    The majority on this board where singing Delia''s praises not so long ago, claiming that the Stowmarket 2 had secured our long term future by clearing our debts

     

    What the majority of you have failed to realise is that she also stated that as majority shareholders they would also not be prepared to invest any funds into the club in the future - we all know outside investment is shunned if it means that the pair have to give up 100% control of the club by diluting there shareholding below the magic 50%

     

    A rough estimate of the surplus funds we have available to spend is around £40M  (wages last season £30M doubled on promotion to Prem to £60M - a year in Prem worth £100M)

     

    What do the board intend to do with this money, I am assuming a substantial amount has been put to one side into a rainy day fund for hard times in the future leaving Neil with probably less to work with than Adams wasted last summer

     

    One can only hope Neil can continue his magic and we take the prem by storm but without investment in the defence and reinforcement down the left flank I feel we will struggle

     

    The Boards financial policies scared off Lambert a few years ago and I sincerely hope Neil will not go the same way

     

    I genuinely believe we need knew owners who have a football and business brain if we are to progress, we will go absolutely no where under the current ownership

    Fingers crossed for this season - what a wasted opportunity if we go straight back down [/quote]

     

    A well deserved ''Huzzar'' from me Newton. [Y]

    [quote user="OldRobert"][quote user="Robyn Loxley"]This new mythical forum was only ever promised in a vain attempt to halt the mass exodus to the superb Norwich Talk site. ....transparent behaviour by Archant. [:@][/quote]

    Mass exodus initially Wiz, but very quickly reversed as you well know.  Disappointing for the supporters of Norwich Talk, but it has not succeeded in taking over from the Pink ''Un, you are in cloud cuckoo land if you think that.  Looking at the number of members who post, and the number of posts daily, the stats are very disappointing even allowing for the close season.  I am not always a lover of this forum, but there is no comparison in popularity between the two, so stop pretending there is.

    The comparison is Rob, personal grudges, trolls and spats are rife on here, on Norwich Talk they''re not, ''bigger'' isn''t everything as you well know!! [;)]

    [quote user="EPT.Sports"]He was probably peeved off about your bids. If you''d of started at £4/5m I doubt we''d have heard much. All that did was to alert all the other clubs, which isn''t helpful for you[/quote]

     

    Sell him to them then ..............if you can, and btw, if you think getting out of the chumps is a doddle well good luck with that too![:|]

    [quote user="alartz"]Listen right. RvW is the WORST striker we''ve had and we were ripped off. Period[/quote]

     

    I really do hope that Ricky gets a second bite of the cherry with us like Seb and Wes did, he seems a really genuine nice bloke so fingers crossed tightly. [:|]

    [quote user="nutty nigel"]Stephen Graham is the contact for disabled fans. Many of those seats are not on the online plan. Not sure what the casual availability is but you need to make contact with Stephen [/quote]

     

    Totally agree Nutty, this is one area where the clubs attitude is faultless imo. [Y]

    [/quote]

    I bet Stephen gets confused when you ring him up Wiz or does he know you by just the one identity ? [;)]

    But you don''t go to games Wiz. [*-)]

    [/quote]

    But I still buy match tickets for family, my regular feasts at Yellows plus Club merchandise etc plus the odd game or two.

    And it gives me a sense of belonging to the ''Norwich Family'' .................and a good discount! [;)]

    [/quote]

    Blimey I am getting confused with these multiple identities Wiz. [:P] I hope the DWP don''t have the same trouble or is that how a poor old bugger like you can afford to treat the family ? [;)][/quote]


    Seems like Wiz is going back in time.....won''t be long before he''s back to "Jimbo Canary" once again. [:D]

    [quote user="Canarywayne"]Before I start to question Alex Neil as a premiership manager, to me he all he has done is got a side that should have walked a poor championship into a position that was bare minimum at the start of the season. I know I will get moaned at for this, but he had a chance of automatic promotion and blew it when it mattered, and lets face it, we nearly blew it against the binners, so I just have a feeling that all the hype is just that and if it looks like we will struggle, we need to make the change sooner rather than later and not repeat the mistake we made with Hughton.[/quote]

    [quote user="Big Vince"]I have a selection of problems with them........... One is that they put a clause in the manager''s contract to say that Norwich City MUST get knocked out of the cups at the first or second hurdle. This is WHY Ipswich Town have one more FA Cup than we do. They have no ambition to win any major trophies at all so therefore Ipswich Town will always be one League Championship and one European trophy ahead of us so long as they hold sway at the club. Money is supposed to be a means to an end (ie. major trophies) NOT an end in itself, which is the trap that you and many others in the world of modern football have fallen into................[/quote]

    Are you just daft?

    Why have you changed your name on here Wiz seems odd seeing you as something else?


    Me thinks you''re posting more on that other forum because you''ve left carrowroad.net  which you always used to advertise on here a lot [;)] I do read the other one but its quiet compared to this one and only seems to have about a dozen regular posters.


    Back to the topic, I really don''t get why its taking a big company like Archant 9 months to move this forum to new software, just wonder if when Pete first mentioned it, that it was an idea  which he hasn''t had any support for from his employees?

    Sorry CA but City Talk is my favourite site by far, no politics or bitching trolls for starters plus every poster gets total respect on there.

    That I find attractive.
