HazzaJet 252 Posted July 26, 2020 Considering we had several young players in the squad and only a few with any PL experience, I feel we did reasonably well. Whenever we get promoted to the top flight I always have strong doubts about our survival, and as soon it was announced that we weren’t going to spend much as we were still paying for “sins in the past of PL transfer trading” I was convinced we would go straight back down. At least now we don’t need to sell players and if we go straight back up next season we will have more money to spend on strengthening the squad. Hopefully the board will manage to keep the majority of our key players for next season to boost our chances of going straight back up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've said it before and I'll say it again , no ambition, no investment... what do you expect with a cook at the helm and a German reserve team coach? Answer: Nothing, lil ol naarwich, nothing ever changes. There are plenty of teams out there who have achieved a fraction of what the "cook" and "German reserve team coach" have and would trade with us in a second. Many of them with significantly larger budgets than us too. No one is a "mug" for supporting the club, applauding the things they do right - and there's plenty we have done right over the years. I'm yet to meet a single fan happy with this season either. It's swings and roundabouts following a club like Norwich City. With that, I'm out of here. I'll be back on the forums once the new season starts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that's true. I'm pretty sure our club would have survived if we hadn't been promoted last season. We had no parachute payments when we won the league last season. I still don't see where the ambition is in wanting more of other people's money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need money to compete and establish ourselves in the Premier League, in order to earn more money and build a squad that compete to win things. A domestic trophy at some point in my lifetime would be nice. No it’s not the romance of the game, but the game has moved on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it? Surely that's far more ambitious than just wanting more of other people's money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFCInnit 52 Posted July 27, 2020 Spot on Foggo. Sadly. Tail wagging dog: there is nobody at the club with the passion or the expertise to change the structure that's been put in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
