correct to have all your players standing in the penalty area. But this is what happened in injury time against Dirty Leeds. Are they just following instructions? Either way, it is extremely worrying. And can anyone explain why Jerome has recently given up trying to mark his opponent when defending a corner? This non-activity on his part has resulted in goals being scored by both Preston and Dirty Leeds!

How many points do we need to stay up? What is the target?

[quote user="danielsroundabout"]Watching Alex Neil''s post match Brighton and Leeds interviews and also watching him pitch-side yesterday, I increasingly see a man running out of ideas. Obviously, an interview so immediately after yet another dire performance will never see him at his most chipper but he is almost admitting to being at a loss to know what to do. I saw an interview with Karl Robinson at MK Dons, recorded just the day before Winkleman unloaded him and there was a marked similarity of demeanour of the two managers. I am not suggesting that AN is as close to the door as KR was and especially not so after the Delia interview but I would say there is a serious concern that it is not just the players who need to be lifted.[/quote] He has run out of ideas and hasn''t a clue how to put things right. All he says is we will work hard in training. Two suggestions - play two up front. As soon as Lafferty came on, there was someone to feed off Jerome''s knock-ons. Prior to that the only hope was Jerome chasing his own flicks. Keep Jerome well out of the way when we are defending corners. Two home games running he has stood and watched the man he was supposed to be marking get a free header. Absolutely criminal defending.

[quote user="Samwam27"]I''ve supported Norwich for 40 years. I''d give that up if that tw*t became our manager![/quote] I''ve supported Norwich for 53 years and feel exactly the same.

Awful awful sad sad news

[quote user="The young canary"]Looks like Lambert is off to Wolves Once again our inept board have shot the club in the foot big style When Neil goes after Saturday they need to go over soon afterwards[/quote] Lambert off to Wolves? What a massive relief. We''ve dodged one there, big style. -
Go for 4-4-2. The players are clearly not comfortable with 4-2-3-1, the opposition know what to expect and we are not getting enough players in the box. Even dear old Chris Hughton has seen the light!

[quote user="Mr Apples"]I''m surprised someone hasn''t yet come up with a formula to measure the relationship between realness of supporter (troll - plastic - customer - occasional fan - supporter - diehard), right to boo (none - some - total - God-given) and distance of residence from the hallowed turf (anything outside of NR1 automatically excludes the candidate and defaults to the rating of "Binner"). Apples[/quote] Do "supporters" who are "watching" the game on Radio Norfolk boo?

[quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="Move Klose"]Is this s serious post ??? Your not dropping McGovern. Your playing Laffertt left wing. Your dropping Olsson. Oh and your starting with 12 players 😂[/quote]Damn. Sorry Early morning.....Remove Lafferty....although I would still like to see him play for us again as he did when he first arrived. [/quote] What? Doesn''t that unbalance the team? You''ve just created a massive hole wide left!
