Well, good news. But hardly worth the fuss.

[quote user="olej"]TMM, radio norfolk are one of the best, they have audio of all post match interviews and alike on bbc sport, we''ll be one of the only league 1 clubs to do that. The only down side is that Chris Goreham conducts the interviews[/quote] I''m not criticising their match coverage, I''m crticising the fact that they either are blissfully unaware of a press conference which they are apparently conducting or are simply not telling us. If they said, "Norwich City news in 15 minutes..." then fine. But there''s nothing!

This is just stupid. We must be the only people in the world who''s local radio station will report on kids toys rather than a news conference concerning the local football club. Pathetic!

[quote user="First Wizard"][quote user="First Wizard"]I get the EDP daily.......and I haven''t read this in todays issue![:|][/quote] I mean about Hoolihan! [/quote]I think it was in the Evening News, although I could be wrong.

[quote user="Loan City Fc "]The Chirp will be along later to tell us all what a star this player is , nice to see us targetting the class to get us out of this league lmfao . [/quote] I''m actually quite hurt and betrayed you''ve not picked me, Loan City. I thought our special relationship was blossoming!

I''d offer £200k and go to around £300k.

Surprised if this is us. Looking at the club as it is, I think we have other areas in greater need of reinforcements than our central defence right now.

I think people have misunderstood this valuation. Of the £56mil, £20mil was the money ear marked for squad improvement, £16mil for shares, £16mil debt and £4mil loan repayments to directors. The value of the club, therefore, was £16mil - but in purchasing the shares, you trigger off clauses in debt and loans that require their payment too.

[quote user="Pabls pubic perm"]As far as I''m concerned Bryan Gunn starts with a clean slate for the forthcoming season. I didn''t agree with the board''s decision to appoint Bryan on a full-time basis, and couldn''t see the logic in appointing somebody who had failed over 19 matches, but what''s done is done. I shall be supporting Gunn, Crook, Butterworth and the team 100% next season and very much hope they can get their players firing on all cylinders once more. I must be mad, but I''m actually looking forward to the first match now. [/quote] Totally 100% agree [Y]

Anyone else without a source into Carrow Road?

Wade Small''s been released from Wednesday - no swap would be needed. And yes, I think he''d be a great signing.

[quote user="ACE"]You think he needs help because he put a couple of asterisked words in a forum post? Thank god you don''t run the country. [quote user="TheMarshmallowMonkey"][quote user="canaryspike7"] I bet the fans that didn''t claim their rebate were pleased at the nice little pat on the back the football club gave them yesterday. I claimed my rebate - not letting Gunn p*ss my money up the wall. Someone (Balham Canary or something like that) accused me of not being a true fan because I claimed my rebate. He said that I wasn''t putting my money where my mouth was. What he failed to note was that I have been a season ticket holder for years so have been putting my money where my mouth is season after season. Lets face it, the football club are not going to miss the money I claimed back, they will just waste it anyway. I didn''t want Gunn in charge therefore I don''t want him spending money that I''ve helped let him have. I say f**k off to any fans who call people who claimed their rebate "not true fans", I say f**k off to the club for making two desperate pleas with us to not claim our rebate. [/quote] I say lay off the language. If you can''t make a point without swearing, you need help. Otherwise agree entirely [Y] And I did not claim my rebate. [/quote][/quote] No, read my post carefully. I said: If you can''t make a point without swearing, you need help. Swearing is not necessary and against the rules on a forum like this.

At the end of the day, Juan is entitled to express his opinion. Yes, I think he''s out of order but he''s hardly the only one thinking what he''s saying is he?

They paid £7mil, we get 20% of any profit. So £3mil profit is £600k - but I think of that £600k we have to pass on 15% of that to Crewe don''t we? Anyway, really hope it happens, £600k is two or three decent league one players.

[quote user="GJP"]I''ll miss him. A good player who played with enthusiasm. Far better than some people on here give him credit for, that is for sure. [/quote]I''ve always thought players like Croft were part of our problem. They earnt their place on the back of a particular talent of which they were very good at, but struggled to make any sort of meaningful impact. Anyway, best wishes to Croft, I''m sad we didn''t get a fee for him, but I felt the time was right for him to go as well.

[quote user="MCWILL"] Read the article on the bbc website and saw this pic. Made me laugh loads! Lee Croft Player of the Season and Gurning Champion 08/09.[:P] [/quote]"Killer Bee mistakes Croft for pollen"

[quote user="bristol_canary"]pathetic..the lot of you.if more of you didnt claim your rebate then we wouldnt have to target these lower league players TheMarshmallowMonkey  - whats your problem?  dont read it if you dont like it, even more so dont bother replying[/quote]My problem, Bristol? Is that you seem to think it''s okay to come here and spout off complete fiction as fact. In any other area of society, you''d be branded a liar.

I have to say as someone who did not claim his rebate, I find it disgusting that people suddenley think they can tell people how they should or should not spend their money. It''s my money and I''ll spend it however I like.

Yet another stupid rumour from Bristol Canary. Can''t we get this guy banned?

[quote]"It''ll always be a blow when you lose your best players," said Ridsdale. "But there''ll be no point having good players here who are moaning." [/quote] I think he''s 100% spot on. At the end of the day, we have been relegated because we''ve got too many players on our books who don''t give a jot. I, for one, would let any player who does not want to be here move on, regardless of who they are. I sincerely hope Gunny has the bottle to look a player in the eye and tell them if they don''t want to give their all for NCFC to find a new club willing to pay a fair price for them. Anyone agree?

[quote user="JuanVelasco"][quote user="Jim Smith"] Sorry but: 1. Who is criticising the club for considering selling Hoolahan? - The many people who think that it is a foregone conclusion, I myself think that it is a foregone conclusion. 2. Where has it been said by anyone at the club they are considering selling Hoolahan? - Where has it been said that they are not considering Hoolohan? 3. I keep seeing people say on here that if he doesn''t want to play for us in league 1 he should go but where has Hoolahan said that? - Firstly he hasnt said that he wants to stay, there has been no pledge of loyalty. Secondly, I said this being hypothetical. If he wants to stay then good, and if he wants to go the let him good. I believe the use of the word ''If'' instead of ''As'' is probably key to that. [/quote][/quote] Sorry, Juan, but I think you''re talking rubbish. Nothing in football is a foregone conclusion. If the deal isn''t right for us or Wes, then it doesn''t happen. Everyone has their price at the club. If an offer comes in, it will be considered. That''s bloody obvious. Finally, no pledge of loyalty? So bloody what. That can be said about 3/4 of our squad. Doesn''t mean they''re all about to leave, does it? You''re making a fuss over nothing.

I totally agree Wiz. Cody is a diamond in the rough that needs nurturing carefully. He''s not ready to shoulder responsibility for scoring the goals we need to be promoted. We need two goal scoring strikers with Cody and Martin offering the competition and continuing their own development.

Agree entirely Wiz. As Hucks said, to place all this emphasis on a diamond in the rough is just going to turn him to coal. We need to sign a competant and prolific strike force capable of allowing Cody to continue his education without massive pressures.

750k+ and I''d let him go. But fact is we desperately lack creation and vision, and for Hoolahan''s faults, he does have that.
