holkhambeach 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Hi, folks, new at this malarkyHowever, seems like a fairly aggressive strategy from Mr CullumAs I understand it Delia surrenders at least 80% of her shares to give Cullum a controlling interest in the club and gets no money for them.Given that Cullum is worth approx 100 times as much as her, that seems a bit tight ( but then he is a Norfolk boy ).I think that it''s reasonable that she might expect something for them from such a wealthy person.RegardsAlan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted June 30, 2008 A question. If P.C takes over will the transfer budget for the 2009/10 season be as big as this season, ie 20 million? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Carrow 376 Posted June 30, 2008 [quote user="ron obvious"][quote user="Mr.Carrow"][quote user="chicken"]If I were Delia and MWJ I would take the offer when it suited them. They wanted to get the club out of the trouble it was in rather than their last major act being jumping ship as she sunk. Fair play to that, and if you take on board what Delia said at the Royal Norfolk Show I would imagine that they wanted this all announced closer to the new season so that our transfer targets werent mashed up, possibly even with Roeder agreeing.So I should leave all of the Delia and MWJ bashing until you have heard their version. I feel they still deserve a lot of respect.[/quote]If Delia and MWJ really had the clubs` best interests at heart they would accept the offer when it is best for the club, not "when it suited them". Honestly, when did two peoples egos become more important then NCFC?? Pathetic.[/quote]" when it is best for the club" has to be in their judgement, not yours. Or are you in possession of all the facts?Or does your ego lead you to believe this???Just asking.[/quote]Since when was "when it is best for the club" the same thing as "when it suited them"? Chicken is saying that no matter how good an offer comes in, he thinks that Delia and MWJ should be allowed to stall or reject it until it "suits them" to accept. Anyone who goes along with this is putting two peoples egos before the good of the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hog 0 Posted June 30, 2008 If this news hadn''t broke today then we would all being mental over the lack of incoming players, its the 1st tomorrow, pre-season starts and we are barely a team! Lets put aside the Cullum business, it doesn''t look like it will happen anytime soon (unless somehow it has already happened!) so we need to get back to the here and now.
