Supporters groups/Peter Cullum

[Mister Positive 0]

I am curious to know the various supporters groups take on the Cullum bid and Delias response.

[Kathy 823]

Suggest you switch the tele on, switch the radio on or buy a newspaper. Most groups including NCISA, NCST and Yarmouth Yellows have all had their two penneth worth there.

[Felixfan 53]

The S.C.G. met board members last night.

[SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0]

I think the responses from the various groups have been pretty much the same so far, sounds a great opportunity for the club, get around the negotiating table and sort it out!

Any feedback from Mr Tilson on last nights meeting?

[ncfcstar 342]

Yes, I would like to hear about this, did the meeting go ahead?

[TIL 1010 5,246]

Nice to see that Iain WALPOLE of the Norwich City Kitty is alive and well.There has been a lot going on while you were on holiday these last few days obviously in another Galaxy Iain.The world and it''s auntie including local M.P.s'' even Barry SKIPPER have expressed their views on the telly,on every local radio station,in the local press and even on the odd thread on here and other websites connected to Norwich City.

Being the guy who has got "professional solicitors and accountants on board " i think most people and certainly me for one would love to hear the Kitty take on this situation.

Any news on the launch that back in April was "just a matter of dotting the i''s and crossing the t''s" ?

As a public representative of Norwich fans Mr Tilson, do you find it beneficial to take swipes at people who in the past have had ideas to help to raise money for NCFC, but have not managed to turn these ideas into reality ? 

Do you feel that your attitude towards Mr Walpole encourages, or discourages other fans to have other fund-raising ideas ?  I would argue that your approach is unbecoming of a leading member of a respected local supporters association.

and the meeting.....?

[TIL 1010 5,246]

Yes the meeting did take place and Neil DONCASTER,Roger MUNBY,Andrew TURNER,Kevan PLATT and Andrew CULLEN from the club were present.

Believe me everyone around the table had an input on the situation and i think it would be fair to say that not everyone was in tune but we were all trying to sing from the same hymn sheet.

There is no simplistic answer to this as i am sure you are all aware but everyone including those inside the club want what is best and what the solution is i really do not know and nor does anyone apart from those who say "just grab his cash".

It would not be fair for me to express the views of the fans sitting round the table last night without their consent and i hope you respect that.

I know this looks most unhelpful and i am as anxious as the next man for this to move forward but rash thoughts and statements may at the end of the day backfire.

Fair enough re making rash statements although I presume it will be documented in the minutes in due course. I assume though that the question was asked as to whether they are in (or intend to enter) further negotiations with PC to see if an agreement can be reached to bring him on board?

John nice to see you being your same old friendly self.  As far as I am concerned investment in the club is great, all offers should be considered, and if they benefit the team by providing more transfer funds then go for it. 

The kitty is alive and well the website is very good and well laid out, the bank accounts opened. The hold up is solicitors setting up a type of company that makes it so we do not have to pay tax. I am sure most people that get involved with putting funds in to the kitty would rather hang on for the launch rather than give Mr Brown more of their hard earned.

 

[TIL 1010 5,246]

In answer to your question Jim obviously only a fool would not want Peter CULLUM involved in some way,shape or form and whilst i came away from last nights meeting with the opinion that the door is very firmly open on both sides how this progresses is anyones guess at the moment.

[/quote]Totally agree, Mr Blah. Virtually every post of Mr Tilson''s that I have read has been aggressive and snide. It has certainly put me off wanting to join NCISA.

[TIL 1010 5,246]

Blah and Robert N i have tried to be helpful as best i can this morning about last nights meeting but i sometimes wonder where people come from when it has been well documented what numerous supporters groups have had to say over the last few days.Goodness the supporters trust had a letter published in yesterday''s EDP.

I have given a television interview and been on a local radio station,Kathy has been in the EDP and EEN,Yarmouth yellows have been qouted.Rob EMERY from the SCG has been on telly and you wonder why i adopted the attitude i did towards Mr WALPOLE who started this thread by asking what supporters groups take is on the situation.

Your attitude towards Mr Walpole has been consistent for at least the last 6 months.  He''s attempting to do something to raise money for the team we all follow, god knows we''ll need every penny if this Cullum thing doesn''t happen, so why not just give him a break ?

As a volunteer representative, I am sure that you are happy to use every opportunity you have to make your organisations position clear ?

I didnt know Wiz was head of the ISA.......

[TIL 1010 5,246]

All we need now is Truthseeker and it will be a full deck.

The thing is guys join NCISA and come to an AGM and the answer is in your hands. It is called democracy but then again calling someone a pillock from the floor at a meeting might just require you to leave so just stick to whinging about me sitting in the city stand as you have done before CJF,question my educational qualifications as another did ,have a dig at NCISA being cosy with the club etc etc etc.

 

[Syteanric 1]

is it fair to sya that if Cullum acquires Norwich City then the Kitty will never happen? the agreement was made with the current board of directors and with Mr Cullum wanting to do things his own way he may not entertain the idear of the kitty.

 Think you might have missed the boatt if Cullim comes in im afraid to say Iain.

 

jas :)

[Evil Monkey 52]

If Cullum comes in with £20m for players, there''d be no point for the Kitty, surely?

"Here, Peter, we know you''ve put millions into this club and we''ve now

signed David Villa and Andre Arshavin, but we''ve come up with an extra

£150k for you... we hear that Andy Hughes is available now?"

[/quote]Actually I was unhappy with you abhorrent attitude and personal insults towards the City Kitty types.  And you are supposedly head of the NCISA.  You are a twit of the highest order.As regards to the city stand, it wasn''t me who said they sat near you and thought you were an a**h****

[TIL 1010 5,246]

CFJ i wonder why on earth you have read this thread as you have ignored what i have put on here in answer to questions raised but i do not suppose i have said anything that helps your crusade against me.

You get the hump about my views on the kitty and accuse me of being rude and abusive then again you feel you can be insulting towards me.

Fine.I have no more to say.No doubt you will want the last word though !

Supporters trust:

Coverage of the

potential changes in the Boardroom at NCFC seems to be all about heroes

and villains. The Trust has responded by stating that the

tone of the articles and random fan comments surrounding the potential

take-over of Norwich City Football Club appear to have created a new

hero in the form of Mr Cullum and new villians in the form of Ms Smith

and Mr Wynn Jones aided and abetted by the Chief Executive.

 

As we

understand it Mr Cullum was intending to work alongside the current

majority shareholders recognising the attributes both they and co-board

members have brought to the club. One assumes that any sucessful

business man would recognise that the "brand-name" of Delia Smith

brings in around three quarters of a million pounds annually through

Delia''s Canary Catering and the unestimable uncosted benefits the

"brand" brings to the Club.

 

Norwich

City Supporters Trust has never got involved in debates over the

ability or otherwise of our recent string of managers, that is left to

independent supporters clubs, we do however get involved in issues that

affect the governance of our football club.

 

We

believe that to create a polarisation of the fans either pro or anti

the existing majority shareholders will be so damaging that it could

tear the heart out of the Club and return it to position it was in

during the latter years of the Robert Chase regime. There is a need for

the Club to progress but this is best done through evolution not

revolution.

 

Unfortunately evolution is not journalistically "sexy", revolution certainly is. Ask any politician!

 

[Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0]

If Mr Cullum does take control and he nominates a supporter representative to the board, I hope its Roy Blower.

Secondly I would hope that the other director nominated is somebody with serious business acumen hopefully with some experience in a sporting/entertainment environment.

Surely the best solution is for Delia to accept a reasonable amount for her shares and get a deal done as quickly as possible, it''s not as if Mr Cullum wants her out of the club altogether. It will be nothing short of criminal if this falls through, most of us have been praying for something like this for years and now it''s happened everyone should do everything in their power to get it done as quickly as possible. I don''t know about these things but surely if a price could be agreed quickly it would only take 3 or 4 weeks for the whole thing to go through. We really need a strategy to enable as much money as possible for transfers to be avaliable asap while this is all going on..

Whoever Mr Cullum appoints to the board from the clubs supporters - I sincerely hope it''s not Mr Tilson. 

[ncfcstar 342]

I sincerely hope it''s not Blower as well, have people forgotten how he reacted when it looked like Huckerby wasn''t going to sign?

I am based in Cambridge and we get a different version of Look East and Anglia news to the one you get and the Cullum story was mentioned once on Monday no interviews a 10 second story. I can''t receive the Norfolk radio stations very well.  Our local shops have 2 copies of the EDP a day we don''t get the EEN.

So in answer to your attack on myself not bothering to keep up with what the other groups take on events is, then I must appologise for living outside of Norfolk

Like many others, I too do not live close to Norwich but I am still a supporter and a season ticket holder and Mr Tilson''s attitude and stance does him and the group he represents no favours, making the whole thing as parochial  and insular as I always feared and believed. There are many people interested in NCFC who tragically do not have the opportunity of seeing Kathy in the EDP or hear Rob Emery on the telly. No wonder we are viewed as a small club, you don''t have to read the Manchester Evening News to find out about United.

Get Orf my Land!
