And then we 're left with unambitious board, and no manager You write 'might', lots of stuff might happen. It might snow here today but it won't just like Farke won't be going to Dortmund whiie he has a contract here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if Dortmund do want him and approach they will happily appoint a temporary manager whilst Farke runs his contract down here? And all parties involved will be happy with that?

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I’ve nothing against Delia and Michael, and in fact quite like the fact that we are owned by two pleasant and good fans. However, with them as majority shareholders, we have to accept that we will never be anything more than a yo-yo club. I don’t know about others, but I’d love to see us as a regular PL team. I don’t think that is an unrealistic expectation, as with everything in else in life I want NCFC to be the best, like all my other interests.

I'm not sure what you mean by regular - but if you mean a mainstay in the prem then no, I dont think that's realistic. We arent one of the top 8 clubs in the country. I dont think we would be with new owners either, but who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest we wont be playing in that as premier league winners but as we still in the FA cup it is possible , though as a realist I accept that its unlikely.👍 Edited January 12, 2020 by wcorkcanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted January 12, 2020 There are people out there looking to buy clubs. It’s been widely reported that Britain’s richest man Jim Ratcliffe wants to buy an English club. Red Bulls name has been lurking around for a while. Would they be interested in Norwich? Only one way to find out and that’s to approach them. From the outside the owners appear reluctant to do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not talking about us challenging for Europe, but a 5 or 6 year stay, even if it meant eventual relegation, would be nice. The excitement of promotion is terrific, but the season after is proving to be so anticlimactic. I’m fed up with this season now tbh. Whats the point of promotion if we are so poor the next?

Thats the bit I dont get, why get all wound up about someting that is totally beyond your control? If they decide to sell, it will herald a new direction( maybe). Till then, why waste energy?

A Load of Squit 5,200 Posted January 12, 2020 1 hour ago, PurpleCanary said: From memory the AGM has from time to time approved the potential issuing of - I think - up to a million new shares. I imagine the rationale is that it avoids the bother having to go back to the existing shreholders for consent. That total number of shares going to some newcomer would make them the owner, of course, although in that case I suspect the transaction would have to be approved at an EGM anyway. But it could be used as a money-making exercise that didn't change the ownership, if newcomers bought in but Smith and Jones used it to increase their holding as well. So there's nothing stopping an investor putting money into the club by buying these shares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt anyone at the club expected this season to turn out as it has done so far. Our downfall has been to not take points off teams around us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It happens every window. We have a complacent Board. They have run this club well and say they have its best interests at heart. If Farke goes, they will stay and simply look to replace. We the fans will then have to see whether the manager can take the team forward again, or we are left with several years of mediocrity. At the end of the day they don't care.
