FilletTheFishWife . 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Enough is enough. You have lauded the Norwich fans in the past so why treat us with such contempt?You entice us with competetitive season ticket prices and then leave us with a decimated squad churning out dross week after week thus underming any ''value for money'' premise.Considering the parachute payments and the receipts from Ashton, Green and Leon your investment in the playing squad is woeful.You dithered too long over Worthy, refusing to accept - unlike the majority of the paying public - that his days were over, and then appoint Grant who talks a lot but fails to deliver. As in the summer we sit by waiting in frustration as our rivals cherry-pick the best of what''s available whilst we dither and quibble with valuations etc, dropping our sights lower and lower as each day passes. We want ''decent'' new players - to replace the bunch of journeymen in situ. - not a list of excuses on February 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charlies dad 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Absolutely agree with your sentiments. The realisation that having cleaned ou the squad, and saved further on wages by loaning out more players, we are now at breaking point makes me incandescent with rage. I guarantee we will never run out of chefs. How anyone can defend this board is totally beyond me. They have made ambition a dirty word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cluck 0 Posted January 29, 2007 I''ve a feeling the next piece of club "spin" will be........."Due to the lack of quality available during the month of January, club policy will be to consolidate our status as a Championship side...prior to a full squad rebuild in the summer close season"........Should satisfy the sheep and sell some season tickets into the bargain.........[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stevie Wonder 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Aaah! Reminds me of the good old days with Mr Chase. Standing in the old Barclay and chanting "Spend some F***ing money" at the old so and so. Then seeing it reported in the sunday press that Norwich Fans had urged their board to "Spend some of THAT money"!!!! Still at least he then gave Stringer the money to buy a certain Robert Fleck - sometimes I almost miss him........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T07 0 Posted January 30, 2007 And just what do you consider exorbitant sums? Or are you making an assumption (I wonder)Would you work 72 hours for £20k ?? Do you know how many positions in the club are actually unpaid? You really think the back room staff are just sitting on their arses counting cash?Championship Manager has a lot to answer for........

Cheerio 0 Posted January 30, 2007 [quote user="charlies dad"] What do YOU suggest?[/quote]I''m not the one complaining. I might not agree with a couple of the ''publicised'' targets, but am completely humbled by the amount of work thats gone into trying to make these things happen. You doubt me? Go and stake out the car park late tonight.....So I suggest.....carry on. Getting people to come to Norwich has to be viewed realistically, some it will suit, most it wont. If you want me to recommend a player, three days ago I''d have taken a punt on Constntine (as I said at the start ofthe season) but too late now.....Maybe Alan Gow, though probably too expensive judging by his agents comments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
