Dont spend, dont achieve. Its that simple.

We spent little over £1m rebuilding half - I will repeat - half - the squad and people are suprised we are still underperforming? We are getting our just reward for the pathetic investment/ambition shown by our board over the last three years. Other teams have trebled what we have spent on single players this pre season. They have zero intention of taking this club forward. It is spearheaded by an embarrassment of a woman who has got no grasp of football logic what-so-ever. Think back to her interview at the Royal Norfolk Show. Her investment talk was a shambles.......designed to build up our hopes and then crush our spirts. Her evil grasp of our club is garrotting any hopes of progress. Its as clear as day. What has she done with all the money? Does anyone care?

My initial 15 game gel period has been cancelled...........Lets face facts, a team with no stars and no goal scorers doesnt stand a chance in this league. If we dont spend soon we are in serious trouble.

i agree totally well written, i thought that about the royal norfolk show what was all that about hardly major investment and everythings rosy ,even the manager cant be honest lupoli whos he two days later he signs, besides delia likes embarasing herself wouldnt be the first time.

Stupidly I thought the team were capable of scoring against MK Dons. They are''nt. Things were bad pre season, and much worse now.

The issue is no longer gelling. 15 games is no longer the solution. the solution is to bring in some quality players.

We have spent what we can afford, simple as.  Where has the money gone, into running the club.  League one here we come, no way.  We are one goalscorer short of having a half decent team.  A rebuild of the magnitutude required at Carrow Road will not take 1 summer.  We will do better than we did last season for sure, will it be good enough for some, probably not.

If you dont think the club is ambitious then you are a fool.  Trouble is all 24 clubs in our league are chasing the premiership promised land, it cant be rosey for everyone all of the time.

[Grando 283]

No way on earth is this club ambitious! Ambitious would be allowing Roader to purchase his preferred striking targets, not fob him off with young loanees.

Not ambitious because we arent throwing pots of money around.  Thats rubbish and you know it.  We have a budget to work to, Roeder will have his targets who fit within that budget.  In an ideal world we would spend £5m on a new striker, but we dont live in an ideal world do we...

''Ambitious would be allowing Roader to purchase his preferred striking targets, not fob him off with young loanees.''

Humour me here for a second, i just had a crazy thought:

Maybe, y''know, Roeder wanted those young loanees, and rates them as decent players.

Actually, how stupid of me! That couldn''t possibly be the case, i mean, it wouldn''t give everyone a chance to slate the board now, would it?

Never said she was Andy. It is her stranglehold on the club that is evil. Delia is a decent woman by all accounts and despite her embarrassments her heart is in the right place. But she must see that the club is suffering, she must know that we dont stand a chance of progressing unless we bring in some quality fire power. Over the last three years the club have sold players for big profits but for some reason or other this money isnt being reinvested. Revenue has been generated so why have we only spent a pathetic £1m on permanent signings in the mid season? I want an explanation mate.

and only 3 go down, so will we be one of those? if we dont start scoring soon, we may well be!!

Yes, maybe given his lack of support in the transfer market Roeder rated Lupoli and the lad from Portsmouth enough to bring them in, given that he had no other options. But I doubt he would have brought them in if his preferred targets were available to us (or at least they would have been only supplementary signings).

We''re fairly certain that in the past Roeder wanted Ameobi, Patterson, Iverson (possibly), and Rasiak. The fact he hasn''t signed any of these clearly demonstrates we have no money left whatsoever, which given our ticket sales is nigh on criminal. It''s fairly obvious to me that we''re on our last legs - I don''t understand why others continue to fail to see this.
