PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted July 21, 2020 On 20/07/2020 at 14:11, Uncle Fred said: Just to correct uncle Fred is not Tilly No, of course not 'Uncle Fred' is actually Delia's scapegrace younger brother Frederick Algernon Clutterbuck Smith, who was forced to spend some years hiding from justice along the upper reaches of the Amazon after certain discrepancies were found in a Post Office savings account he was managing for the family. Hence him being written out of the official version of Delia's life and being disinherited in favour of nephew Tom from being left the shares which represent a controlling stake in Norwich City Football Club. Hence also the antipathy here towards the Stowmarket Two and their nephew and constant plotting to blacken their names and recover what he regards as rightfully his. It is all very Dickensian but as with all those tediously endless Dickens novel good will triumph over the forces of criminality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for following , ha ha , you only gave up trying to irritate me when you made a complete and utter fool of yourself with your Republican terrorist comments, only now have you mustered the juice to open your gob again in my direction. All I have to do is sit back and wait and you will inevitably do it again. But as I said before , I bear you no malice , only pity. Strange fellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,722 Posted July 21, 2020 3 hours ago, sgncfc said: When the Board is controlled by the majority shareholders I would say that the majority shareholders are the ones making the hiring decisions, wouldn't you? Most private companies run the same way. The executive team are tasked with running the company - in this case Webber/Ward/Kensell and Farke. Not the shareholders. That's my point - the shareholders are not answerable to anybody, nor should they be, because the executive team are employed to be. As Directors, they are accountable (to themselves as shareholders) for hiring the right or wrong executive team. I have never heard of a situation where shareholders are held responsible for a company's performance or asked to explain it. I think if you had put majority shareholders instead of ' the shareholders role is to let the executive team do their job having put them in position' i would not bothered to have posted. We do have 6,000 shareholders after all and i misunderstood rightly or wrongly that you were implying they all had a say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corbs 147 Posted July 21, 2020 Nepotism. Thank you for the lecture in ethics. I’d like to see the club owned by the fans, but traditionally football clubs have been owned by wealthy families. More recently this has evolved more towards global companies (often with strong family connections). Assume those who glibly refer to Nepotism are not passing on anything to their family or friends and have never accepted a gift from extended family or networks in their lives. Nobility Tom. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted July 21, 2020 Or Fortunate Tom. Lucky Tom. Not Fat or smelling of low quality fried seafood Tom...I think I like him already, mainly because his mere existence winds a few people up who think they have some kind of rights over what Lovely Delia does with her Dosh. Good on u Tom, you're a lucky boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assume you are happy that the club is in safe hands with Nepotism Tom, if so I fear for you and the clubs future if the Delia apologists can’t see the issue with him running the club i know many many fans are not convinced by him what makes you super confident that is the Messiah of football ownership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
