  1. [quote user="KiwiScot"]Guys!!! We are having a cup run!West Ham V ChelseaMan Utd V Man CityArsenal V ReadingLiverpool V TottenhamBristol V HullLeeds V NorwichNewcastle V PrestonSouthampton V Sunderland[/quote] Dont Jinx it!
  2. Ok here it goes you can have one However The Club will be renamed Red Bull Norwich The kit colours will change to red and blue The club badge will change the canary will still be there but relegated to a tiny motif under the huge bull logo. Ok this probably wont happen but my point is be careful what you wish for
  3. Although he would be a cracking signing - £12mill+ for a player that is 30 in 2 weeks is a huge amount of money even in this day and age. You cant blame the club for being reluctant, hopefully they will release the purse strings for Assombalonga who should have more years in him and wont retire or leave on a free in a couple of years
  4. Hes certainly a proven championship player, Could be useful but would he want to come back when he was hardly played while here
  5. I think they are reluctant to risk splashing too much cash on a player. RVW - Cost a fortune for a club our size and scored 2 goals. Naismith cost the club a huge fee and has yet to show amazing things. Cant blame them for being a tad reluctant
  6. 1. Alex Neil largely happy with squad and happy to go with it 2. Players been bid for accepted and talks with management break down (manager immaturity or they don’t like attitude) 3. Players bid for but turned down and club refuse to pay a over inflated fee. 4. Board refuse to sanction transfer fees
  7. [quote user="Thecanaryfan"][quote user="Dave"]I work at Springwood High School where he went. Therr are several cuttings regarding him around, hes had a few trials with British clubs in MLS close season and none have ever worked for him.[/quote]Is he a supporter by chance?[/quote] Of NCFC?

  9. [quote user="93vintage"]Some people might crow about player sales and financial problems under Chase, but at least we never ended up fielding a team of stuffed with loanees and almost going out of business as we did under the current owners.Yes, Chase was a bad character and hit major cash-flow problems through over-expanding the club''s infrastructure and poor debt management. But in between his exit and the arrival of McNally/Bowkett things eventually got much worse, leading to near bankruptcy in 2009 and having to virtually buy a whole new team.[/quote] Are you serious - "Chase didnt run a club that almost went out of business" Where were you on 21st March 1996 wherr thanks to his dodgy business dealings and money being pocketed by his family firm doing over priced building work on CR we were minutes from going out of business. An issue that took well over 15 years to put right. Your right about the academy in someways but those we did produce would have been out the door a lot quicker had Chase been around.
  10. There were many chase sales West of Carrow I was just responding to those of the opening poster
  11. lets compare shall we Chases Sales Watson - Sold for big money at the time no swuad investment lined chases pocket Woods - Sold for big money at the time no squad investment lined chases pocket Bruce -Sold for big money at the time no squad investment lined chases pocket Phelan -Sold for big money at the time no squad investment lined chases pocket Townsend - Sold for big money at the time no squad investment lined chases pocket Fleck - wanted out actually spent half on replacement rest lined chases pocket Gordon- sold for big money at the time no squad investment lined chases pocket Sutton - sold for record 5 million replacement cost 800k rest lined chases pocket Fox - About 10% spent on replacement rest lined chases pocket Delia Sales Eadie - Sold to help balance books thanks to the mess chase left us in - got a good fee for someone on treatment table on regular basis Bellamy - Sold to help balance books thanks to the mess chase left us in Ashton - Pretty much forced his way out after it was obvious we wouldnt get promoted Earnshaw - Had release clause in contract thst he could move to above division Green - wanted out to go to prem and further England ambitions contract was running down and he wouldnt have signed another Snodgrass - wanted to stay in prem wanted out Johnson - ok that will always be a mystery i''ll give you that one Grabban - Wanted out and was pretty cr@p to be honest cracking fee received Redmond - Loyal to us in 1st relegation, wanted out in 2nd wasnt always a starter so not a bad sale
  12. I would rather the club took time to get the right CEO in, rather than rush and end up with another Neil Doncaster
  13. Hope not proven coach but not a great management record
  14. Good choice. AN is a good young manager but some experience needed around him, happy with this. Every manager needs a good back room team, if you look at the years when sir Alex failed to win title an Man Utd it was normally a year when he lost his assistant
  15. Gary O''Neil was offered a new deal and turned it down, as good as released good player but at 33 probably into his last seasons. You do not know how much we are being paid for the sponsor deal.
  16. Good :-) Hopefully we don''t have huge cut outs on the new shirt to accommodate it though
  17. Its in income for the club at the end of the day. The company could be considered bigger than Jarrold as they have a presence in several places in UK and Eire. You rarely attract huge corporations for stand sponsorship as they are hardly mentioned outside the ground. A stadium may be mentioned in the press but how often do you hear a stand mentioned in a match report!
  18. This negativity is getting beyond a joke. Lets look at some of the points Taking up players extra years on contracts - ok some of them are not regulars but it doesn''t always mean they will stay, but we could command a fee for them. Current squad - apart from released players No one has left and nobody has come in yet, and nobody is likely to until after Euro 2016. Ok we have weaknesses but there is plenty of time to address these and these negotiations are probably already happening. Jerome and Whits contracts - Both players may not cut it in the Prem but both are good championship players and could easily help us get us promoted. There are many players in this category, of we get promoted again chances are they may be sold. South stand sponsorship - Its an income for the club at the end of the day. The new sponsor could actually be considered bigger than Jarrold as they have branches nationwide. The stand sponsor really does not matter as outside Carrow Road it will hardly be mentioned. New shirt sponsor - We don''t know who it is yet, the actual amount we received from Aviva was tiny compared to many clubs that were in the prem last season, including clubs who could be considered the same size as us. New Chief Exec - I would rather they take their time and get the right man/woman rather than rush an appointment and we end up with another Neil Doncaster. Come on people lets get behind the club and not keep showing these negative vibes.
  19. Despite the rumours I very much doubt it will be 888 The club has a huge tie in with corals and they are unlikely to do big business with a rival
  20. Good luck to him if he gets it One of footballs genuine nice guys If he has future manager aspirations i hope hes succesful
  21. [quote user="Duncan Edwards"]Works for Betfred would be my guess.[/quote] Spot on!!!
  22. That would just be daft like the idea that south would be incorporated
  23. To let any player go to Villa, Newcastle, Derby or Brighton would be foolish
