To go into the Premiership without a recognised striker was crazy. Asking new CB signing the Doc to do a temporary job was crazy, to do that in the Championship. Yes he was old but keeping Iwan Roberts would of proved better!

The Norwich board tried to ''do'' the Premiership

on the cheap and it very nearly did work but ultimately signing Dean

Ashton half a season to late or not spending £2M on Peter Crouch at the

start of the seaon proved to be the downfall!

[/quote]Bad memory again. Crewe refused to sell Ashton until the were as sure as they could be that they were safe. We signed him when we couldThe valuation of Crouch was the managers, not the boards, and Doncaster spent more time at Villa Park than Carrow Road during those weeks. I know Crouch''s agent, Bruce, Peter wasn''t interested in coming back at the time which was the main stumbling block, preferring to try and get back into the reckoning at Villa.I''ve said before that the fault was with Worthingtons for not identifying alternative targets, you could at a stretch lay some blame with the chief exec for not realising that likely relegation rivals where unlikely to sell us half decent players (like Primus and Harewood) going into a new campaignLive and learn

 "I know Crouch''s agent, Bruce, Peter wasn''t interested in coming back at the time which was the main stumbling block, preferring to try and get back into the reckoning at Villa."

That sounds like a bit of a lie considering that summer he moved to Southampton, unless you consider moving to Southampton trying to get back in the Villa team?

Ive read your posts with interest [BA, you claim to know agents and the ins and outs of the club. Just what is it you do for a living? Work for the club in some capacity? Im not provoking you, im genuinely keen to find out.

Many many words, but can be dismissed quite easily:

"why did the Board base its planning at the start of the Premiership year that we would finish in 17th position in the league?"

They didn''t.
