kdncfc 0 Posted April 24, 2009 It''s about time the local press grew some balls, I think that piece sums up many peoples feelings at the moment. I''ve never felt so low about NCFC in almost 40 years of supporting them and this Ipswich business makes it even harder to bare, how we can be so far behind a small town club in the sticks is beyond belief.

Syteanric 1 Posted April 24, 2009 isnt it time Archant questioned the board rather than prattling on about "where it all went wrong for City"?jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Official Joe 0 Posted April 24, 2009 [quote user="jas the barclay king"]isnt it time Archant questioned the board rather than prattling on about "where it all went wrong for City"?jas :)[/quote]To be honest, I have thought this for a long while, it does seem that Norwich being a ''one team'' city and Archant essentially being the only paper in the city, it seems in both their respective interests that they get along as both need the other.

canary cherub 1 Posted April 24, 2009 [quote user="jas the barclay king"]isnt it time Archant questioned the board rather than prattling on about "where it all went wrong for City"?jas :)[/quote]As the article states, when you question them all you get in reply are "clever explanations". That''s one thing our board are very good at. Question them directly and it just gives them a platform.The article places the responsibility for this mess squarely and explicitly on the board. I think that''s probably a first. The only way anything is going to change is if the fans vote with their feet in their thousands. It could happen but we all know it won''t. The fans aren''t directly responsible for this mess but they are colluding with those who are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taxing 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Roy Keane said: “I truly believe I am joining a club that has the potential, ambition and infrastructure to once again be a Premier League side.”Ah, so he doesn''t really then, does he ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hog 0 Posted April 24, 2009 A very good article that totally sums up the feelings of many fans, I still remember the delirious night when we first found out about Cullum, I remember chatting to another fan about how we were finally going to be a rich club!

blahblahblah 2 Posted April 24, 2009 Once the season is over, it would be good if people at the club took responsibility for the failure of the last couple of seasons. If you say "fair enough, we got it wrong", then I think most fans will understand that sometimes these things happen. It would be inappropriate to do this before the season ends though.

Joanna Grey 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Well done Archant for finally speaking up. Now, all they have to do is suggest an escape route for the Board (ie: a potential investor who actually fits our bill) then everything will be hunky-dory..... (maybe the season after next).

Mazy Run 0 Posted April 24, 2009 It''s mostly fair enough, but we should remember that Roeder talked confidently about taking us up to the Premier League. It''s one thing for Keane to say it, but let''s not assume he can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
