Keith Scott 244 Posted January 2, 2023 Would not have turned on these owners by now? Genuine question because i can't wrap my head around it. Robert Chase had us competing in the old division 1. Nearly winning the first Premier League. Beating Bayern Munich. And he was hounded out. Under the current owners we have had 25 years of under achievement and humiliation, and yet nothing. What has happened to the Norwich City fanbase? All the best. Big Keith Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,219 Posted January 2, 2023 The fans did not turn up, and the club acted in removing Smith. In reality the owners probably have very little say in the day to day running of the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From challenging for the Premier League and knocking Bayern Munich out of the UEFA Cup under Chase. To League One, multiple relegations, and Premier League whipping boys. You consider this success? It's clearly 25 years of regression. Amazing so many are loathe to admit it. What is it about these owners that so many Norwich fans refuse to acknowledge their constant failures? Bizarre.

Naturalcynic 631 Posted January 3, 2023 Although Big Keith is a bit of a wind-up merchant, it’s certainly true that under 26 years of Mr and Mrs Wynne-Jones’ ownership the Club has failed to move forward in any meaningful way. Yes, we’ve had lots of promotions, but they’ve been cancelled out by the same number of rapid relegations, and here we are once again as a bang average Championship side. The point was made by the OP that strident protests were made against Robert Chase due, mainly, to perceived lack of ambition (selling our best players, not keeping Mike Walker, being relegated) despite us having had our most successful period under his ownership. Yet now our apparent lack of ambition and acceptance of mediocrity seems so much more ingrained and accepted, with many supporters being unwilling or unable to accept any murmur of dissent directed at Delia and her husband. Make no mistake, NCFC is in a real mess, and that runs from the top to the bottom. Radical change is needed, and that has to start with the ownership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger 2,405 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I'm probably treating this with more seriousness than the OP deserves but this is Chase's last full league table. Of the similarly sized teams - Blackburn, Forest, QPR, Wimbledon, Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry, Palace, Leicester, Ipswich - only Leicester have "reached the heights." Southampton and Palace have been more successful in the EPL (although Southampton's time may be coming to a close). All three have at one stage gone into administration. Blackburn, Forest, QPR, Wimbledon, Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry, and Ipswich have done worse than us. I am not particularly wedded to Delia and Michael, but see no compelling evidence that they have ender-achieved. However, it is patently the case that we hounded out of office (myself included*) the most successful Chairman that we are ever likely to have. *Change always seems so attractive doesn't it 🤔 Edited January 3, 2023 by Badger Removed quotation 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
