The Chirp 0 Posted June 30, 2008 well... the EDP has broken the ''news''... Cullum interested in putting money into Norwich... It''s put everyone at the club in a difficult position as the fans won''t listen to reason... i.e i just saw a thread titled ''sod off delia'' - I didn''t bother reading it as i know it''ll be the usual bile about someone who has done a lot for our club... Norwich fans on the whole seem to forget far too easily... or are too thick... maybe both? ...not much to suggest i am wrong. So what will Delia do... what can she do? If she doesn''t take the offer (one that we actually know very little about) and Norwich go against form and do well in the league people will be ''satisfied'' ... if more likely to occur Norwich sit around the bottom of the table the fans will want blood... As usual... It is easy to jump on a bit of news that is ''positive'' and take it as read... We know very little about what Cullum has offered... It all sounds good and maybe it is... BUT until we know all the details from both sides it''s fool hardy to judge... I hope it is all good, a good deal for all involved... that way we all get what we want...Glenn with the money to challenge in the champ and hopefully put us back to where a club like Norwich belongs.... I can''t help thinking this is a very clever *read snidey* move by Cullum.. knowing what our fans are like... he''s backed the board in a pretty small corner where their choices involve either submission or putting their head in a noose and seeing if the stool is kicked from beneath them. I hope something can be sorted before the season starts.. the last thing we need are the fans peicing screams for the board to go etc from the stands from the off...

How long before you and other reactionary told you so''s decide that you don''t like, "where Cullum and his cronies are taking the club or some other utter drivel", grow up, go away or find something more akin to your desperately sad need for attention. perhaps a clown at kid''s parties or something similar.

I don''t think i have read more than two posts from you that have added something to a conversation... it''s all catty comments like some old disliking mother in law... pretty pathetic really... Sure you''re a nice wizard really who has some brains under your pointed hat... often though it seems you choose not to use them... I mean do you take everything literally? do you believe all you read in the papers? what do you know set in stone about other investors? do you actually what goes on in the boardroom...? pray do tell what has kept this club afloat in the last 4 years... please don''t say parashoot payments as it will just show how very little you understand about running a business/football club - now these two are the same thing. I would like you for once to answer me.. keeping to the question, with detail and keep the answer relevent... Almost angry that so many norwich fans are that naive... no wonder so many people think Norfolk people are inbred... if they read some of the comments from posters on here they would seriously wonder if we have any brains! ...oh well.

Yelverton Yella 0 Posted June 30, 2008 I absolutely agree with Jameswallis on this.I am sure 1st Wizard has been involved in plenty of takeover battles in his career (as I have- oh and Mr Cullum has) and so will understand exactly how the process works- all the preamble, negotiation, valuation, due diligence, warranty documents, audits etc that have to take place before anything can be finalised... it does therefore seem a little odd that he is advocating taking the first offer on the table without even trying to obtain the best possible price (i.e. from our perspective that which provides the most money for players) but I am sure he will have a good explanation for his tactics....

Blofield Canary 11 Posted July 2, 2008 Without sitting down with a calculator for half an hour theses figures are very approximate.Assuming all her shares were bought at £25 each and she does achieve £30 (which is very doubtfull) she will make around £1.6 million for money the club has had for up to 12 yearsOn the money loaned to the club she will make nothing. At a conservative estimate of 6% return over that period she would have made over £15 million Now tell me she has lost nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
