[quote user="TIL 1010"]The EGM was held at St Andrews Hall and attended by approx 450 shareholders. Chase lost the vote on a show of hands 150 to 100 with 250 sitting on their hands ( These are approximate figures ). He was saved by a count of actual shareholding and obviously his numbers plus that of his supporters was more than those of the 150 or so who voted on the show of hands.You can do whatever you like as far as EGM''s and Delia are concerned but as she and MWJ hold over 60% a massive show of hands to oust her will be fruitless.

They held a hastily convened emergency general meeting at St Andrew’s Hall, with the skinheads outside chanting “Robert Chase is a homosexual” – its proceedings rendered irrelevant in advance by the fact that Mr Chase already owned most of the voting shares. Highlight of the gathering was an impassioned speech from the floor by an elderly woman decked out in yellow and green favours. “What I want to know,” she demanded, fixing her gaze on the Chase satrapy, “is who are yer?‘ It was a good question. Nobody, eyeing Mr Chase and his line of sheepish cohorts, seemed to know the answer. Mr Chase remained impassive, like some trade union baron in the old, or perhaps not so old, Tammany Hall days, happily aware that he will get his way despite the squeakings from the gallery.

The EGM took place in 1987/88 season. Those who subsequently lauded Chase for the the next six years must have been pleased they lost the vote. There were rumblings about doing the same thing in 2009 and the next six years embarrassed those protagonists too. [;)]

I don''t believe Chase held most of the voting shares but he was confident of maintaining support from his "line of sheepish cohorts". I''ve heard that phrase before somewhere...

Anyone else buying the utter horse$hit that the feckwit boy Vince and his halfwit sidekick Birdcrap are peddling?

[Bonzo 198]

Not sure it''s the horse variety STFU, my guess is that big vince has filled his romper suit.

[Jack Flash 13]

I think the heading says it as it is -

"A catalogue of failings by Big Vince". A host of weak arguments to support his anti Norwich City posts are indeed a catalogue of failings.

[nutty nigel 7,533]

Vinny''s no Binny Wolfie. He knows too much about us. Although I suspect it maybe second hand. The binners have to bluff their way through and give themselves away through that. I just enjoy it for what it is[:D]

[/quote]Now more like 51 or 52 per cent, given that Foulger bought a large tranche of new shares a few years ago, but the point remains generally true. That said, there are circumstances in which Smith and Jones would not be able to stand in the way of a takeover offer, even holding a majority of the shares, and even with Foulger''s additional backing. But these circumstances haven''t happened yet.

Maybe the boy Vin will leave a selection on Rays Funds to help ZLF and Jellytot.

[/quote]Nice idea, Nutty. Vince, fancy leaving a selection on Rays Funds to help raise money for the CSF? Surely a no-brainer if you have the best interests of the club at heart?

Not true.

If you were at the EGM in 2001 where there was a motion of no confidence in Bob the Grocer, you will remember that Wynnie stated before the vote that the entire board would resign if they lost the vote on a simple show of hands.

So to his credit, Wynnie would accept a democratic outcome to a confidence vote rather than the more undemocratic use of the block of shares in his name and Delia''s to keep them in power.

[quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="Big Vince"]Went down like a lead balloon with me, but everyone else found it funny. Must have been a clappy happer audience[/quote]Why didn''t you question him then Vinnie, were you scared? Perhaps you''re not as big as you''d have us believe.......[/quote]

At that point I was willing to give the boy the benefit of the doubt given that a ball had not then been kicked.

But of course subsequent events have changed all that:

The new contract for Martin

The signing of dirt cheap foreign imports who are not good enough

The total failure to strengthen the defence in particular

The continuing obsession with signing midfielders

The signing of Husband

Selling the boy Murphy 1 on the cheap (£3 million short)

Letting Godfrey go on loan

Signing the Lincoln boy so that he can''t play for 6 months

Becoming obsessed with everything German

Failure to have British coach in the coaching team as he originally promised

Continuing lack of continuity ie. letting the boy Money go

Abject failure to bring in a proven Championship player, especially in the heart of defence

Given many of these behaviours are so unchanged from last season and the seasons before, the only conclusion to draw is that Delia & Wynnie make all the decisions in the darkness of the backroom whilst putting the likes of the boy Webber in front of the microphone to speak on their behalf.

[quote user="Essjayess"]Vince, i really dont know what this catalogue of failings is all about and why you are so anti Delia and Michael, frankly i dont care. Reality is, despite the highs and lows, the excitements and disapointments, the changes in personel at the club, and everything else, in the last decade including the low period of L1, two things have remained constant, Delia and Michael being at the head, and a club who have fans that fill the stadium season after.season.That, at the end of the day, says all you need to know, that you are in a very small minority. Stop being so miserable, go support your club with a smile on your face, and be thankful Norwich City are who they are. Delia and Michael have made this club something very special, that goes way beyond  financial factors and what division we happen to be in. Take DF and his German staff, and the German players who have come here..they very quickly got immersed into our part of the world and our club. I, and im sure the vast  majority of fans also, have taken all these guys into our hearts as another new chapter in the history of our beloved club.So yes, its more than about finances, more than about what division we are in, for me its more about the uniqueness of NCFC and the social aspect of it all, a definite identity, which Delia and Michael have protected, and indeed nurtured, in the 20 years they''ve been at the helm. No amount of money could have bought that.[/quote]

So you are saying that NCFC is more of a social enterprise than a professional football club?

Well, if that is the case then Delia & Wynnie should come out and say so publicly so that those of us who thought it was just about the football, can cut up our membership cards and stop wasting money going to watch games.

As far as I am concerned it is has got everything to do with what league you are in and whether you are winning trophies.

But thanks for your insight as it explains why Norwich have done nothing in the cups since Delia & Wynnie took over.

It is not about the football. Lifelong socialists have used the club as a vehicle to embed their social agenda at the club.

Okay, keep me informed of when and where and which of the socialists will be in attendance.

[lake district canary 4,531]

Bitter and twisted and with a huge chip on your shoulder, Vinny, you are worse than any binner.   And what has politics got to do with anything?   In what way is the club being run on socialist lines?  Pleases enlighten us.  I understood that we were being run on good business lines, living within means, protecting the future of the club by setting up a trust, all sounds quite conservative (with a small c) to me.

Well, for starters the owners should keep a discreet distance from the players.

But instead we have all these silly love-ins:

Barbeque for the players and their families before the season even starts

Delia kissing players after the first game

No wonder the football team is a soft touch on the pitch year in, year out

Politics has a lot to do with it.

It gives an indication as to character; whether you are hard or soft.

Delia and Wynnie have bleeding hearts and they are socialists so they must be soft. If you were nasty and hard you would''ve got rid of Worthy much sooner. Ditto Hughton. Ditto Neil. And you would certainly not have gone for pure sentimentality in appointing Gunn and Adams.

And the club has not been run on good business lines as huge amounts of money have been wasted:

Klose

Naisy

Wildschut

And money has been directed in the wrong areas:

Thousands of midfielders

No defence

Not good business practice at all as it all points to hard struggles ahead. More selling of players to keep up with past mistakes.

[lake district canary 4,531]

Lol. Unconvincing!

[TIL 1010 4,740]

My memory says it was not a vote of no confidence in Bob Cooper but a show of hands with regard to his re-election to the board under the terms of our constitution which happens to all directors on rotation.

[Horse Renoir 1]

The stupidity...it''s too much, I just can''t...

Just go support Ipswich you mong, Tory owner, an empty seat next to you for your gut to hang over, old fashioned style football, loggers who get stuck in and get the ball forward etc

You support the wrong club, I don''t know whether you''re capable of understanding that, or even having a thought at all, but just give Portman Road a try, I think you''ll find yourself much happier there

[Mr Angry 1,555]

Can somebody please explain what possible satisfaction BV can obtain from posting messages that he knows are going to get such a reaction?

I am aware that there are people in society who crave attention, but when the attention is just a load of abuse, what enjoyment do they get? Strange indeed.

[Captain Birdseye 0]

Vince I find you an absolute inspiration how you stick to your beliefs regardless of the extreme provocations you get from the happy clappers

I bet you have the looks of brad pitt have the brains of Stephen Hawkins and Dion dublins gentlemans sausage

[STFU 0]

I think you mean Stephen Hawking, Birdbrain.

I am only expressing the opinion that I am entitled to in a free society (however much the boy Ferrari might try to stifle that).

I do not seek attention. I only point out what in my opinion is wrong with NCFC and how it ought to be corrected so that the club is competing at the top table of English football and beyond.

If posters on here don''t want the same as me then they are entitled to their opinion too, and if that is abusive, it reflects on them more than me.

But why would you want to be in League 1 instead of the Champions League?

[nutty nigel 7,533]

Who knows why supporters want different things Vinny. What gets me though is the arrogance of those who expect what they want. There''s been a whole spectrum since you withdraw your support a dozen years ago. Look what you could''ve won.....
