alex_ncfc 686 Posted November 9, 2008 As much as I want Roeder out, I agree that the focus has to be on the board.Think about it:We start calling for Roeder to go, the board think "we have a card here and we can play it and get off the hook at the same time" - so they sack Roeder.New boss comes in.Typical new manager syndrome takes place and we win the first 2 or 3 games under his guidance comfortably.Crowd forgive and forget board problems and will think promotion is a formality, if not this year then the next.Performances dry up, we scrap around the bottom half of the table.And repeat...

gazzathegreat 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Exactly Alex, but how long before there are enough supporters who not only find their voice, but are loud enough to be heard? I don''t know, if nothing comes from the AGM by way of progress in the investment talks (ongoing) then I think some sort of protests might just start up. Add this to the possibility of being trashed, at home, by our lovable local rivals and the words might just become action.We can''t simply repeat sacking and hiring managers. We have suffered this for too long, it''s a quick fix, but as a result we just get worse every time. What is alarming me also, is the lowering of expectations. Are we really satisfied with not only the standard of football we have seen for the past three years, but the prospects of being desperate enough to beat Preston, Burnley et al because our existence in this league depends on it. Whatever we personally think of Mr Roeder, and the restraints he works under, he''s not the fundamental reason for our failure. He''s just the most obvious one.

Blofield Canary 12 Posted November 9, 2008 The board of Norwich City and the Stowmarket 2 in particular will not be driven out by any chanting by a few fans. It really is quite simple. If you want the board out you have to buy them out. Lets just imagine you get 23,000 people at a home game screaming "Delia Out". Do you think that will make any difference to her. She may be forced to stay away from the match but it will not bring any money into the club. In fact just the opposite. Drive her out with no new investment and she would be quite entitled to realise what assets she can. Fancy paying back the £2million she has just put into the club for starters? We can''t afford a weeks wages for Lita let alone paying her £2 million back. She walks an we are in administration within 24 hours.The only way forward is to attrct new investment on a scale which is pretty unlikely. Cullum appears to be dead and buried. He had no real interest in buying in so lets hope there are others on the horizon.Roeder is probably one manager so full of his own importance you could have 23,000 calling for his head and he would still think he wa a good manager. Remember we are just fans - he know best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to being thick and stupid I believe over the years you have proven beyond any doubt you hold the undisputed title of being the thickest and most stupid poster, not just on this board, but all NCFC boardsWhen you can construct an argument without insults people may start to take notice of what you post.

Obviously it wasn''t read out as was said on the thread. Maybe if I''d have written an email that fitted your agenda it would have been read out being as these meetings seem now to be held in your honour. So were other emails read? In actual fact I believe now that it was a waste of time sending that email.

Mook 0 Posted November 10, 2008 Why don''t some of YOU start the chants then? Perhaps there is a lot of people at the ground feeling the same way? Perhaps if any of you had the BALLS to speak up in public, rather than bleating on here about "Delia has to go", you''d soon find that you had 5 or 10,000 people singing the same chants?I''m not criticising your viewpoints. I just find it hilarious that you can call everyone else apathetic, or "satisfied to watch crap" but none of you have the guts to stand up at the ground and let it be known.I''m not going to do it, because I don''t have the guts. But then I don''t post on here, whinging about it 24/7. I think that''s a fair call. What I''m basically saying (which is pointless I suppose, cos you can do or say what you like) is - put up or shut up. Try it, and see what happens. If it''s that bad, do something about it.

[/quote]you are perfectly entitled to believe anything you like nutty - but obviously i was attempting to explain that (imo) before poor ole roedy is condemned to a hanging by the crowd, then maybe our under performing board should at least share in their vitriol, or even be first onto the scaffold,,,my last comment also attempts to explain that (imo) due to evolutionary and environmental conditioning, people generally stick together and support the status quo - because its perceived that there is safety in numbers///else there would be continual revolution and chaos in human societies,,,profer it how you like nutty, but i don''t know of many people who are happy with the board of directors and wouldn''t welcome a change - myself included...but maybe you move in different circles,,,equally, given human nature, i would also be amazed if any single person (myself included) would choose to stand up in a crowd and shout ''delia out'' etc at this point in time??? the writing has been on the wall for a long time in my view, but no-one dare say the words just yet ---indeed, none of the deadnecks around me had the decency to welcome hux back - who had been a fabulous servant of the club,,,why is that???...becuase its not officially sanctioned by the club???i see lita was paraded before the start in recognition of his loan extension - so why wasn''t hux paraded at half time say???i''m certain, if officially organised by the club - the whole ground would have cheered hucks - maybe even yourself,,,but its to the eternal shame of the club - that the majority stayed silent - no one threw the fish so the seals wouldn''t clap??? but imo the current economic conditions are concentrating the minds of many - disposable incomes have dropped by 25% in the last 2 years - and imo people will be seriously asking the question - should i renew my season ticket this time around???we shall see where people stand come early feb...but obviously, people like these, or the couple who left the ground at half time on saturday, saying they were not renewing are patently anti-club???

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted November 10, 2008 Lucky - I agree with some of the points you make - but you didn''t make them on the earlier post did you? I was replying to your comments that "most of the deadnecks around you are happy to suffer in silence." Now to be fair these comments about fellow fans have become so widespread on here that one fans "deadneck" is quite possibly that same deadnecks sheep".On this thread alone fans accuse fellow fans of being "deadnecks" along with other comments on this thread about fellow fans with "heads up their arses" and fellow fans "being happy to sit back and watch sh*t week in week out" and even the more restrained criticisms about "how long before there are enough supporters who not only find their voices but are loud enough to be heard" or "being astonished by fans still singing Glen Roeders yellow army" are just examples of where some of you on this thread must be criticising others on this thread.And there''s so many examples just lately on this message board of fans criticisng others for not doing something which they in turn don''t do themselves that in some cases you surely must be talking about eachother.The anti-club comment was clearly not aimed at you but at those posters who clearly state that they are anti board, manager, coaches, players and fans. The logical conclusion to this is, as you say, they will go away until there''s a club they can identify with. I guess every fan has their own breaking point but why do they find it neccessary to pick fights with other fans first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted November 10, 2008 nothings going to happen if roeder goes out.what is a new manager going to do with no funds ? send the loans back and get some different ones ?were far off being the best side in the championship, and were not going to go anywhere for a few seasons, its a bleak look at things, but its the truth.unless funds come in, then nothing will ever happen.people have got to understand this and that it takes time, being impatient isnt going to help.
