  2. [quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="The Butler"][quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="BlyBlyBabes"][   Chairmen have come and gone  Boards have come and gone Chief Executives have come and gone. Managers have come and gone. Coaches have come and gone. Players have come and gone. Kitmen have come and gone. But the owners have remained the same. Your Harry Truman must be turning in his grave because at NCFC the buck evidently does not stop at the top. OTBC [/quote] This of course is a lie. The current owners took over the club nearly five years after that league table and we had already spent nearly three seasons in the Second Division and were at the time fighting relegation to the third.   [/quote] For those who would like the facts here they are:- In 1992–93, the inaugural season of the English Premier League, Norwich City led the league for most of the season, before faltering in the final weeks to finish third behind the champions, Manchester United, and Aston Villa F.C.. The following season Norwich played in the UEFA Cup for the first time, defeating Vitesse Arnhem of the Netherlands, and Bayern Munich of Germany, before going down to Inter Milan, 2–0, over two legs. Mike Walker quit as Norwich City manager in January 1994, to take charge of Everton where he would be sacked after less than a year. He was replaced by 36-year-old first team coach John Deehan, who in his new role would be assisted by 34-year-old midfielder Gary Megson. Norwich City finished the 1993-94 season 12th in the Premier League and during the 1994 close season sold 21-year-old striker Chris Sutton to Blackburn Rovers for a then British record fee of £5 million. By christmas 1994, Norwich City were seventh in the Premiership and looked good bets for a UEFA Cup place. But the club went into freefall and won just one of their final 20 Premiership fixtures, plummeting to 20th place and relegation in the final table. Just before relegation was confirmed, Deehan resigned as manager and his assistant Megson took over until the end of the season. Martin O''Neill, who had taken Wycombe Wanderers from the Conference to Division Two with successive promotions, was appointed as Norwich City manager in the summer of 1995. He lasted just six months in the job before moving to Leicester City, and Gary Megson was appointed Norwich manager for the second time in eight months - on a temporary basis. Megson remained in charge until the end of the season before leaving the club, while chairman Robert Chase also stepped down after protests from supporters who complained that he kept selling the club''s best players and was to blame for their relegation. Indeed, between 1992 and 1996 Norwich offloaded key players including Robert Fleck, Jeremy Goss, Chris Sutton, Tim Sherwood, Efan Ekoku and Mark Bowen. Just four seasons after finishing third in the Premiership and beating Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup, Norwich had finished 15th in Division One. T.V. cook Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn-Jones took over the majority of Norwich City''s shares, and Mike Walker was re-appointed as the club''s manager. But he was unable to repeat the success achieved during his first spell, and quit two seasons later with Norwich languishing around the middle of Division One. His successor Bruce Rioch lasted two seasons and departed in the summer of 2000, with promotion still yet to be achieved. Rioch''s successor Bryan Hamilton lasted in the job for six months before making way for assistant manager Nigel Worthington. When Nigel Worthington took over as Norwich City manager in January 2001, the club was 20th in Division One and in real danger of sliding into the bottom half of the league for the first time since the 1960''s. But just 18 months later, Norwich qualified for the Division One playoff final and only a defeat on penalties against Birmingham City prevented them from gaining promotion to the Premiership. Norwich just missed out on the playoffs in 2002-03 but were crowned Division One champions at the end of the 2003-04 season. After nine years and six managers, So not as Bly or Nutty states. [/quote] This is simply not true. Geoffrey Watling brought Chases shares. Martin Armstrong and Watling appointed Mike Walker as manager. Smith & Jones then joined the board in return for a couple of mil in a similar way to the Turners did a few years ago. It wasn''t until 18 months later that he sold the lot to Smith and Jones. By that time we were well into our third season in Division Two and looking extremely likely to be relegated to Division Three.   [/quote]   Who Cares!!! The only debate that should be happening at the moment is how many INFLATABLES we can get to SAARRFFEnd

  10. [quote user="Gingerpele"] I don''t go to away games atm, i would like to, but work/money (and the fact if i didn''t work at all  on the saturday, i wouldn''t get paid probably...so therefore would have no money for away games anyway.....) if it cost £30 overall, i might be more inclined, but when its £15/20 a ticket (i think...) and £30ish for the coach, i just don''t really feel like going..... Next season will be the tricky one as hopefully i will be at Canterbury Uni, so its 2 train journeys and a tube/taxi/bus whatever (from one station to another in London) to get back to Norwich..... it will be the cost of getting back, i will still get a season ticket, (my grandad pays anyway :P ) and my borther or sister will go (or someone else, if he pays the extra at induvidual games, he has done that before once). People who have the time and money to go to away games should, but you don''t have to be a great Norwich fan, and i don''t really see how you rate one over another (well the club would probably say the best fan is the one who spends the most money :P but the person who spends the most money probably has the most money to spend....) [/quote] We don''t want to hear your bloody life story!
