Late 80''s and early 90''s teams are still the best Norwich City teams ever.Despite how far we have come over the last two years, we are a long way off matching the football of those teams.

[quote user="PurpleCanary"][quote user="Dick of PH Rag"]Not a case of Delia getting lucky with recruiting David McNally then?[/quote]   Pure luck. You''re quite right. I was actually round at her place when she got a bit tiddly (it was a nice Chablis) and put on a blindfold and stuck a pin in the London telephone directory and it picked out McNally''s name. Total fluke. Absolutely nothing to do with her and Wynn Jones having years of experience in football and loads of contacts able to steer them in the right direction. Nothing to do with them interviewing McNally and working out for themselves that he might be half-decent at the job, and picking him ahead of all the other candidates. [/quote]Maybe you are correct Purple?  So it wasn''t a pure fluke, but that leaves me with another question. Why did Delia and Michael Wynn Jones let Doncaster and Munby run/ruin the club for so many years when they had such a wealth of experience in football and significant contacts to steer us in the right direction?

I think that Rudd and Steer are more than capable of stepping up to the first team when needed and not letting us down.I expect that one or both of our young keepers will be challenging for the Number 1 shirt over the next year or two.  We are very lucky to still be producing such quality keepers through our youth set up.I would rather not waste the money on loaning a keeper unless we have another injury to Ruddy or Steer.

Like I said, undesirables. They must have been if the long arm of the law involved themsleves, right?Although, I do know that West Midland''s Police have a reputation for being more trouble than most at football matches.

[quote user="CantonsHero"]2 were in the WBA end and got kicked out thanks to Morison![/quote]+ 2 undesirables, clearly no better than a couple of Scouse Scally''s causing trouble in the away end, tut, tut!

2,800 + 100 binners + 100 cook haters deemed unworthy of following our club by many on here no doubt?

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="A. Purist."][quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Dick of PH Rag"][quote user="BroadstairsR"] I agree with everything Old Shuck wrote. Everything registered with my opinion and thoughts.   How can you possibly be so anti Delia. She has a life to lead outside of football (successfully) and has, over the years, been a marvellous benefector to this club. Maybe she isn''t an Abramovich, but I personally am content with that. They have an anonymous figure at our beloved Town who fails to come up with the expected money, I would rather have a passionate pissed-up Delia any day.   Stephen Fry, marmite man, hasn''t done anything wrong, so why pick on him? Seems a bit predjudised really.   It was easy to be anti a two or three seasons ago, but nowadays it goes against the grain. Back to Old Shuck''s post, I suppose.    [/quote]Marcus Evans invested a substantial amount of money at Ipswich, but unfortunately for them allowed poor managers to spend it for him.Similarities with what happened here for many years prior to McNally and Lambert?[/quote] Really?   That''s a very interesting comparison. Time I tell I guess. But I would have thought Evans would have zero chance of attracting anyone of the calibre of McNally or Lambert to his godforsaken club.   Where''s Bluumike these days. Maybe he could shed some light. [/quote]And City were such a great prospect when luring Lambert away from Colchester?City got lucky this time while Ipswich haven''t. I seem to remember though that Ramsay and Robson did wonders at Portman Road while we were languishing amongst the also rans.Things could change very quickly and crowing about a manager (no doubt) soon to move on is very foolish indeed.[/quote] Are you Bluemike? Or maybe related to him?   There''s a huge difference between our club and that lot down the road. The likes of you and Bluemike wouldn''t understand. We haven''t had hundreds of thousands of pounds turn up in the underworld whilst we ripped off the local community. We don''t take the easy option when things go wrong without a care to the people who are the clubs lifeblood. We recover in the right way which is why everyone in football respects our club and it''s owners.   You''d probably work for them but people with the integrity of McNally and Lambert wouldn''t.     [/quote]Surely a step up from not working at all, or possibly not?Are you seriously trying to claim that NCFC were a more attractive proposition than Ipswich currently are, when we were sitting in the 3rd Division with the technical genius Bryan Gunn as the manager our board were placing their trust in to rejuvenate an ailing club?

How sad and pathetic.

Will it be better than this place Jim?  NCFC fans are sure in need of an up to date website that is better than anything we currently have.

[quote user="Joanna Grey"][quote user="PurpleCanary"] [quote user="Sports Desk Pete"]Lambert''s been knocked back on the loan front.Tierney trained yesterday. De Laet still out.[/quote]   That at least answers one question. We can get loans in, either because we are dumping one of our loanees or more probably because the rules really do allow more than two at any one time.  [/quote] No, pinkun reporting is crap. [/quote]hush now Joanna, you would not want to be another banned poster now would you?
