Baldyboy 0 Posted May 28, 2008 whats going on at this club is crazy, loads of players exiting along with loads of backroom staff, players refusing taking time over new contracts, dire football and a crap youth policy along with a massive loss of money. now im not a fan of robert chase but come on people things were never this bad under chase were they? surely its time for a change at the top in this club before things get worse, not that theycan get much worse, can they?

TheCardinal 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Isn''t anyone else getting sick and tired of this pessimistic dribble that gets posted here day after day? I can understand why you would worry - if we were in August. But this is May - and some people seem to think that we should already have our squad signed up and ready for next season. It''s ridiculous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
National express super guard 0 Posted May 28, 2008 I was then thinking same thing marshmallow. typical norwich fans!!!! you gotta love us, even if we were top of league some fans will complain that we didnt score 5 goals a game. I like to think the club is in transition, that doesn''t happen overnight people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted May 28, 2008 The light will dawn when the freebies start rolling up , no things were never this bad under Chase , but while Delia remains a female and celebrity to boot people will deny the truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 0 Posted May 28, 2008 marshmallow its not pessimistic dribble, explain how you can run a football club with no staff or players, im intrigued. and national express yes we are in transition but can you honestly say the future looks bright, if so again please explain. its easy to slag people off for their views but surely you should both counter the arguments with how things are gonna change.

National express super guard 0 Posted May 28, 2008 I''m trying to optimistic because the state of things at the minute worries me, I''m not disputing that, I am just of the persuassion things will start moving when the window opens. If nothing happens then, then I''ll be of the same thought as you. worrying times but surely, surely, things will get better, keep the faith people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCardinal 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Of course it''s pessimistic dribble - you aren''t giving Roeder et al the chance to make the changes. These things do not and can not happen immediately - yet that''s what you seem to want.Give Roeder the chance to make the changes. If things have not changed come mid-July, then I''ll be happy to completely agree with your point of view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobertMack 0 Posted May 28, 2008 There is certainly the potential for things to go belly up if our recruitment doesnt go as the club seems to expect. Equally there is the potential for the club to sign up all the right people with a winning mentality to lead us to relative success in coming years. I guess the truth is that your view on things at present depends on your outlook in general as we all have very few facts to go on. Some people will try to predicy whats going to happen but reality is that we dont know. For my part, I cant recalll anything like as big an overhaul as this ever happening, it excites me and until I have facts to go on I''d rather live with hope (even if ends with dissapointment), than grumble in frustration.We just dont know what will happen so lets keep the faith, keep excited, and keep realistic. Remember the reason we are now making so many changes is due to being at one of the lowest points in history. Under Chase we seemed to undergoe transition of players when we were actually doing pretty well by all accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Am I wrong or were we not hours away from receivership, not just administration, under Chase? Cant see how we are in as bad a position at the moment, yes there is a lot of recruitment needed, but as RM says above, I like to think this is a good thing!

TheCardinal 0 Posted May 28, 2008 So we were going backwards when we won the league? Or when we were in the Premiership? Give it a rest guys - if it doesn''t happen exactly as you want it to happen, then it''s doom and gloom according to you.I''m saying we should give Roeder the time to complete the changes he''s started. If it remains as it is with no major additions made, then whinge away. He''ll have deserved it. But I don''t think he would have undertaken such radical reforms without being confident of being able to complete them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
