All dots 0 Posted October 16, 2007 ....... would really confirm once and for all a total lack of ambition, wouldn''t it ? In fact I have never understood why Crewe were always so resigned to non-achievement especially as, with their population catchment area and central geographical location, they have the potential to be a much bigger club than Norwich.

The Sweeney 0 Posted October 16, 2007 What utter nonsense. If you follow history Crewe has always been a feeder club for the likes of Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United. The big difference between Norwich and Crewe is that whatever position they are Crew always play good football. Lack of ambition-never. It is a club that has realised just how far it can go and is content with that. It is also one of the most friendliest grounds in the league with Dario Gradi highly respected throughout the game. Too much salt is clearly not good for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted October 16, 2007 Um - not really.Geographically, they are competing with Manchester City and United, Liverpool, Everton, Oldham, Wigan, and many others... Norwich compete with the binmen and that''s about it.I''d love a manager with the integrity of Gradi at Carrow Road, or at least as someone in charge of the Academy.

[/quote] I trust your joking... Dario Gradi if he was a little bit younger would be a fantastic appointment who would push through youth talent, either selling them off as a profit or using them in the first team. jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You missed the point entirely, I''m afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
