    OP Spot on. Its blatantly obvious although that doesnt fully  excuse the woeful performances under this head coach.

    Biggest issue is that they will not sell their shares and no one will come in to back the company in a minority position. 

    The Board are in a conundrum. farke is good for their business plan but the product being 'entertainment' is no longer there.

    The Board can pull the wool over the supporters' eyes for so long with good performances and some semblance of competitive football, but when the entertainment value plummets and the 'model of self financing is so brutally exposed , it raises as to what is the point in following a failing business model masquerading as sport.

    Its over from a competitive sport perspective but very much alive as far as the 'business' is concerned. As Mello says, 'top 26....' thats the goal under this business plan. 

    I don't know why everyone is so upset - most have brought into the way this Club is being run and unless young Tom finds his business nous or wins several euro lotteries then long will it continue. Success for the shareholders and directors is solvency - never mind performances on the pitch - good ones are a bonus to keep the punters onside.  

    Remember 'Prudence with Ambition' - its clear that there is a much greater emphasis on Prudence. You cannot really blame the Delia and Michael for being cautious - what 80 year old do you know who would risk their entire wealth and more on one single company stock? 

    So long as Mr Farke achieves his objectives over the course of his contract -relegation, promotion, relegation, promotion and buys low and sells high his young and promising player stock, the coffers will fill and the Company stay afloat.  

    Its total bollox for true sports fans because without being able to financially compete in this league then you cannot compete on the pitch. I suspect that the Board didn't factor in the near total capitulation when they analysed the financial projections and this embarrassment and abject humiliation on a national scale. This will cause them a headache as they may have to part company with Mr Farke to appease the fans and carry on  the pretence that success on the pitch is the holy grail . That would be scapegoating on a grand scale and extremely disloyal as both he and Mr Webber are fulfilling their obligations under this model to the tee.

    We all know that the only way to compete in this league is to have v deep pockets. i have no idea who would want to buy a money pit that is a professional football club never mind anyone who has that level of wealth to consider investing in Norwich where half or more of your catchment area is in the North Sea.

    For now our Club is a shop window for skilful but raw talent to showcase themselves and seek big money moves - good for them and their registration owners. The recruitment policy is spot on as has been demonstrated last time around and this time. Sadly its the future so we'd better all get used to it and accept that we are no longer able to compete. Dont shoot the employees - its upstairs where change is needed.

    The tests are non intrusive and logistics manageable. the issue is whether anyone would be motivated enough to get a test so that they could return safely to the ground. There is currently a trial at one EPL club to determine how this may work and NCFC will be contacted Monday to see if they are interested in a wider scheme. Just interesting to get decent opinions from those who regularly attend matches.

    I would be interested to hear if anyone would return to Carrow Road or any other stadium if it were proven to be covid free. Tests are being conducted now on a new rapid 30 minute test where results are valid for up to 48 hours. So if you had to spend £15 on a test where a negative result that is sent to you mobile allowed you entry to the ground, where all the staff and press are tested too, would you be prepared to spend £15 and take the three minute test at a city location?
