I suspect he''s just thought up some more bulls**t that he hasn''t trotted out before....

Trouble is we''ll be hearing it regularly for the next twelve months though.......      [N]

Dont we already know?

Is our Club not as transparent as we keep being told?

Dont hold your breath for the truth, remember MrN Doncaster is on the board of NCPLC.

FOOTBALL MUST COME FIRST

Somebody at Archant should challenge his and Mumby''s constant statements about making all the transfer proceeds available to the manager when it is clear from recent accounts that they club is completely dependent upon retaining a profit from player sales to abalnce the books for the last few years.

[Old Shuck 291]

He will:-

1. Remind everyone we don''t have the paracute payments anymore-like its not our fault!

2. Say that we have been in for players, "...but their wages..." and "...the loan fee is..." etc etc.

3. Emphasise that the club debt is manageable/structured, but...

4. ...we now have to cut our coat according to the cloth and that sales "...cannot be ruled out..." -however...

5. "...The £2 Million loan from the Turners bla bla bla..."

6. "...the Manager has our complete and utter confidence-look at club like ''x'', ''y'' and ''z'' who changed their managers..."

7. Try very hard not to-but still-patronise us.

8.  Finish up by saying "how we all" want Norwich City "back in the Premiership" and are "working to make that happen"

9. Then he''ll sign of by showing how he''s one of the boys by writing OTBC

10. Except he always leaves an exclamation mark after it, as if he''s all excited, passionate, and noisy at once-viz. "OTBC!"   Neil.

Agreed DF.  Won''t happen though.  We''ll get more bilge about loan players we''re never going to sign instead.

And what about Rick Waghorn?  When he was at Archant he used to moan like hell about having to sit on the fence whilst us "citizen journalists" had the freedom to say things that he wanted to but couldn''t.  Now he''s gone freelance what do we get?  More toothless waffle, same as before.

I think that also he will finally admit that he is Dangermouse''s faithful sidekick.  Or am I the only person who thinks he looks like Penfold?

Poverty sucks, Doncaster.

You may be surplus to requirements these days. Be warned.

OK Mystic, I await with bated breath.

Pity that nobody in the NCFC hierarchy will take our bait and run, so that we can reel her in, gut her, fillet her, fry her, serve her up for dinner, eat her, process her, expel her - and start afresh.

But, we shall see what we shall see.

if this was such big news, surely it would have been at least back page headlines, not editorial column inches?

[Mello Yello 2,571]

I''m still awaiting a statement from our elusive Chairman and the Major Shareholder''s.

I suppose they''ll despatch the ''Darth Donkster'' to soften us up - before ''they who can ne''er do wrong'' come out with some well prepared excuses and shirkin'' of responsibility - as it''s got absolutely nothing to do with them. "Sob, sniffle, blubba blub, sniffle, phaarp, wipe, sniffle, blub, sob, Wahahaha!." [:(][:''(]

Haven''t we heard all this sanctimonious pap, predictable drivel and patronising spin before? How about the prepared media performance not so long ago from ''Deals no Deals'' and ''Micky Wynn'' on Anglia and Look East? Much-O Same-O! Skint, likely to become skint-er.

Predictable comments are on the horizon: "We and the fellow Director''s only want what''s best for the foodball club and Rome wasn''t built in a day - (but it would have been if they''d got Carter''s in). We are fully behind Peter (as he actually makes a good hiding place). Look at Leeds, Forest, Charlatan Aesthetic, Christ-all Palarse, Accrington and Stanley, Old Catton under 12s, Chelsea Pensioner''s AFC and Fakenbaconham Town. Whom were once very successful well supported football teams with a financial supportive sugar daddy or a hermesetas mummy. Now look at ''em? Skint! Skint! They''re foraging through landfill sites, rusting skips, northern rock statement''s  and Larkman and Mile Cross wheelie bins! If they''d invested more in off the field activities, they''d only be 18/20 million in debt - and riding high in the lower (bottom 3) echelons of the Chumpionship - like what we are!" said the unsmiling ''Donkster'', with less charisma and emotion, than Yul Brynner''s robotic wayward cowboy character in ''Westworld''.....and in the monotone electronic voicebox of Professor Stephen Hawkins.

I fail to see why the Chief Excess (salary) Exec, is ''stating the true financial facts'' as I thought he''d already given them earlier on? ZZzzzzz ;~P[|-)]

More spin than Gordon Brown.

Give it up Neil your credibility is shot to hell.

Seems to me from this thread he is damned if he says something and damned if he does not. Never sent him an email, but at least he seems to answer then. How many other CEO would even bother to do that.

Now his responses maybe not to your liking and I can share them senitiments in many cases, but I don''t think you can really say he hides from the fans.
