William Darby 0 Posted May 15, 2009 Take Carl Moore, he must have chucked £1000s City''s way, and won''t see a penny back. I really don''t think there''s many people knocking around prepared to get involved in that kind of investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,746 Posted May 15, 2009 Having read the open letter to the press it''s main thrust was the removal of Munby and Doncaster.Now that these two have fallen on their swords this latest stance if reported correctly smacks of "job done ,we have achieved our aim now lets all support the new management and board".The big problem is that there are still major problems and we are expected to endorse what now comes our way.What strikes me strange about the whole resignation business is that when Chairmen,Chief Executives etc stand down notice is usually given so that new appointments slide gently into their positions.Not so at Norwich City so may i ask who at the moment deals with agents and managers to sort out contracts if our new manager wishes to buy and sell in the transfer market.It is of great concern to me but obviously not Mr Bertram and his fellow associates.

That has been my line for as long as I''ve posted on this board. Back in the mid-eighties I was told that someone would be prepared to pay £18 each for my shares. I think the rules have changed since 2002 though. I find this whole issue quite strange unless I''m missing something. It seems to me that whilst we could be better off with replacements for Munby and Doncaster we are worse off with nobody there at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Doomcaster still on the board I wonder? According to the club''s constitution the board must have a minimum of five members, even if they only need four to make a quorum.I think we should be told.

can u sit down please 0 Posted May 16, 2009 They do not expect a return on there shares. The money they invested mainly covers things like a ST for life, meetings with the board etc.....Also in regard to the change of tone from the AD''s....in the meeting the other night, the chef expressed her desire to get possibly 2 AD''s on the board!This istantly toned down any conflict that wouldhave arisen! A great pr stunt!The majority of ADs don''t srike me as "proper" city fans. There investment and the want of a "cosy" time with the chef comes first and football comes second!

gazzathegreat 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Excuse me there Blah, but I wish to register my disgust. I am a Barclay lady and now far too old to be considered as mere rabble; very experienced rabble, if you don''t mind! I have no wish to move (to fit in with your class system) to the South Stand or River End as I would fall asleep/wish the life support was turned off. As it indeed would be. Thanks in advance!
