MY PROBLEMS WITH THE BOARD-PART 2

Where people get the idea from that i think my voice counts more than other Norwich fans is yet more putting words into peoples heads in a pathetic attempt to try to make us look foolish

Wow, you credit me with supernatural powers too. Nice one!
No, where I get the idea you think your opinions count more than others is in the manner of your posting. The way you don''t answer people who eloquently challenge and refute your skewed views. The way you think that "Your problems with the board" are worthy of not one, but two entire threads. The way you''d rather have a go at me than try to argue your corner against the numerous people who posted in the thread beforehand actually addressing your points. I can''t be arsed to frankly, because I think you''re a windup merchant or an ego-maniac as I mentioned.
[/quote]

If you can''t be arsed then why post HERBIE???

Pot calling kettle black yet again me thinks... how can you state what you state above and call another persons views skewed???

Think you need Cluck to come back and put you in your place again... so that you cry in to your soda-stream like the little girl that you are!!!

[quote user="Herb"]Heres a question for you.
Where did you get the self-importance that makes you think your voice counts more than any other Norwich fan? It comes across pretty strongly in your posts.
You don''t have the charisma to be a rabble rouser, so really you''re just peeing into the wind. I''m not knocking it, I appreciate the comedic value of you posts, but seriously, what do you expect to achieve?
[/quote]

I could ask you the very same question! Only problem is i dont find you at all funny. Im not a leader, im just voicing my opinions, im not a spokesman, i have no level of self importance unlike Herb,ive never said my opinion counts more than anyone elses, im not running a campaign im simply voicing my opinions and the meeting the other day was arranged by Wayne Gardner not me anyway i just drink in there. Where people get the idea from that i think my voice counts more than other Norwich fans is yet more putting words into peoples heads in a pathetic attempt to try to make us look foolish, you do that all on your own Herb.

ARE YOU SOME ONE FROM THE CLUB SUSSING OUT THE FANS VIEWS???  I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE.

Okay, here goes:

What makes YOU sure, that a takeover possibility by the Turners, or the same arrangement now, would be worse than having a foreign investor inject 30 million, then bugg** off in 5 years?

And Also..

D''you want a new board purely for financial reasons? Ambition? What are you looking for in a new board?

[/quote]

What proof is there that they would b~gger off in 5 years? Silly question, all ifs and buts.

Arthur i have a question. How long will it be before you protest and how will you go about it? e.g. website etc?

[/quote]

[:@]I don''t think he was asking you the question! I''m sure Arthur is capable of answering the questions.

The further 3 questions are more than valid and should be answered.

Or are you waiting for Wayne to answer the questions for you? He seems to be quite good at that.

Dear Arthur:I have some further questions, continuing from above:10) I would like to know if you would accept some situations:a) A takeover by someone like the owner of Blackpool.b) A takeover by someone like the owner of Hearts.c) A takeover of the same kind as ManU/Liverpool where the club is leveraged in order to buy it.11) If we get a new board how long would you give them to turn the team around?  ie before you started to think they were like Delia.        Would they have to make an imeadiate impact?        Would they have one season to show some improvement? two?If you could answer these questions and the 9 I posted earlier in the thread, I would be very grateful.I believe that you are worth trying to debate with and I try to provide considered responces the points you make - for example the 3 page response on pg 5 of part 1 - I only ask that you will extend me the same courtesy.  In particular I would like answers to these fairly neutrally worded questions, that are in a thread which you dedicate to the answering of reasonable questions.The questions are aimed at trying to allow me to understand your hopes/expectations of a new board and to an extent how you would behave towards them.  They are not intended to trip you up or make you look stupid.Awating your answers (but not on tis forum again until monday)7rew.

10) I would like to know if you would accept some situations:
a) A takeover by someone like the owner of Blackpool.
b) A takeover by someone like the owner of Hearts.
c) A takeover of the same kind as ManU/Liverpool where the club is leveraged in order to buy it.

11) If we get a new board how long would you give them to turn the team around?  ie before you started to think they were like Delia.
        Would they have to make an imeadiate impact?
        Would they have one season to show some improvement? two?

If you could answer these questions and the 9 I posted earlier in the thread, I would be very grateful.

I believe that you are worth trying to debate with and I try to provide considered responces the points you make - for example the 3 page response on pg 5 of part 1 - I only ask that you will extend me the same courtesy.  In particular I would like answers to these fairly neutrally worded questions, that are in a thread which you dedicate to the answering of reasonable questions.

The questions are aimed at trying to allow me to understand your hopes/expectations of a new board and to an extent how you would behave towards them.  They are not intended to trip you up or make you look stupid.

[/quote]Ahh, Cluck. Are you a little obsessed with him? 90% of your posts seem to either mention him, or are in reply to him. Don''t remember ever crying in relation to an internet forum. I can remember getting annoyed at both you and your comedy sidekick''s repetitive nonsense, especially when you both resort to personal insults when you lose the argument.I''m glad it whatever you''re blathering on about made your day. Its nice to know I brought a little joy into what is obviously a sad and empty life. After all, normal people''s days aren''t normally made by posts on internet forums.

Why can''t some people take a deep breath before replying?

[dougal 0]

Apologies if these questions have already been asked but here goes:Do you want the board to step down immediately and if so who would you want to run the club until a future investor is found to invest in the club? Or do you want the current board to keep at the helm of the club until a suitable Russian billionaire steps forward bearing in mind this may take years......if ever?Also suppose someone does come forward with an offer, who should decide if that offer is acceptable or in the best interests of the club?

Arthur,Did you read the thread "Billionaire Investor Myth" in which I posted my views on what I believe is the wrong and naive attitude of a number of (particularly vociferous) fans that the current board is someone flawed in their belief that strong off-field activities will support the club''s ambition in the long term.  I will not try to deny that some mistakes have been made and we have suffered from a premiership hangover that lasted far too long.However what really irks me is the belief that somehow you are so sure that the board won''t be making funds available for Grant to use this summer?  It appears we have been fairly active in the transfer market and have been linked with a number of players already, which is an improvement on last season''s performance.  This is Grants first full off-season to invest in new players and fans such as yourself aren''t giving him or the board a chance to show whether things have changed.Do you believe that the appointment of Grant was, in itself, an unambitious event?  Who would you rather have had the board appoint at the time?  We were never seriously linked with any "big name" - and to attract such a name to a club in our situation would require a salary which we cannot afford.The myth that somehow Norwich are better placed than a number of clubs when it comes to takeovers is mis-placed and I believe that in the championship we are stuck in the middle, between the clubs such as Blackpool which are much cheaper to buy than clubs higher in the league structure, and the more prestigious clubs in the premiership.  Premiership clubs are much more attractive entities for investment than championship clubs due to the larger guaranteed TV income and particularly with London clubs, the ability to attract players and fans.Anyone, I''m not really sure I''ve asked all that many question or whether I just rewrote a section of my previous post but my main point would be whether you really believe we''d be better having an "ambitious" board, i.e. Leeds? Bradford? Notts Forest?  Since their ambitious attitudes not only ended in double relegation but almost the extinction of the clubs themselves.OTBC!Chris
