  1. [quote user="Camuldonum"][quote user="nutty nigel"] This  "claiming back the rebate" is getting tiresome now. Those of us who renewed our season ticket did so on the understanding that the said tickets come at a cheaper price if they are to watch League One football. Since that time we have received no communication from the club asking us to waive this League One price. We took a vote at St Andrews Hall based on the assumption that a communication was coming from the club. I voted to stick with the agreement I had signed up to as did the majority, 75% I believe. If such a communication from the club is forthcoming then I would have thought that any reasonably minded person will read it and either stick to their decision or be persuaded by it to change their minds. It is seeming increasingly strange that we are becoming so entrenched about something that hasn''t happened yet.   [/quote] Not an issue this end had it happened except for the fact that if it damaged Lincoln or Colchester financially I would not do it. I do realise you have issues but I am never going to go down that path.  I have had issues but I still won''t go down that path.  Not as a statement, nor as an issue.  Absolutely no way.  [/quote]So what exactly is your point?
  2. No IBA, that is not my point, I don''t expect the board to be choosing players. What I do expect the board to do, is realise what type of players are going to be brought in, and the effects that will have on the club. Surely the board have enough football knowledge to know that if Grant wanted to bring in scottish journeymen, then he wasn''t the man for the job.Likewise, if those names were the targets that roeder mentioned to the board during his interview, then they should have made sure sufficient funds were available for him to secure those players services. IMO its not luck - it simply requires some joined up thinking and planning - heaven forbid.
  3. I don''t know if you can say it luck as such, as surely both Grant and Roeder were interviewed and employed not only on their persona''s, but also their gameplans. Having finally sacked Worthy, the board then signed Grant, who had a gameplan of signing some poor players from the Scottish leagues. The thing is, he must surely have been asked in his interview what his gameplan was, and therefore if he answered with the degree of depth that such an important interview would require, the board were extremely naive in thinking that such a large number of gems were waiting to be uncovered. Surely they should have asked themselves why Worthy had not uncovered them? I can understand them thinking that Roeders loan gameplan could work - due to the success of the Huckerby triumvirate - but despite this success, surely they should have had doubts as to whether such major changes would destroy team camaraderie as it did with Grant.
  4. Yes LQ, money would help us get out of League One, but only if its spent on the football team. Therein lies the problem.
  5. [quote user="Badger"][quote user="mrdi"]3. Ian Crook - only Phil Mulryne has arguably come anywhere near Chippy on the creativity stakes since Crook finished as a player for us, in my opinion - and even then Mullers wasn''t even 10% the player Chippy was. However much we''ve been desperate for a creative midfielder the last few years, I''m not sure how much scope there will be for one in League One, however. [/quote]Sorry, Mulryne did not come anywhere near Chippy. It would be Eadie or Huckerby for me - but they would probably get kicked to pieces.[/quote]Nice bit of selective highlighting [:)]
  6. Hey! I made one nutty''s songs - anyone want my autograph? [:D]
  7. I have no idea Butler - you could be worthy of such unwavering devotion?[:)]
  8. [quote user="Jimmy Smith"][quote user="Mello Yello"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR4K5KtaNl8   Fairly apt.......[/quote]haha! qualitya bit of D n B from Pendulum might work tho. Failing that, how bowt some Eminem, lose yourself, just tell the kids to hold their hands against their ears!or a completely different route, Sonne by Rammstein! Come out to the countdown![/quote]Sonne is a good call Jimmy - how about Metalingus by Alter Edge? But surely the best contender is Ace of Spades by Motorhead. Might wake the river end though [:)]
  9. [quote user="Kathy"]Tilly is in the Med taking a well earned break. KB is in charge. OMG! [/quote]Whatever can he find to do whilst sitting on the beach all day?.............
  10. Yes LQ, it would be interesting to see your solutions.
  11.  Big Fish - without the supporters there is no club to own. I find it rather strange that as more people begin to sing from the same hymn sheet on this forum, so the accusations of extremism increase - surely the greater the number the less the extremism? What would you do to change our fortunes Big Fish?
  12. [quote user="bloodwagon"][quote user="Gunns NO Legend"]No its not the time for support it is time to let the Cook know her time is up that we will not stand anymore of her pathetic decisions , if going into administration gets rid of that evil woman then the sooner the better . [/quote] I really do think DS knows how most fans think, and the thing is, you can protest as much as you like, but if DS cant or dont want to sell, theres bugger all you can do about it, as you seam to forget, IT~S HER CLUB !!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote]Really? I had a feeling it was actually OUR club. Majority shareholders are only there by the grace of the fan-base - as a certain person once found out.
  13. [quote user="T"]Sorry Mr C but I don''t see how taking the views of the generally acknowledged experts in football finance and Peter Cullum over your good self is being childish. Which  successful club will you quote next year.There will always be diferent clubs which under or over perform although the premiership league table is fairly predictable at the start of the season because the larger disparity in budgets.  Norwich had a mid-table playing budget this year as the report by Sheff Utd showed with only the teams with playing budgets or cash injections such as qpr with a higher budget. The Board made an adequate budget available but a bad choice of manager/players was the problem not an inadequate playing budget. The irony is that people saying we should do better with our crowds but should not spend on infrastructure when it is because of the infrastructure we have the crowds that we do - you can hardly argue they come for the quality of the football! [/quote]No, I don''t think that is true. People go to football to see FOOTBALL - not infrastrucutre. In my opinion, if you are going to argue your economics on this basis you are hardly likely to agree with many football supporters T.
  14. [quote user="Canary Pirate"]Is there a manager actually out there who meets all the requirements that you list, who we can afford, who will actually come here knowing Delia & Co are so despised by the fans. And.......... will all the fans unite behind this mystery person should we manage to tempt him here, I doubt it. Delia is now in a position that she will not be allowed to take the credit for any decision even if it proved to be a correct one ![/quote]I don''t believe that. I think that a series of ''joined up'' decisions backed by a decent plan to get us back where we belong would be met by credit from even the most die-hard of board-outers. Do you think the board are capable of this Pirate?
  15. Now is this the flip or the flop part of the cycle? The identifying factors are getting more blurred by the day!
  16. [quote user="Happy Clapper"]less money for playersless money for wagesgood idea - not![/quote]less money for infrastructureless money for cock-upsgood idea - yes!
  17. But the smiths still hold a casting vote, so I fear a fan on the board will just be a token - nothing more.
  18. [quote user="barryevans"]well done you crazy cat[/quote][:D][:D] best laught I''ve had all day[:D]
  19. [quote user="Canary Pirate"][quote user="Disturbed"] [quote] user="Bartholomew Bumpkin BSc (Hons)"]Mr Pirate Spoken like a true fan! I too will be at the games with my lovely, and much cherished, season ticket along with my cousin Barnaby. Let the malcontents shuffle their feet and grumble in Morrison car park. I wouldn''t go upsetting the "cancel your season ticket" clique on this board, they''re very highly strung. Can''t wait until August - Yel Army! Bartholomew[/quote] Agreed - and to the rest of the majority out there who do NOT post on here do not be put off by the board bashers - lets turn this forum into a positive spae and not a sactuary for the terminally disparing!!! [/quote] This all makes quite a refreshing change, I am overcome with positive vibes ! [/quote]It''s quite amazing how threatened some people feel by a little ole meeting.
  20. [quote user="Disturbed"]Yes well done for a fantastic turnout but please do not think for one moment that those mere 600 souls represent the rest of the 30000 + norwich supporters out there - you are very much mistaken if you do. Those who turned up for this meeting had axes to grind and are representative only of their own views. The polls taken are are meaningless - you cold get 600 sould together for a pro gun meeting no problem. The support for Gunn is split down the middle from what i can see from other polls and speaking to people. As per these forums - extremist views and minorities will alwys overpower the voice of the majority beause the majority are content - not happy - just content and realistic. Go on - shoot me down. [/quote]Come on then, organise it. Hire St. Andrews Hall and fill it with passionate City supporters who love their club AND support the appointment of Gunn. That way we can get a better view of things, if, as you say, the figures are not representative.
  21. It''s not bad - a good pic of the crowd - but the headline is tempered somewhat with the inclusion of the Associate Directors call for unity.
