Re: Steve Kabba? but he didnt score in 8 games at this level last season!!!     Yeah but he''s only 28 and had a good spell with the blades 2 years ago.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/watford/8052050.stm If he can find some of his Sheff U form he couls be a good signing.  

@Canary Wunderboy. 1:  Taking advice from him was terrible advice for sure, but she was not alone. What about Foulger and Munby? The Turners? There is also plenty of evidence to suggest he was instrumental in many of the clubs ''issues''. Not least sitting on the board of the Football League Interactive and giving away the clubs internet rights to a company in Kent who care little about Norwich fans. A company that was formed out of FLI members to meet ''ethical'' requirements. An awful product and one that is not even available to all exiled City fans. A disgrace. I have personally communicated with Doncaster over this issue and believe that Delia probably has no idea of the details. 2: Cullum is a billionaire, I refuse to believe that he wouldn''t pay for her shares. But who knows. One thing I''m certain about, she is not in this to make money. There is no money to be made in football. Never was. Roman Abrahmovich has spent 700 million with nothing to show for it. Not even sell out crowds. She got involved because she loves NCFC. She just doesn''t have the money to take us where we need to be, or expect to be! 3: Same reason the board held on to Worthy for so long, too damn nce I''m guessing. No ruthless attitude. They put Doncaster on the board! All good points on this thread and food for thought. Now I must do some work!

What 20 million mate. There was never an offer, he looked into it and decided he didn''t have th  blood for it. He is a billionaire! What does he care about a few mil in shares and 22 of debt if he has 20 for players? He opened his trap in public and didn''t have the balls to back it up. What I think anyway.  

@ Canary Wunderboy.. 1) I disagree. When we got promoted, all that money for going up would have been thrust straight into the transfer budget if we were serious about staying up. Instead we were greeted with the "Little Norwich Adventure" trip, not to mention her appalling drunken episode on the pitch. True ambition would have been shown at that point, instead the club as a whole treated it as nothing more than an exciting period of history with relegation as a certainty. 2) If Delia doesn''t have the money to compete then why won''t she leave? I don''t buy this "nobody wants to buy the club", the moment a Norfolk billionaire showed interest the board put a brick wall around the club and refused to negotiate, Delia regards NCFC as her personal plaything, he party to run. Which is bad news for us fans, as the woman has about as much footballing expertise as a wooden cricket bat. You only have to look at the managerial appointments and recent footballing ethos such as loan players and off-pitch investment to see this. 3) No, he stepped down. He was probably under pressure to do so, but Delia didn''t suddenly come to her senses and kick him out, otherwise she''d have done it years ago when it was shown that the man lacked any sort of footballing knowledge. He was a lawyer, a very well paid one at that. And even if she did realise his advice was flawed, how fdo you explain why she''s decided to make Gunn''s appointment ANYWAY without finding someone to replace Doncaster who may just have a different opinion? 1: How much of that was based on the advice Doncaster was giving? She did not make the decisions on her own. She isn''t Richard Branson. 2:  I addressed my thoughts on this already. How do you know? To leave would ''leave'' a 2 mil investment hole this season and serve no purpose unless someone else wants to buy in. 3: I don''t believe that and I am sure not many will. The Chief Exec of any failed company gets canned. Difference here is that they made the mistake of putting him on the board, making it difficult to do earlier. Who would step down and leave a 200,000 quid job? Just quit and walk away. With no job to go to?  For the good of the club? Doncaster? Come on. He wasn''t even a Norwich fan. ..and to the second point, the remaining board members made the decision. One I think is right. No more change. We have had enough over the last few years. Who says Doncaster is being replaced? From MWJ''s comments I gather that he isn''t. But I am sure more board members wil be added. All good points. We all have different opinions and have shown we can air them without calling each other names. Good stuff.    

CT Said... 1) no ambition from them which has left this club rotten to the core 2) the cringeworthy statements that SHE has made about ''little norwich city'' which has left us a laughing stock 3) Not even speaking to Cullum especially after his PUBLIC INTEREST - this point applies to other potential investors im sure (even if they havent been public) Its just frustrating is all. It is their club, of course it is- it just feels as though it should belong to the fans. But it doesnt. Ok. Let’s take a run at this. 1) We should not confuse ''lack of ambition'' with ''lack of money''. Delia Smith wants to see Norwich City in the Premier League as much as anyone does. In this World of football, going to the EPL and staying there involves rich Arabs, Russians and Americans. Delia simply cannot play this game. She doesn''t have the cash. I believe she is highly ambitious, like all fans. I am sure she wishes she''d never bothered in the first place. Delia Smith takes advice from the board and the Chief Exec. Who just got fired. He didn''t step down, he was fired for failure. That was Delia''s doing. She is finally realizing that the advice, financial and football has been very bad indeed. Doncaster is gone now and we need to see what other changes take place before getting carried away. We also need to look back at pre-Delia Norwich City as look at the 12,000 crowds and stands that were falling apart. 2) Ok, Delia is sometimes awkward and really should let a spokesman do the talking for her. I grant you that, but does this deserve abuse on message boards? Nasty comments, some so disgusting I can''t believe that people could think them, let alone write them. I am not great public speaker either, are you? 3) Right here, I declare that I..Bigus want to buy Norwich City...Are you listening EDP? I want to run NCFC.  Neither you, nor I know the facts about Peter Cullum. We cannot judge. I was under the impression that they had met about the issue. But regardless. Without the facts, it’s wrong to make up scenarios with no substantial evidence. Cullum has a large mouth and says he wants to buy the club? Come on, the man has BILLIONS and he argues over 22 mil in debt and some shares? I believe that he inquired and realized that he doesn''t have the blood for it or want the burden or the abuse, and ran a mile. Or did he? Point is I don''t know and neither do people inside the club. Only the board know. If it was their club, the fans would have no say. And we all do. Worthington, Roeder, Doncaster! The fans opinions are taken in to account and you will have to travel a long way to find a club that is so accessible to its supporters. Here in the states, the sports teams could not give a rats about the fans, the TV money and merchandise outweighs ticket sales by so much that they just raise the prices at will. The Giants even introduced a seat license and season ticket holders who have been going for 40 years have to find 20,000 dollars a seat on top of increased prices for tickets per game. A license to just have the right to buy a ticket! That''s a mortgage to take a family of 4 to a game. I digress, the facts here, are as follows... We have a new manager, it''s done, a decision has been made and now everyone should back him and get behind the team. There are NO major investors sniffing around Norwich City currently. The Turner''s 2 mill shortfall will have to be found again this year and that will probably come from Delia. The Chief Executive has been canned and he was responsible for a lot more than you think. People on here aimed abuse at him, he did a bad job, fans wanted him gone and low and behold. He is gone. Some people are never happy and now need to turn that anger at someone else. Will the changes bring success? Maybe, maybe not. But I personally can''t comment on that until I see what happens, how we do next season and how the board changes affect the club as a whole. -Bigus P.S I will now wait for the army of teenagers who are sure to type derogatory and childish abuse below. Show me how eloquent you can be.      

Ok let’s get to the meat of this. Please list the reasons why Delia has to go CT.  I’m not starting an argument, I am genuinely interested in yours/others opinion. List what makes her the one who has to go and not any other board member. Do you not think Doncaster held any responsibility in guiding the board as Chief Executive? What advantage do you see of a complete stranger taking her place on the board, even if that person was given Delia''s shares for nothing. Let’s see if we can have some constructive and reasoned points below without irrational abuse. -Bigus  

@CT There is criticizing and then there is ranting "out now".."get out" and a bunch of other un-constructive comments that opine without offering a solution. That annoys me. There is a HUGE difference. Delia ''getting out'' right now would do the club no good whatsoever. I don''t see mention of a back-up plan...Just anger vented with abuse. I was merely pointing out that I don''t see Loan City or anyone else slinging cash at the club.  

 Today, 8:09 AM Loan City Fc Joined on 13/07/2006 Posts 1,270 Delia calls for unity Shortly after having appointed a manager she knew was going to split the fan base down the middle , time to get rid of the old drunk who has killed this club .   I look forward to reading about your 12 million quid investment.

I was born and bred in Eaton.....I''m just glad the majority of Norwich supporters are not like you.  Pathetic. Abusing others from behind your keyboard because they have a different opinion to you. Why don''t you do real Norwich fans a favor, take a bath and drop in the toaster. UP THE CITY!  

Ryan 85k. I live here in the states and watch the MLS. It''s a league of old men and young inexperienced college leavers, BUT there are a lot of good players from South America who are not able to play in Europe due to international clearance. Fredy Montero of Seattle would not look out of place in the Premier League. Overall the football is League One. However, some teams are much better than others. Montero can be found here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZigiXFnbU

He looks good against MLS teams and that leagi eis league one.

Mike Walker. Nuff said.

Well said Super Canary.

I wouldn''t. They will hand you a jump suit, a plastic bucket and a pair on sandles upon arrival.

Who is in favor of sending you 3 to Guantánamo?

First Wizard Joined on 04/10/2003 Far beyond the misty mountains Posts 10,416 NOW cancel your season ticket! Its the only language the damn cook and her old man understands, failure to do this now, today, in protest against the suicidal appointment of Gunn, will result in us becoming a non league club in two years. You have a chance to save our club from a Gunn induced oblivion, please act now.     Will you be cancelling yours First Wizard?

Get in! Up the City.    

@NYC. Some people will never be happy and just love to moan.

Truth squad update. Many do.

Hilarious. You are a real supporter I spose? One who wont go next season? On yer bike. Childish comments from the crib, watch out, toys incoming, duck. I am 33 years old and been a City fan my whole life. When I come to a home game it involves a small fortune and 3500 miles. Negative supporters like you should stay away. Go and support Man U. They win every week.    

I shall be going next year and spending about a thousand bucks for every home game I attend. Thats because I love NCFC.    

 Loan City Fc wrote: "Never was a legend just an average keeper who gained a lot of sympathy and has been playing on it ever since."What a load of nonsense. In his day he could have played for most Prem teams. As for sympathy? I have never read such a load of rubbish. The sooner people back him now, the better. He is the manager and thats that. Sniping, moaning and insulting is a pointless excercise and of no help to the team.

good.

Canary Cherub, I am suggesting that a post-Doncaster World will be a brighter one and clearly point out that I expect more change in the boardroom. As for Gunn, I would like him to get the job. This club needs stability and no more outsiders bringing change. That will set us back years. We need a manager here already, who knows and undertsands the youth set up, the budget and the supporters. Another outsider is Roeder all over again and after whats happened since 2006, the fans certainly will not give an outsider the time he will need to achieve promotion, likely 3 years.
