Old Shuck 183 Posted November 10, 2007 Couldn''t agree more.They are presiding over the death of our club. When we are relegated at the end of this season, the financial hit we take will be so severe, the club will have a struggle on its hands to ever recover. Are our Board aware of that, do they know what relegation will bring and how it will forever tarnish them and their names amongst the supporters of this club, and how they and their contribution will be viewed in its history?Delia talks about finding "idiots" to take the club off their hands-people then say its not that easy, as, just to pay off the debts & give the Manager some money to bring in some quality AND pay off some of the dross currently on the books and still playing for us, someone, somewhere, will need to come up with £20 Million plus. So, who presided over a club that, despite a season in the Premiership is madly, crazily, stupidly now more in debt than before we went in it! Who were the real IDIOTS that ran the club whilst that noose of a debt steadily got bigger and bigger and bigger? Who are the real idiots?Should we accept the inevitable and file for administration here and now? Yes, we''d lose the points but we''re dead meat anyway. As the club stands, no-one much will ever be interested in plouging money in, but, after admininstration, a new and "clean" Norwich City FC 2008 Ltd might just garner some interest?Mind you, I am perhaps being naive-is it the answer (administration) and are we actually either eligible for it or in a position where-by we could apply for it?

[/quote]Very good and heartfelt post but i believe that the amount of land the club own is one of the major reasons why they can`t even contemplate going into administration ie., they could lose the lot including the ground and training complex. Of course buying all this land and paying for plush, expensive buildings to be put up on it is the major reason the club is in so much debt in the first place.......[:S] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,889 Posted November 11, 2007 Fiddling while Rome burns.Yes, the main focus should always be the football team. I appreciate that some off-field business ventures are profit making. But compared to the kind of financial hit the club will take if it gets relegated, it pales into insignificance. Football first, always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its clear she is holding out for a fat profit for her shares, after building hotels, offices, pubs etc. they have soared since she bought them off watling - if she was any kind of supporter, she would let them go for cost price.
