What next. Operation water the pitch at Carrow Road. Operation open the gates (at the above) on match days ? Believe!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,649 Posted November 30, 2023 What amazes me more than the general level of guff and marketing speak at the AGM’s , is the surprise it causes. I stopped going years ago because sitting a room with a load of rehearsed and filtered questions is pointless. What on earth do people expect Delia , Knapper or Richens to say ? “tell ya what folks, I’m gonna level with ya. The whole things a shítshow”? Anyone counted how many times Zoe says “you know” ? I’m going for 17. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ged in the onion bag 954 Posted November 30, 2023 6 minutes ago, RobJames said: Operation Promotion is still on track, board and management united with fans Said many times now.... promotion aims prevent development and puts pressure on managers to achieve the unattainable. If this is true, then clearly the management are incompetent and clueless and we are heading for even worse times. The gap right now between us and the EPL must be 3-4 years if we had competent people in charge or half a billion cash. If they can't see this needs a rebuild and patience, they need to walk away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is you need to have a hefty budget to get into the PL then spend a huge sum to hopefully stay there. If you are lucky you can stay in that cycle. If not, you join the numerous others making up the numbers in the Championship. They won't tell you that is the case, but a quick glance at the CH table will tell you all you need to know.

Would get caught for pace too often and so relied upon shirt pulling. At the moment it sounds like we got the better of the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
