There is a message to the club on this forum

[lake district canary 4,537]

We're almost unanimous about what is needed - a very rare thing for this forum. That message should be loud and clear to the club - things need to move faster.

You can't sit on this and say, it's going to take however long it takes, you have to take action now, even if it is just getting a caretaker manager in.  Many more weeks like the last few and you risk losing fans completely. You've worked so hard to build the club up and there have been some great times, but it is surely clear that action is needed now, not in a month, six months, or three years.

As I say, the single biggest message you are getting on this forum - and it is usually a hive of disaggreement and arguments - is that you have to act now.  Apathy has taken over from anger - as demonstated at the match yesterday - people need uplifting - and the present situation is having the opposite effect - and it's been going on for too long.

Something needs to be done - and as soon as possible.

Immediately if not sooner. How can the supporters be expected to "get behind the club" when the owners cannot act?

"getting behind the club" is turning up game after game. What more do they want? 

[Soldier on 160]

If anything Delia and hubby probably want to move slower !!!!!

Be brave Lakey and say it clearly, even you want Smith & Jones gone. 

[Coneys Knee 977]

And if Lakey is feeling this way and prepared to voice it then they must surely realise that this is serious.

Ah, Yes Minister's 'Politician's Logic':

Something must be done.

This is something.

Therefore we must do it.

Not all if you read through, there’s still some who remain content.

They could if they did what they said they would do and give part of the club to Tom. None of us know his personality or philosophy. But I would wager it wouldn't be too much different.

[stratton canary 134]

And not a word from the Attanasio's either another one groomed by Delia a co! 

[cambridgeshire canary 6,742]

Get where you're coming from but do you think anyone associated with the club cares about anyone or anything on this place?

[Wibble 109]

I'm starting to think, Why bother ??????

Why should I care when the people being paid to care most obviously don't.

If my local bakers constantly served me horrible, mouldy bread I wouldnt go back. If the local pub served horrible bear and put on a Chas and Dave act on every night, I wouldn't go back.

Why, oh why do I put myself through this misery, if the custodians and paid staff cannot be arsed.

It’s why I gave up my season ticket. I’ll buy one again once I see these problems are rectified. Just not sure when that will be!

[Ken Hairy 3,773]

The apathy taking over from anger comment is spot on, and probably the biggest damming fact of everything. I actually think the pretty much deafening silence yesterday throughout the game is a bigger message than booing and anger. I've actually never ever known Carrow Rd like yesterday.

Would you go if it was a nice bear?

What if Delia & MWJ are thinking what the hell have we done...

What if things are worse under MA's stewardship? Then what?

What’s wrong with Chas and Dave? 😂

[OTBC06 43]

I understand that Knapper isn't due to start yet, but whether he is still working at Arsenal or on holiday with his family, he is taking the top role in leading this club forward. He must be watching what is going on, and surely must be in some kind of contact with the board. There must be a discussion going on regarding the manger. Wagner does seem like a nice bloke, but its not working and he needs to go. Not just for the clubs Championship survival, but for his own sanity and wellbeing. Knapper needs to step forward and say this needs to change and this is the manger I would like in, or I want to be there for the recruitment process and decide who best fits the model I want to follow. Webber, needs to stay out of it. As said, even if a caretaker is put in charge ( NOT NEIL ADAMS!) for the interim. Maybe a trio of Hucks, Hoollihan and Drury can steer the ship for a bit 😂

How much worse can they get? We are falling into league one as it is and have gone from no debt to nearly 80 million in debt in 3 seasons. Short of the club getting wound up under then Attanasios we can’t drop much lower than we are heading.

I warned of the appointment of Knapper as taking on someone who has no previous experience in the role he is being hired to do. It’s a lot to ask someone who has never done the role before to hit the ground running and change a culture at a club. Recruitment is always a gamble in any form of business, I hire people to work in my team and maybe 1 in 20 stick it out for whatever reason. It’s hard to find good people these days and I don’t think Knapper is going to be the saviour we may think he is. I will however wish him the best of luck and give him every opportunity to succeed.

I agree wholly with this, the silence had an almost palpable power to it. 

They can ignore the noise all they want, but they can’t ignore the silence.

It's certainly a massive risk to be taking at a very dangerous time. I'm not too sure from what I've read what his previous experience is, which is relevant to the crucial role he's about to be asked to perform?

[Jimmy Bone - Superstar 2]

I've followed and supported this club for well over 50 years - since the Ron Saunders era - most of these years as a season ticket holder.

I really don't know what to say or expect anymore, it's like the apathy has set in and everyone doesn't expect things to change (for the better) anymore.

It's really sad, I left the game yesterday thinking that I can't renew my season ticket again next season as it's too painful (and expensive) for what we're being served up with.

I'm passionate about this club and always have been but that passion is dying with every dross performance and season that passes by.

I know we're not entitled to a good performance or result every week but believe that us NCFC supporters deserve so much better than the last few years have delivered.

Please Delia, Michael, Mark, Stuart (if you're still here), Neil, Zoe and anyone else with the ability to effect change - do it now before it's too late - Delia and Michael, if you really love this club then do the right thing for the future of it and pass it on to others that can make the necessary changes.

If not, there will be plenty of other loyal, longstanding supporters that won't be hanging around for more of this! 

 

[Big Vince 318]

Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones are without doubt the worst people ever. Another hour has gone by and nothing done.

[Big Vince 318]

Surely Attanasio must be thinking of walking away if he's going to be encumbered by these old duffers till 2026.
