It''s on the back page and inside back cover of the EDP.

Jakesacanary - surely you answer your own point? The meeting has got you out recruiting which perhaps you wouldn''t have done without it? I think NICSA is wary of acting without a consensus of opinion, which last night went someway to helping it finding out.

Andy was the curly haired chap I believe. He spoke very very well. It was good to meet some of you tonight - Butler, Nutty and Smudger to name a few. Lets hope we can move forward from here.

Everytime I read Ryans posts - I can''t help thinking of Rick in the Young Ones [;)]

[quote user="West_London_Canary"]If the Norwich Board have even the slightest bit of ambition in them then they will keep hold of both Hoolahan and Clingan, sure they can kick up a fuss, but ultimately they have no choice but to give it there all for us in league 1, because if they fail to make any impact what so ever in League 1 they will simply fall of the radar, which means no championship clubs will come after them in the future. Look at C.Ronaldo, you don''t really believe that he wants to be at United do you? Of course not but Ferguson wont let him go and he''s still been their star player this season despite the odd temper tantrum. [/quote]Because even Ronaldo knows that if he is not playing his value drops.

A good dollop of fisons if ever I saw one.

[quote user="Evil Monkey"][quote user="astrodyne"][quote user="Evil Monkey"]Its like dumping your girlfriend because you want to have the best sex in the world, which she just can''t deliver, and not having Jenna Jameson or Jana Cova lined up to replace her, greatly increasing the chances of ending up with the village slapper instead....[/quote]Yes but if your girlfriend is as inept at sex as this board are at managing the club, wouldn''t you be better of with wrist strengthening exercises?[/quote]But they can only provide so much satisfaction, and its not long before your internet connection has been exhausted and you''re looking for something a little more 3D to get off on.... that''s when you get desperate, run down to the local and end up telling that tubby lass who works behind the bar but has a good rack that she''s the prettiest girl you''ve ever met and would she, maybe, fancy a drink ''after hours''....... which seems like a good idea until you wake up the next morning, your bed reeking of vodka, vomit and sex-wee and your arm slightly numb from the walrus who''s been happily resting on it all night.  Next thing you know there''s a baby on the way, you''re crying in the vestry wearing a hired suit and that slightly-bad-in-bed girlfriend suddenly seems like the best sex you ever had.....................................................................................I''m guessing, of course............... [8-)][/quote]Hmmm....I must admit I''m warming to your point of view. I think it was the sex-wee that could be the clincher.

[quote user="7rew"][quote user="CT "]Forgive me for this but I fail to see why wanting the board means having to come up with a replacement plan. The basic facts are we dont know the full extent of people out there that want to come in but for whatever reason havent been able to. It is my opinion that Delia has rejected a lot of offers but this isnt what I wanted to cover in this thread. A £56 million valuation of a struggling (then championship )club What i want to cover is the patronising comments made by various people on this message board like ''so when will you be investing your millions into the club'' ''there will be no club without investment and theres no-one out there to invest''. I dont think its the fans responsibility to come up with the necessary plans to get rid of delia and i also dont think any fans that think we should get rid should be shot down with people asking for their plans of action. When Mr. Chase no-one came up with any ways to replace him- the fans just acted and protested against him and his regime. Why is now not the same? The principals are. [/quote]Because the arguement that they should go is based on two premises:(1) This board is bad.(2) A new board would be better.Therefore this board should be replaced.Without an alternative, step (2) is the dodgy step in this argument.   It is not a strawman argument as someone said here - it is the main weak point in the argument -  1) and the logical deduction are definately true and generally agreed upon.  If you can''t back up your argument how can you expect to convince anyone with it?And your opinion that DS has rejected alot of offers isn''t enough to base (2) on, it being the opinion of someone who has no facts but really really wants it to be true*.  There is as much evidence for there being no serious alternative as for many offers (since lack of evidence is evidence in neither direction).  Frankly it comes down to how optimistic you are, pessimists will expect that (2) is not true, optimists that it is.  Well done for being a optimist though, our recent preformances has killed that in me.*you are not alone in this, everyone hopes that there have been many serious offers in the best interests of the club.[/quote]Forgive me for being thick - but what are you actually trying to say?

A good post Coelho but you ruined it slightly with the kisses at the end - I''m sure two or three would have sufficed[;)]

[quote user="Bobert"][quote user="Rock the Boat"]He left the same reason all the other backroom staff left. Driven out by H.M. the Queen.[/quote] I think there was more to it than that. Andrew had filled the Ground with Season Ticket holders and so his ability to earn bonus (which presumably  he was paid) was limited by his success. His way to the Board was blocked by his boss Niel Doncaster and there was a marketing man there already in the shape of Roger Munby. I believe Andrew had a mate at MK Dons and once there he was given the title of "Group Sales and Marketing Director". After seven years at NCFC learning his trade MK Dons was a natural progression for Andrew. I cannot see your man coming back to Nowich for less than £200,000 as CEO.    [/quote]What''s an extra £45,000 if he managed to get us a football team again? Especially one without poorly worded release clauses.

[quote user="Branston Pickle"]To be fair, I have several friends who support sides from the lower leagues and they all reckon that you need a certain ''type'' of player to get out of League 1, and that is one who has been there and done it - having Championship/Premiership quality is not really an option for us, but nor might it be a bad thing.      Unfortunately for us, they all also reckon that you need an experienced manager who is used to that level as well, ie definitely not what Gunn brings to the table.  That said, we have him so all real supporters should back him, as there is no real alternative. [/quote]I love the way that board supporters are flinging these little remarks into their posts now - and with such unision too.....

[quote user="dhalsimsrightfoot"]fergie himself (i believe after more than 19 games) was only 1 game away from being sacked himself for man utd back in the early 90''s. just shows what can happen if people are given a chance[/quote]Did they get relegated? Had he not successfully managed an Aberdeen side to levels way above their station. Yet still he was only one game away from getting the sack. Does that not tell you something?

[quote user="Royal Anglian all the way"][quote user="Smudger"]I think that UEA is a total cock with no grip of reality and if he said to me what he has posted on here today then I would tell him this directly to his face. It is all these flippin idiots that need driving out of Norwich! [/quote] i agree with ueacanary tho it was to soon for bryan gunn to be judged just because he was in charge, i dont think even alex ferguson couldve kept the load of shit playing at norwich up. thing is would we have been anybetter with any off the other managers at the helm, money doesn always buy success, look at man city all the money no glory, and to all who say im a delia apologist, ive been a norwich fan since 1983 and was there in munich and the san siro, i was there when we beat vitesse arneim, and just because i aint been around to see norwich play for the last year or to the NCISA meetings doesnt make me any less of a fan, (Have actually been very busy in 2 different countries in a troubled time so sorry if i find the appointment as not the greatest piece of bad news to have happened in these last 3 years of norwich football.) so smudger think im a cock because i agree with uea canary, i tell u wat u are quite welcome to tell me to my face if u like. just say when and where.[/quote]Do you really, really believe that? A man who has been sucessful throughout his career, who has masterminded the butchering of many of Europes finest. A man who can spot talent AND nuture egos. Do you really beleive he couldn''t have got us playing well enough to have just managed a couple more wins?

The acceptance of mediocrity reaches ever more floundering levels.........sometimes I really think we deserve to be a League One club.

I can''t beleive this.....he can''t hit the back of the net with a ball, let alone find the stairway to heaven with his dinkle......

[quote user="AJ"][quote user="astrodyne"]Do you all really think you are getting a reply from the hand of Mr Doncaster?[/quote]Emlpying those chickens and dropping bird seed all over his keyboard was the best thing he''s ever done![/quote]lol - imagine opening his office door to be confronted by that! Straight out a Gary Larson[:D]

Do you all really think you are getting replys from the hand of Mr Doncaster? (Apologies to those who may have read this on another thread[:)])

Do you all really think you are getting a reply from the hand of Mr Doncaster?

Brilliant! Well done Fellas and all you pups [:D]

[quote user="Kathy"]:( You''re so fickle. Last week you loved me. [/quote]Don''t worry Kathy he is just on the ''flop'' stage of his cycle......

I''m going to miss him - many is the cold and frosty night when his exhalations following one his chundering runs have kept me warm in the stands.......

[quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="Henry VIII"]Haha quite brilliant.Royal Jester for you now![/quote]Didn''t you notice Your Majesty that the "meat" the Butler referred to was wild venison (owned by the crown).[;)][/quote]...and no Court would be complete without a resident busybody.......[;)]

[quote user="nutty nigel"]I hope that Badger and Smudgers ridiculous reponses to Jims fair post don''t set the tone for the meeting.   [/quote]I''m sure it won''t, as unlike on here, there will doubtless be a chair to keep order. Are you coming Nutty?

[quote user="Badger"][quote user="The Butler"][quote user="Jim Smith"]http://new.pinkun.com/[/quote] I have now surprised you haven''t[;)] Urge everyone who can to attend [/quote]I have know problem with the meeting but doubt very much that it will be a representitive sample of fans opinions. Having seen the abuse meeted out to any that dare voice a contrary view on this message board it would take a far braver person than me to speak out in favour of Gunn etc.Wouldn''t a better way be a ballot of season ticket holders and members?[/quote]How can you state this and then slate Smudger et al, who have had the conviction to stand up for their beliefs despite once seeming to be in the minority?
