TheCardinal 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Call yourselves fans? On this forum alone are threads wishing we are relegated. Wishing we go into administration and wishing Bryan Gunn fails at his job "just to prove a point".Thank God this forum is not representative of the majority of actual Norwich fans who want this team to survive in this league, stave off the threat of administration and would like nothing more than Gunny, as a former playing legend, Norwich Sheriff and bloody nice bloke to boot, to succeed.Some of you need to take a good long look at yourselves and question just how much of a fan you are if you want bad things to happen to a football club you supposedly love. And if you still want those things, perhaps you should go buy your tickets here from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Bad things are already happening to a football club i love and have supported through thick and then for 40 years.Nobody wants to see us relegated and i am sure most would love to see Gunn succeed, he already has improved things as we would have lost at Doncaster with Roeder in charge no question.But it''s patently obvious in terms of success on the field, we are not going to get anywhere near the top of the Championship let alone the Premier League whilst the club is run as it is now.

They need to EARN the right to play us 0 Posted February 1, 2009 I suspect that this forum is representative of a lot of fans. We were disgusted by the very large number of our own fans booing one of our own players before kick-off on Friday. As with Wrath of the Barclay strip out the liars (the club has been sold), the scummers (administration would be a good thing) and there isn''t much left.

lucky green trainers 0 Posted February 1, 2009 fair enough marshy - the ''pull yourself together man'' stiff upper pep talk might work with some - but you should also consider that despair (or similar) can make people react in different ways...as in [:''(] or [8o|] or even [:|]the fact that some NCFC fans are expressing themselves in this way is merely a symptom of the perceived malaise/trouble (real or otherwise) that surrounds ncfc at the mo imo...sure gunny and the legends have raised the general spirit - but equally - we know that sometimes that isn''t enough - there also needs to be credible efforts to demonstrate a willingness to be successful to give supporters proper confidence again...

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted February 1, 2009 All a bit like a family Domestic really. OK for us to argue within but everyone else needs to keep their nose out. The moans groans are understanable but the bottom line i do not want relegation or administration and i want the team to win as often as possible regardless of the manager. As for the Board until someone comes up with any cash how can we criticise the ones who have. True they have done a crap job, but with their money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted February 1, 2009 I never boo players before the game, just don''t cheer the ones who I think should not be in the team when their name is read out! Admittedly when Roeder was in charge while I was always wanted Norwich to win I also excepted that every defeat was one game nearer to getting shot of the idiot! I certainly don''t want Norwich to go down cause I think it would set the club back years and we would be a few years at least before we got promoted out of League 1! People who say that relegation League 1 would be good for the club are deluding themselves. We can rebuild in the Championship with more funds before even thinking about doing the same at League 1 level! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singing canary 0 Posted February 1, 2009 i dont think alot of theese people realise if we drop down another division , lower gates to start , we would struggle to get players here of any quality .how getting relegated would benefit us is totally beyond me. i really cant see the logic in that ..

[/quote]There is no logic in it, that''s why. People think the board will sell up then all will be rosy. Quite why being relegated would make them sell I''m not sure. Quite why having falling crowds, even less interest from the media, even less ability to attract players and in all a lower income would help in any way when the root cause of our problems is cash in beyond me.

Chelmsford Canary 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Yep - totall agree with you a disgrace.As for going into administration - bad idea!!Just need to look at Leeds and Ipswich, neither of which own their ground or training facilities (I believe?) Due to paying off the debts they accumulated!I don''t know a great deal about administration/insolvency/bankrupty - but its clearly not an option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary in north west surrey 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Relegation would be an absolute disaster for the club and fans alike .We all need to get behind the new management team and players and show visiting fans what good home support is , we should NEVER boo our own players .As a supporter who lives near and works at London Heathrow ( shift work ) I don''t get to as many as I would like but am always over the moon when we win .Sure our Board have made mistakes but haven''t Boards of bigger clubs also , but when you are Man Utd or Liverpool etc you can absorb your mistakes financially , when you have limited resources like Norwich they are all the more noticeable .Having been to Fans Forums etc I have found people like Roger Mumby and other members of the Board very approachable , can fans of some of the big Premiership Clubs say the same thing .Yes of course I would love for someone of Peter Cullum''s wealth to come in and put the club on a firm financial footing and would love to be in the Premiership and in European Competitions but until then I will remain a loyal fan.

Smudger 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Fans of Delia or fans of the Club???Two entirely different things... it is fans like you who disgust me... we have every right to our oipinion yet have had the likes of your opinions force upon us for the last 4 years whil the club has been slowly but surely strangled to death.You may be happy to sit there and watch something you love strangled to death, but what gives you the right to judge others that aren''t?I will applaud you for being such a great fan when Delia finally leads us in to Div 1 and administration Sir...

ricky knight 0 Posted February 1, 2009 The only ones who seem to want relegation is this shambolic board and the are making all the right moves to help it to happen. I get sick of all this you are not real fans nonsense, just because we want and expect better for our club. You can be happy with whats going on at the club if you want but i for one will keep saying what i think and i think City fans are being mugged off, big time.

Whats a right winger 0 Posted February 1, 2009 What disgusts me is the constant questioning of the boards motives. I have no problem with people saying they''ve made mistakes, they have.
