OTBC!

Can't make it I'm afraid. If possible, could someone ask on my behalf, "How come we are so good?"

The egm which isnt expected to last long, as most shareholders vote by post, is in the Top of the City & starts at 6pm.( AGM is on Nov 13th) 

Our fans forum is in the Gunn Club & will get started about 7:20pm

Should be a popular event so hope to see some of you there

What happens if the EGM vote goes against the club? Might not be so popular amongst some then!

A little bit unlikely. Happy to fill the time in though.

Looks like a fantastic event. Wonder if they have any early ideas re where they would like to strengthen in January and beyond.

Thanks, Soldier.

We will have a Q&A session, taking questions from the audience.

So come along and ask JHT & Glen in-person!

Yes . Superb . Thanks NCFSC. 

Johannes and Glen were seriously impressive , very open and honest. 
I was a believer anyway, now I’m totally all in. We’re in excellent hands.

Fully agree. Funny moment of the night was when Johannes joked that he said to Glenn after 15 mins of the Preston game “What say we F off home?” 😂

[Pockthorpe 636]

I was lucky to have a few words with Thorup at the end and said , like you do, how brilliantly well I thought he’s doing. He gripped my shoulder and said NO!! it’s how well we’re all doing - players , fans , back room staff etc. Christ - got to love that !! 💛💚

Sounds great. Much better than the kind of arrogance of recent years and where we need to be.

We’d best hope that he/they are guys who want to see a ‘project’ through.   Other clubs could well come sniffing if things continue to go well.  You do get the sense that they are decent fellas, but everyone has a price.

That was actually meant to sound positive, but not sure it does?!

There were a lot of very funny moments. Glen was treading on thin ice a couple of times with his wife and daughter in the audience 😀. They both came across really well and I thought the audience appreciated their honesty and openness. After the last couple of managerial hiccups there is now definitely a positivity and optimism about the direction in which the club is heading.

A great night which was very well attended.

Many thanks as always to Diane and the committee for organising this and all the other events. There’s a lot of work goes into these nights and it’s nice to see them turn out as good as this one was.

Bet your shoulder feels sore this morning! I can imagine it was a vice-like grip 😆

[Norwich City Fans Social Club 168]

Thanks to everyone who came to support us,  a wonderful turnout of around 250 ish fans, the feedback has been brilliant.

Im my opinion probably one of the best events we've ever had, the two guests were humble, honest & humourous and Darren Eadie was the perfect host.

A summary of the evening by Connor plus some pictures will be on our website soon.

It was a brilliant night, well done @Norwich City Fans Social Club! Walked away loving the managemnet team even more, spoke really well, incredibly honest and a great insight into how they work.

We are in great hands!

Nice write-up by Connor, it looks like a great evening. It would be good to see the answers they gave as well as the questions, but I realise this would be quite a job.

(For those too lazy to read the piece, the questions were:

1. What have you found about the culture at Norwich City which needed changing?
2. How long did it take you to realise Shane Duffy was unleashing his inner Maldini?
3. How do you instil leadership in the younger players?
4. What do you think of the Colney training ground?
5. What is your vision for the team?
6. Can you describe the process for involving Jack Wilshire into his role?
7. Is Borja close to a week off?
8. Which clubs did you both support?
9. Are there any academy players that are impressing you?
10. Do you watch the women’s team?
11. How does a promoted championship team stay up?
12. How’ much involvement do you have in contract negotiations and how do you ensure that players due contract renewal stay and continue with the project?
13. What positions did you play?
14. How do you get the best out of Sargent?
15. What is the best position for Oscar
16. What do you miss about Denmark?
