WD40 726 Posted July 30, 2020 The Saudi backed consortium to takeover Newcastle have pulled out due to the Premier League due diligence process taking too long. A huge blow for the fans who thought they were finally seeing the back of Mike Ashley. Perhaps that Saudi money could be tempted to buy another club beginning with N...

Indy 3,471 Posted July 30, 2020 I wonder how many of those so vocal would ditch their season tickets if we did get this change! If we we’re the next Man City but with money from the Saudi’s? Just wonder how many of you would stop following Norwich if we were in the champions league with a new 60,000 stadium, playing Barcelona! Just asking as I’m sure those with morals would start to follow King Lynn. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 11,135 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I doubt there are any nice billionaires out there but I would go off and support Stevenage if these people came anywhere near the club. Worst of a bad bunch. Edited July 30, 2020 by Herman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point I was making was that there's plenty who have spent over ten years complaining about our current owners yet still go to every game they can. So to suggest someone who didn't like any new owners would be unprincipled or hypocritical must work both ways. And obviously I would still go and support Norwich City whatever the situation. After 53 seasons and lots of different regimes why would I stop? Edited July 30, 2020 by nutty nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with your principal and certainly question if they should ever be regarded as fit to own any club, but my question still stands. If in five years Norwich were in the champions league playing Barcelona I do wonder if everyone on principle wouldn’t attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok sorry Nutty, I am just curious as to how many would be honest enough, if and only IF we did get bought out by a consortium backed by the Saudi’s and we’re in the champions league would they be there to watch the game.

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted July 30, 2020 And what about those who reckoned we were going to hell in a handcart and would finish below the binners in Sept 2018 but within 3 months reckoned we were one of the best teams they'd seen in a Norwich shirt?

Well it certainly doesn’t matter to Wolves, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and lots of others, I wonder how long it would take before success would overshadow your community club, plus I think you’re very insular thinking this is the only club with such tag as community club, I think other clubs especially Leicester, Southampton and even Liverpool have the same community foundations as Norwich.

Supporters make the community with the aid of the club. That's because your community club and my community club definitions are different. My community club definition is not what the community can get out of the club. It's a mutual two way thing. I also don't care if you think I'm insular. I would say I'm the opposite. Perhaps the way people view the club reflects the way they view the world. Edited July 30, 2020 by nutty nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
