Dr Greenthumb 750 Posted September 23, 2023 This board have been a joke for years. This “transition” Is also a joke. Just leave already, they literally offer nothing to Norwich City, except “supporters” 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just leave already, they literally offer nothing to Norwich City, except “supporters” It's honestly criminal what this board have been getting away with. The moment Farke first took us up with a strong nucleus of a side, young exciting players and spent next to nothing strengthening the side was the time for me the writing was on the wall. The "self funding model" is simply a ruse to hoodwink fans into backing the Stowmarket Two are which many have fallen hook, line and sinker for. If they truly had the best for the club in mind, they would have recognised their ownership is holding us back and sold up to someone who could have built on that first promotion. Since then, its been regression. Sales of players replaced by poor/cheaper alternatives and we're now shopping in the free transfer bin. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted September 23, 2023 Home atmosphere could be toxic if they play this bad next game. I was hoping that the Attanasio’s appearance meant that change was coming, but somehow they’re managing to draw the process out for another 3 years? We need change now.

It was relevant after the shoddy end to the transfer window, given our main strikers injury. £11m for a sub and we couldn’t reinvest in a striker, it’s so annoying.
