Youre wrong 0 Posted July 10, 2008 I know this board isn''t shy of an idiot or two, who constantly and repetitively feel the need to bash our football club and the way it''s run. However now is the time to be patient and look to the future. We had our worst season last season since Delia and co took over but now is not the time to dwell on that. We have an extremely positive time ahead, a great manager - who is positively changing the way the club is run on the footballing side, getting rid of the staleness and complacency. We have potential investment from more than one investor - 1 of which will change our fortunes forever. You just can''t compare the current set up with those of the demise of the Chase regime or compare the way we were able to compete back then. So much has changed in football that has meant plucky clubs like us, like the scum, like QPR, like West ham(albeit they now have the investment) who sold their best players and somehow managed to replace them on a shoestring and still reach the top end of the top league - those days are long gone. Accept it. The only time you may get a plucky club reaching those heights on a consistent basis is when a manger is so good he starts an era of success slowly and surely such as Curbs at Charlton and ''arry at Pompey. The Delia regime is coming to an end and this has been what we have been waiting for, an investor who can build on what we have and hopefully bring success back to this fine footballing city. I for one just wonder what you doom mongers will have to moan about when we have money, who are you going to oust, who''s going to be the enemy, who''s going to be the hate figure in which you can spit bile at. I fear it will be Glenn when 1 or 2 results don''t go our way. So can you all just shut up for a little while until we need you to jump in front of the firing line when we actually do have a tyrant to oust.BTW - I''m not a new poster just a new name after a long absence, for fear of losing my sanity on here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tribes 0 Posted July 10, 2008 What a fantastic post "Crazy Joe". I can never understand why so many people think in this negative way about our club. Or indeed can feel anything but positive about our present situation. Our manager will obviously sign the players we need to challenge for promotion, especially with the new money which is about to be invested. As you say he is a great manager and no-one can possibly doubt his ability to take us into the top tier. We have made 3 excellent signings so far with the prospect of many more to come. We need to be patient, there are still 30 days left before our first match. He is no doubt working feverishly behind the scenes to bring in new talent. With his connections in football we can expect the best.These are great times for our club and Hoolahan will be our new idol. Can''t wait for new season to start.

KeelansGlove 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Im sorry to be negative but as for our form under Roeder being top six it may be statistically correct but I cannot recall a game last season where we looked like a top six side. The squad was week last year and much weaker still now.A few rabbits need to be pulled out of hats for me to be optimistic yet regardless of who is in charge. That probably requires spending some cash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the general theme of the thread is that as NCFC fans we should not now think in a negative way about the club. We should just be positive about everything that is happening. Roeders no doubt talent as a manager should be recognised and to criticise lack of signings etc is to challenge that perception.You must learn to think more positively, is the massage.

I think we did play well at home under Roeder just had misfortune in front of goal. I agree though we are 3 1st team players away from having a 1st team capable of promotion and probably about another 5 or 6 players from having a squad capable of promotion but slowly we will get there, with or without Peter''s investment.

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted July 10, 2008 Good post, the only point I would argue with is that it is possible with investment for "plucky clubs" to get to the Prem and stay there, Fulham, West Ham, Blackburn, Wigan, Middlesborough spring to mind. The key to the positivity will be the amount of investment we have, I accept that we will never challenge for the Prem league title again, I do not accept that it is impossible for us to get to the Prem again and stay there (or even become a yo yo club). To do that we need to start investing in players, I do not believe a squad that contains 6 or 7 loans is sustainable. If we had the money we could at least try to buy the likes of Ched Evans and Ryan Bertrand, we know they can perform at this level, we know that their chances at their present clubs will be limited and I accept we would need to agree to release/sell on clauses etc, that said they would be our players, as loanees we pay their wages but they could be either called back to their clubs or sold and their is bugger all we can do about it. Norwich City have always been a selling club and I do not see that changing, but we have always had half decent players to sell (Reeves, Fashanu, Newsome, Fox, Sutton, Townsend, Martin O`Neill, Fleck, Bellamy, Ashton, Green, Eadie etc etc), who do we have to sell now..?
