BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted October 25, 2007 A contradiction in terms, eh?What we now have is a benevolent, amateurish, privately held dictatorship notionally run for the masses provided that they pay seat subsciptions, support emotional share issues, play the celebrity game - say thanks, of course - and imbibe the community spirit. And it ain''t working is it folks?More and more fans are realising the truth - in this world we need modern, focussed, hardnosed, non-whimpering leadership with ''backative'' and business savvy focussed on customer satisfaction at every level.When will the tipping point be reached?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted October 25, 2007 The tipping point should be when the wrong manager is appointed. We''re not going to appoint any body with quality, it''ll be cheap old Martin Allen, or Phil Parkinson. It should Bruce, or Jewell, but Delia doesnt have the ambition....

We have been sold false promises for far too long now...and it''s only a matter of time before the turnips Smith planted run to seed. Norwich City certainly isn''t what it was...but that doesn''t mean it can''t be proud again once the celebrity circus is run out of town......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the interesting conundrum could be - if we follow the Turners advice and don''t "penny pinch" do we resent the board for not following in the footsteps of succesfull boards from the past or do we ''do the right thing'' and give the new man a decent chance.Interesting times!

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted October 26, 2007 I am waiting with rather morbid fascination to see the spin put on next the managerial appointment by Neil''s "Celebrity Circus'' to the huddled masses.Last time the story was that the board wanted ''a winner'' and that they had found one in Peter Grant - a winner, the real deal.Of course there was little or no foundation for this claim spun out so slickly to the anxious fans.This time? Well, isn''t it going to be interesting.Private business.........the people''s club? One of the worst things in life is to be condescended to by a dullard whilst being restrained by good manners.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
