Jonncfc 28 Posted March 1, 2009 It''s all gone quiet over there...Can you hear the boardroom sing? No-o, no-o...Boardroom, boardroom, gives us a song...Come on; where are you? Let''s be ''avin'' you.But no. Once again an absolute lack of any leadership whatsoever. No words of inspiration. No great motivational speeches. In fact, a board seemingly devoid of any ideas at all. Shameful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Spector 0 Posted March 1, 2009 The ironic thing is, that if they did come out and make a statement, they would just get a load of stick on here for coming out and making such a meaningless statement etc. They would just be told that actions speak louder ... etc etc, as with the players.Don''t you just love Norwich fans....

SNAP 0 Posted March 2, 2009 [quote user="Badger"]What could they say that would do any good? It would either be platitudes or damaging.[/quote]Maybe they could say sorry! My guess is that they will keep that until the end of the season to go with the plea not to ask for our 20% rebates. Even then i suspect it will be couched in language that will need careful re-reading to find the "sorry" bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[:|][/quote]Yes it''s a bit worrying that the Chief Executive should privately e-mail you about something on here when he doesn''t know your e-mail address, or at the very least hasn''t been given permission to use it.My guess is that you must have given your address to the Club sometime in the past - ? on a season ticket application perhaps ? - and he''s got it from the Club database. I wouldn''t have thought he should have contacted you in this way as what any of us write on here has nothing whatever to do with official NCFC business..I don''t think he could have too many any complaints if you complained........

Turnover fell from £37.4m to £24.7m (largely dueto £12.1m drop in income from Premier League and Sky), gate receiptsfell by £200,000 (fewer away fans in the Championship than the topflight) and commercial sales (mainly in the club shop) dropped by£1.3m. Overall debt was reduced from £0.5m to £19.2m, which is largelycomprised of a £15m "securitisation" loan taken out in 2004 to bringthe club''s debts together. Chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "In theyear covered by these accounts, and despite a £7m parachute payment,the club''s cash position worsened by £1.5m." He said the club''sfinancial position was "stable", despite the large debt, which he saidwas "structured and manageable". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two Tails 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Do you think that all the money comes in and sits in the bank account like your own does every month, or the Premier League wrote out a cheque for 30 million and said here you go. When we came down we was still paying Premiership wages to players, thats where all our money has gone, on wages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
