BCanary 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Not really. It''s looking like the Turners are poised to put some serious money in the club, the front-runners for our new manager are Paul Jewel and Martin Allen, we''ve got better players, more money, better stadium (which we own) and better support.Apart from the current league standings Ipswich have nothing on us.

Cobain18 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Not really jealous of them. We''ll both still be here next year, in fact they''ll be in the championship forever cos they are incapable of doing anything else, even given time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Dundee 0 Posted October 11, 2007 CRIKEYYYY!!!! Jealous!!! Of that lot!!! Even if we were in the conference and they were winning the PL I wouldn''t be jealous of that bunch of galahs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cluck 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Not being prone to jealousy.....I''m far more concerned about not having Boothroyd and Malky on our staff. Good luck to them mind.....but why couldn''t City have shown half of the guts and ambition Watford have shown since relegation?The answer to that I fear is obvious.

Yelski 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Not really jealous of them overall, as I still think they''re are a long way from being promotion material.However I am pretty jealous of the way they''re bringing all their youth team players through, that they play pretty decent football on their day, that they have a striker (Lee) and a team that actually knows how to score - and still have a fortress at Portman Road.What the hell happened to our fortress?

You obviously haven''t seen any of our recent performances! ''More money''! - what a joke, neither club have ANY money it''s just a question of how much the respective debts are. ''Better stadium'' - have you been to Portaloo Road? At least their main stand doesn''t look like a subbuteo model!Paul Jewell - no chance! Martin Allen - the board wouldn''t touch him with a bargepole, he''s too ''off the wall'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin Allen - the board wouldn''t touch him with a bargepole, he''s too ''off the wall'' [/quote]I can''t believe I''m having to defend Norwich against Ipswich here - Imean, how low are these boards going... but here goes anyway...Better players - Darren Huckerby, Jamie Cureton, David Marshall,Dion Dublin, Lee Croft, Christ Martin, etc. would all walk straightinto the Ipswich team without a battle for places. As a team we haven''tbeen producing the goods this season but that''s mostly down to ourshocking ex-manager. Would I trade the Ipswich squad for the Norwichsquad? No, frankly. You didn''t watch them at MK Dons earlier thisseason - they were abysmalMore Money - Goes without saying this one. Ipswich have barely apenny to their name - and despite both clubs being in debt, again, Idon''t think any Norwich fan would want to trade their debt for ours.And despite what you may say - it really is likely that the Turners arepoised to take over the club and inject some major cash in, so it''s allgood.Better Stadium - I''ve been to Portman Road every season we''veplayed them for the last decade or so (Heres some picture proof, too)[IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/mwncfc/portalooRoad.jpg[/IMG] and fankly - it''s a dump. The atmosphere isdull, it''s always half-empty and there''s a huge wasps nest above theaway supporters in the roof. Our old South Stand puts a couple of theirstands to shame and they don''t even own the bloomin place. WouldNorwich fans trade Carrow Road for Portaloo Road? Again, no, very few.End of rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
