GMF 745 Posted October 10, 2007 Agreed 1st Wiz. If Smith & Jones do sell to the Turners, they''d then own circa 60% of NCFC. They''ll be in a no win situation a some people would still moan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks for those wise words, Wiz. I have to say, though, that it''s a little bit ironic that this advice should come from you, as you are one of the people least likely to give them a fair chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted October 10, 2007 Some people always have to have a target Wiz, it makes them feel better.

As far as i''m concered they are new to NFC and will no doubt have fresh idea''s and investment if they are to become major shareholders at some point. The fact that you don''t like the Turners because there a married couple and nothing else tells me that you haven''t got a clue about these people and what they can and can''t do for this club, yet you wont even give them a chance..

lappinitup 629 Posted October 10, 2007 Welcome back wiz. When you signed off yesterday you said you wouldn''t be around for a few weeks. Did you change your mind ? [:D]Anyway, to the point. Of course they have to be given time. Assuming their takeover is announced at the AGM no SANE person is going to be calling for their heads if results don''t improve in the first handful of games.You''ll probably get a few disgruntled murmurings on here but when you read some of the offerings now you have to question the sanity of the few !!

GJD 0 Posted October 10, 2007 If the Turners are interested in taking a leading role in the club then all good and well. They appear from the surface to have been very successful in business and amassed a vast fortune in a relative short period of time. Surely that would even make the more pessimist/realistic fans on this forum happy in the short term!However whether they see Norwich as hobby or a business that needs to run on a business level might dictate their perceived welcome. Even people of their wealth probably do not have the spare cash in bank to just bank roll new players like the Russian at Chelsea. They are not in his league in financial clout.Still if they can clear the debt and bring in new funds and maybe tempt that other big financial hitter in who''s a Canary fan, then the future my start to look brighter. As for Delia, well I hope she continues to have some input into the clubs off the field catering etc and has a part, albeit smaller part to play in the future. They did their best IMHO and I hold them no grudge. Event dear boy we are all controlled by! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me guess, your argument go''s a little something like this: Oh no, Delia knows some rich people, KEEP THEM AWAY FROM NCFC FOR GODS SAKE! ALL WE NEED TO DO IS WAIT FOR A NEUTRAL NOBODY WITH A SPARE BILLION WILLING TO POUR IT INTO NORWICH CITY. THIS PERSON CAN NEVER HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS DELIA.

Let me correct your assumptions as I do happen to know the Turners (they own and run a loan/mortgage company by the way, not insurance). They are committed Norwich fans and have only just started investing in the club. They also have built up a business worth an estimated £300 million from scratch. I thought you wanted ambition at the club. They have it. Glare of the spotlight? Here? Come on, apart from when we hit the headlines during a managerial crisis, who outside Norfolk takes much notice of us football wise? A good thing maybe at present. Don''t underestimate the Turners Cluck, although if you indeed don''t live in the city at present you may not have much inside knowledge of them. They are here to stay and make our club great again. If they fail, they will at least have tried. Who would you like to see instead and who would you give some credibility to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cluck 0 Posted October 11, 2007 I''ve been in business for many years. I''ve spent a sizeable number of games alongside the people who regularly stalk the CR corporate areas. I''ve also attended a number of charity functions at CR over years....Surprising who you meet at such bashes...and how many fawn over celebrity. Sooooo....Many of you are now looking to cling helplessly onto another life raft now the Good Ship Delia is sinking eh? Pure desperation by those who think a wad of cash is the answer to all of their prayers....well beware. Large random investment is nowhere near as important as the credibility of it''s owner....I''ve warned you about many things which have duly come to pass.....but it seems the rabbits remain blinded by the headlights.
