But i understand that the issue is more complicated than that and that Delia, once again, stated something which came across wrongly which is why i stated "borderline racist"- not "clearly racist", nor am i "happy to brand Delia a racist".

Unfortunately I got a bit sidetracked by the Shinawatra issue, but that''s no real excuse.Hope that clears things up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[^o)][/quote]To be honest, Mr C, I wasn''t really aiming the comment at you, more the people who are clamouring for anyone - and by anyone, we''re talking some real shady characters who it''s highly likely do not have the club''s best interest at heart - to come in a take the entire football club over.Yet we''re informed on a regular basis that our "loan" players won''t play their best because they don''t have the interest of the club at heart. That understanding Norwich City is a pre-requisite to being a good for the club.How can both viewpoints be right?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow hammer 0 Posted March 5, 2009 [quote user="Mr.Carrow"]Fascinating YH, thanks for your efforts. I`ve been trying to get across the point that a formal offer would be the FINAL part of negotiations rather than the opening gambit for months now.Have you thought about going to the press with your story? Upon relegation you`d have thought even Archant would have the balls to take on a story like that.[/quote]Apologies for not getting back to you earlier Mr. Carrow but I''ve been extremely busy. I''ve sat on this story for a couple of years because I always had hoped that somehow the board might just pull their finger out and start doing something about our plight. If they had something and our position improved then there wouldn''t have been any need to reveal these facts - we all would have been happy campers.But with relegation looming, my motivatioin for telling the story at this time was to stifle the board coming out with spin such as ''they''ve tried their hardest to find investors'' and ''we did everything we could''.At this moment in time I accept their probably are no investors, any one with money will wait until the economic crisis is over and then pick over the bones of what is left behind - not just in football but also in the general economy.Still it''s good to see a lot of posters coming up with concrete suggestions as to how to improve our club, and I will always keep an eye out for an opportunity to help NCFC, whether it involves a foreigner or not.

PaulyH 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Ha Brilliant story YH, I haven''t laughed as hard since Ma caught here ti*s in the mangle!Keep up the good work. Loved you angle on why we are not as hated as Man U. That really would put off potential investors. Must do better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
