Roger munby outside pride park

[Erik Fuglestad 0]

last night after the game shaking people hands saying thank you for your support and keep coming.

this is a usual end of season gesture, any ideas why he was doing it last night?

 

[Captain Holt 580]

He done it at Coventry last year and that wasn''t the last game of the season.

I''ve been to loads of away games where Roger Munby has been outside shaking hands and talking to the fans. One memorable occasion after a freezing evening away at Bolton (we lost suprise) he was asked what he thought by a fan. "Bloody awful" was the reply. Honest and always approachable i''ve found.

So no not unusual.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Yes Chris, nothing unusual there. I sometimes shake my head in disbelief when I see him. He''s also always there if something goes wrong, like when fans were left outside Kenilworth Road standing in the rain waiting for an electrician to make the lights work so we could go through that guys house into the stadium! Boardroom politics aside it''s hard not to have time for Munby "the person."

What would you rather he do, say fuck off and jump in his car?

Chillax man.....

[bringbackterraces 0]

Its a long standing joke amongst away regulars about Munby standing outside the away end after another p*ss poor performance and result!

 

Thanks for coming!

 

Thanks for coming!

 

Thank you, thank you!

Clearly he did say just that...

I have a lot of time for Roger. He would have made a good  MP for Norwich. Delia did a good job for herself and the Club when she took him on board. On a different tack was GR right about the linesman at Derby? Was he right about LL being played onside?

[Mister Chops 7]

I used to work for him.Hard but fair.  Very charming but very calculating.

Yeh Roger''s a good guy. On the topic of the Lino he was inexpliciply awful there was several times where lita was onside, proper wound me up and if i was in roders position i would of given him some grief too.

[barclay_troy 0]

The away games ive been to and seen RM outside, it seems, like me he just wants to have a fag because of the stress of watching Norwich.

[First Wizard 0]

I found him nasty, arrogant and two faced, just ask Mike Walker!![:@]

[BIC 0]

Funny how to everyone else he comes across as a charmer, but to the board''s biggest attention seeker and resident idiot, he comes across as arrogant and two faced.Perhaps you want to work out why that is

[BlyBlyBabes 0]

1. He''s a PR man.

2. It''s probably the only convenient place he could find to smoke a cigarette in peace.

3. He''s ''being cleverer than the rest''.

4. He''s been briefed to suss out the atmosphere by the MSHs.

5. He''s a PR man.

There''s nothing like finding the best in people Bly and that was nothing like it.

I don''t know how well you know Roger but  having worked in business for and with him I have found him a man of his word and a total gentleman.

He actual does care about the supporters and NCFC a great deal. He will always stay and talk and discuss any problems and I have never known him to dodge confrontation from anyone about the club.

I only wish this were true of all the board.

Commercial over[:D]

Go on Bly - make it personal why don''t you?

That was my biggest problem with the Worthy Out campaign (and even the Chase Out Protests)and will be my biggest problem when people like you make uninformed posts like this.

Robert Chase is a Norwich City fan and a decent person. He made mistakes and got caught out. Many of us didn''t believe all the personal allegations about him, the calling him dishonest and accusing him of lining his pockets with the football clubs money. We just didn''t like the way he was running our football club.

Nigel Worthington is a good honest manager who had done well at this football club and always believed he still could even when most fans wanted a change. The personal insults thrown his way were disgraceful. I won''t list them all here but many of them had nothing to do with managing a football club but were nasty and vindictive to him as a person.

Roger Munby may well be in the PR business but like Delia Smith, MWJ, and Neil Doncaster he is always approachable at football grounds all around the country. Always happy to talk about the game and performances in victory and defeat. This has been the case for the last 10 years and not just since the no smoking legislation came in. Those that accuse them of only being visible when the cameras are there are in truth fans who only see the games when the cameras are there.

Fans may well have different views to the board on the way the football club is run but where is the need for uninformed personal jibes like these?

Good grief Nutty are you becoming my alta ego or am I yours?

[corbs 0]

Yep. Truth is we have a decent lot running our Club. This does not mean that they always get it right, or that we do not need new blood and new investment, but it does mean the self-righteous, self-appointed, key-board moaners can take a jump in the Wensum! Failing that MWJ''s heavies will have em!

What is uninformed or personal about this?

Being a jolly good chap does not make you a successful professional football club chairman in 2008, but it may well help you to be a fine PR man.

I smoked cigarettes for over 33 years and know the difficulties of not impinging on others sensibilities only too well. That does not mean it would not be a rational reason for an inveterate smoker to find himself outside after the game. I would if I was still smoking. It''s just good manners.

On the question of the ''cleverer than the rest'' quote, Roger made this observation which was reported by Archant just prior to last season - and you know it.

The old amateur ethos seems to have hold of a set of posters on this board along the lines of '' its not the winning, but the taking part - and how you play the game, rather than the winning of the game. And no, before you go down that route - the alternative is not Abramovich et al, its South/Watling/Chase.

OK, Roger is a nice man. Pity that he''s chairman of a persistently unsuccessful NCFC board though.

Its tough at the top - and far from me to say that nice guys come last - but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Yes, Roger''s a nice guy, good PR man---------------but with respect to NCFC''s performance in its core business - playing professional football - so what?

C''est la vie.

You win some, you lose some.

One love.

Oh, and by the way, if he didn''t explore the atmosphere among the fans after a match he wouldn''t be doing his job (for which he gets paid) now would he.

I never thought of it like that but you''re right. He can explore the fans feelings much better outside the ground after the match than he would reading this message board.

I suspect that he''s a sensible fellow - as well as being a nice chap - and reads this message board as well.

So don''t worry nigel, as I''m sure that your voluminous writings in support of various causes will not have gone unreported to the top table.

By the way, have you ever considered how intrinsically undemocratic, elitist and classist ''top tables'' and ''directors boxes'' are in the context of an avowedly community organisation held in trust pro tempore for the good people of Norfolk? But, I digress............
