If they're the representation for the Delia Out movement though, she isn't leaving anytime soon 😅 Why is that? Do you know their jobs or educational achievements or is it just your superiority complex that allows you to dismiss legitimate protests as nothing more than thick kids?

Did you support Chase Nutty, or was you part of the movement for change in 1993/4? Times move on and if people believe it’s their opinion for a change that’s their prerogative! For me I couldn’t care less, who owns the club as long as the players and staff do their best. I have no control over anything so can’t get so worked up as some fans now. Times have changed and football has moved on too…….best try to enjoy it if not no one, is forced to watch or pay to attend the games…👍 Edited January 9, 2022 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope Nutty, I’m pointing out like you did that a visit to wembley in the past has little perspective to current views. But agree with your point, if people are so anti the clubs situation and it’s impacting their life then maybe it’s time for them to accept the current level we can achieve and live with the clubs owners, structure and vision! If not they can do something else and enjoy life….. Edited January 9, 2022 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 27 Posted January 9, 2022 Yes and can't deny that was the best experience in almost 50 years supporting the club, problem is we were back in the Championship 12 months later because we didn't have the finance to compete and the same in 2019/20 and looking very much like the same outcome this year. We did spend more money this time but we only signed players with potential to develop and sell them for a profit because our self funding model means we can't afford to sign and pay higher wages to better players. It's not only on the playing side that lack of funds is restricting us, the City stand is an embarrassment and should have been extended years ago but yet again we can't afford to do the job. Do you not think it's time the owners sold up and gave someone else a chance? They are both in their 80's after all. For what it's worth I hate the way football is dominated by money but sadly that's the way it is but sadly a self funding club like us will always struggle to compete in the prem.

Wardogz 72 Posted January 9, 2022 Most of them look under 25. Which means for almost all of their conscious years of being a Norwich fan, they've only seen the club in the Premier League or challenging for promotion. Spoilt brats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again look at Forrest, they’ve new owners, Cat 1, new training ground being built and that old stand to be demolished for a brand new one, planning permission granted! Sometimes it can be good for a club. But sometimes it can go bad too! Thats the gamble, or we can just stay as we are, it’s always easy to just be happy with our lot, no disappointment then, we know what we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure if they put the club up for sale there would be some interested parties, with some due dilligence on their part the odds could be improved somewhat.

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) If they're being civil in protest then whether I personally agree or not is a completely moot point.

I doubt it. But who knows. Surely if the wealth of owner is the defining factor then it's a top 17 owner for a top 17 club. There are far wealthier owners than ours who never get a sniff at the PL.

It seems to me you are saying, the same owners and no more progress (that is 100% certain) or new owners and it may not get better but it could? Would the current owners, being as great as they are, find us the owners to take as forward? Or is there no one as talented as the current ownership and structure?
