No. She is delegating that tricky job to me.😍

This explains why the share allotment is taking so long! 😉

Well, yes, GMF. Touché! But more fool the club for paying me by the hour...🥰

Yeah if only BBC were able to broadcast live matches from Carrow Rd.

Yeah I bet the forum would be great hosted from a gantry 30ft above Carrow Road's pitch.

Don't be a ****.

More evidence that their financial control isn't up to the mark.

We can play 'match the question to the poster'...

[OTBC06 44]

For those going, will somebody ask why we buy players who are highly rated, then play them in the wrong positions, or not to their strengths in order to get the best out of them? 

[nutty nigel 7,630]

No.

Well I was planning to ask Zoe Webber what her favourite brand of cheese was, but alright.

If we're allowed one question each I might auction mine off for Rays Funds.

Is it a question for life, or can I pass it on to any beneficiaries? (Asking for a friend, rather than personal gain, of course!)

That's very considerate,  its nice your "friend" wants to help the club out. Very selfless of them.

As a Trust Board member he gets plenty of opportunity to ask questions so very easy for him to pass on.

I'm going to use my question to ask Zoe where she got her scarf that she's wearing in the picture in today's EDP (not sure it's a saga).

These important issues must be attended to.

Take care not to expose the Club's socialist principles.

I used to shop at Principles, I didn't know they had a socialist section.

I would imagine that showing the e-mail on your phone will gain you entry or it will be similar to entry at an AGM where they check your name on a register of those who applied for tickets.

They might argue watching the players in training every week alongside every recordable stat gives them a bit of a headstart in knowing...

Does it have a green section? 

Probably best not to buy stuff made from recyclable plastic bottles unless you really need them.

Ask the Great Yarmouth lorry drivers son who owns Forest Green Rovers.

Wonder if we get any meaningful Attanassio/takeover code updates at this forum or just the standard it’s a complex procedure line.

If the latter hopefully they can at least explain why February's statement was misleading and a little more detail on the hoops they have had or still need to jump through.

You could explain to them why you were mislead, everyone else was OK.

I would say that is being unfair to Essex. The club's statement back in February may not strictly have been misleading. But it certainly gave no sense that more than four months after the vote to approve these nearly 200,000 new shares they would still not have been bought by Attanasio. And I do not believe the club's expectation back in February was that there would be such a delay.

I see.😜 Essex comes in for a deal of criticism. I thought this was another example and decided to ride gallantly to his rescue...😇

In homage to the lad sat astride one of the lion statues outside City Hall in 1982 as Norwich City fans celebrated promotion back to Division 1 there is only one question..............."Are we going to beat Ipswich?" (we did at their place but drew at home)..........

Without insight into the advice received from their legal advisers, or feedback previously received from the Takeover Panel, it is impossible to say with certainty if it was misleading.

Personally, as I’ve said before, it seemed at the time to effectively be a done deal, given the two week time period mentioned in the papers circulated for the meeting.
