SAFU2007 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Well, what a kick in the balls this morning, I am totally gutted like the vast majority of City fans.Whilst we don''t know all the facts, it does seem that Delia & Co have destroyed one of the most promising development opportunities that our club has ever faced......or has she?*Why did Cullum release his press statement days after Delias Norfolk Show ststement?*Why did Delia hint at investment at the show?*Why did GR hint at signings that would turn a few heads before the Norfolk show interview with Delia?Was Cullum attempting to hijack another source of investment by generating public support for his proposal? This could explain the "hint" at investment from Delia, knowing that a source of investment (not yet made public) is going through the motions ( not forgetting PC made his proposal known "after" the show )Also, GR has maintained his stance on new signings, which of course you would expect him to, however, we have had no news from him that we have lost the players we are after so we have to believe him until proven otherwise.Has the whole Cullum episode created a smokescreen to conceal the "real deal" going on behind the scenes- an alternative investor? I guess we will find out soon enough, if GR releases some big name signings ( and I mean "BIG" ) then we will have to assume some investment has been made and that the investment source will be made public in due course.If no signings of signifficant impact are made and no official news of investment is announced prior to the 9th August, then that is the time for the City faithful to let hell loose, until then, patience through these testing times but perhaps the banners should be dusted off and made ready!

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 11, 2008 I have to admit, my understanding before all this Cullum nonsense brokeout was that there was potential investment, though the emphasis was onpotential. It''ll be interesting to see what happens next. If there is no money coming in from elsewhere then Delia''s positionwill be - if indeed it already isn''t - untenable.Btw, SAFU2007... surely you should change your name and sig to SAFU2008 now....?

National express super guard 0 Posted July 11, 2008 its a good theory, maybe cullum had competition and was trying to get the club on the cheap, whilst someone out there is ready to value the club highly. my only concern is do we have two billionaire city fans?

Wembley_Canary 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Here''s to hopeing, hopeing that we all got this very wrong and infact Delia and Co were plotting away at an amzing masterplan to get us the investment we need to make a push for promotion.Of course that''s all it is right now a wishful dream, and I strugle to hope when it comes to NCFC right now, especially now our hopes of a Cullum takeover have been crused with a singe one paragraph statement this morning.
