We''ve had 8 players in so far (that''s SO FAR) when many people were predicting no-one would come.

Granted we have to wait to see how they perform but this is a rather pointless dig - if Cullum was in charge they would have been bought/loaned with his ''pocket money''.

Instead the Smiths and the Turners have provided some capital or used the Club''s revenue (ie the season ticket money) - what''s the problem?

Ditto constant unthinking criticism. Your negativity to all things NCFC seems to be automatic. You seem to think it makes you part of an exclusive club (with Smudger and Cluck - that makes it small not exclusive) that somehow is seeing the light when all others are to dim to work it out. In reality its just emotive rubbish based on a lack of understanding of the financial realities of the modern game.

Ps: Hallooo Neil. Bly here.

Neil: Hallo, Bly, what is your question?

Bly: I think prudence has played a large part in the City fortunes and two friends, Arthur and Wiz, agree with me.  Can you say anything about prudence?

Neil: Not really.  In my team at City we did have a promising girl from Sprowston called Prudence but she couldn''t play beyond 11 and at that time I didn''t have all the Criminal Record Board checks in place anyway so regretfully we had to let her go.

Bly: Thanks for that Neil. Is it easy to let people go?

Neil: Good question, Bly.  I''ve always found it dificult but some people don''t.  I think you would have to ask Glenn about that one.

Bly: Have you asked him?

Neil: Not before the cheque cleared, no.

Neil: thanks for your questions Bly.

Neil: On the line now from Barton Turf is Shola.

Neil: Hello Shola, what is your question?

Shola: Good evening, Neil.  Is it possible to pick up a terrace house in Norwich for under £20,000? 

Neil: I don''t think so.

Shola: Thanks for that, I''ll tell my agent what you said and good luck for the rest of the season.

Neil: Good luck to you too but renting places is still quite reasonable.

Shola: Thanks for that.  I''ll give it some thought.

Neil: It''s a lovely city.

Shola: I have a friend called Gordon who tells me I have been there but I don''t remember it.

Neil: Perhaps he was mistaken?

Shola: Could be, nice talking anyway..

Neil:  Next up we have a call from West Raynham Aerodrome from a Mr Canary.  Hello Mr Canary.

Mr Canary: Halloooo, Neil.

Neil: What''s your first name?

Mr Canary: Houston, Sir.

Neil: And what is your question about City?

Houston: I want to know why we don''t attack all the time.  Attack everyone, anything ALL THE TIME.

Neil: It''s a good question but when I was playing it was part attack but also part defending.

Houston: I''m not interested in wimpy part defending only in attacking.  Defending is for losers.

Neil: That''s a strong view.  Where do you live?

Houston: Great Massingham, Sir.

Neil: I certainly agree that a team should go out to attack.

Houston: Good, now you are on my side.  Attack, kill, obliterate.

Neil: Houston, time has run out on us but I thank you and everyone who has called in.  We will be here at the same time next week when you can say what you think on Canary Call.

Nobody knows how good these players will be until the serious action begins. We don''t know yet whether some will prove to be A list or Q list. Certainly at least two of them have played in the Premiership, so they should do reasonably well in this league. Also Kennedy should be coming today on six months loan from Celtic and he''s well regarded as a footballer. Let''s just wait and see.

[/quote]Come on Bly, you are just being silly because I refuse to accept you are that naive.Firstly, on Cullum.  If he seriously wanted and loved the club he like he says he does he would have it by now, in fact he would have had it before last Christmas.  Fact is he is approaching buying a football club like he would any business rather than it being a labour of love.  He wanted the majority of the shareholding without ever parting with a single penny to do so.  All he has done this summer is disrupt the club and the fans during a time where focus is needed in rebuilding the squad.Secondly and where I think you are being very naive is that I think regardless of Cullum''s money, Roeder would have still wanted to sign the likes of Stefanovic, who is the sort of centre back we have been crying out for for 3 or 4 seasons.  I also think that Bertrand and Hoolahan would still have been high on the wish list too.  The only difference, should Cullum have been in charge, would have been the prices being asked by the selling/loaning club.  Take a look through the transfer in''s and out''s so far in the summer and there is not an awful lot of money being sepnt, even billionaire funded QPR have not paid a single transfer fee yet.  Of the teams that were relegated, Derby have signed 6 free transfers and paid two fees, the biggest being £750k.  Brum have had 2 freebies and spent £1m on Marcus Bent and anyone who thinks we have a lack of ambition should take a look at Reading who have yet to sign a single player and look likely to lose Harper, along with the likes of Sodje.  Most of the bigger fee''s this summer so far seem to be a waste, Ian Hume for £1.25m?  Come on, I would not have wanted him for the £0.25m, let alone £1.25m

You miss the point.  Bly, like Cluck and Smudger word their posts in such a way they come across as tw*ts.  The views are too extreme and they cannot accept any alternative view points.  Now Arthur, Mr Carrow etc. have very similar views to the aforementioned but put forward rational debate that 9 times from 10 you can take seriously.  And while I dont necessary agree with what they say I respect and take on board their opinions, plus when I respond I am not hit with a barrage of abuse questioning my intelligence & allegiance.

Its all in the delivery.
