Inch High aka Inchy.. 405 Posted May 28, 2009 Following todays offer of matching funds with rebates not taken(do you trust them?)then I put this thought to the NCISA members/comittee, if Mr and Mrs Turner were allowed 2 seats on the board for 1 million pounds each then logically if the fans match Mr Foulgers offer and say raise 1 million pounds by doing so then surely that buys a seat on the board for a fans representative?I think I saw somwhere that the NCISA comittee was meeting today, could this be discussed?Thanks.

O.T.B.C 0 Posted May 28, 2009 It would be interesting to see the number of people who are willing to do this, I for one would hand over 70 squid. But it would take a few good years and arguments to sort it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Board meetings must, by virtue of what is discussed and decided, mostly be confidential. Thus some poor soul would be got at from both sides! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soldier on 160 Posted May 28, 2009 Precisely Butler. With the percentage of shares that Delia & Co have a fans representative on the board will be meaningless. It is because of this I feel quite certain that will be Delia''s next move to build bridges.As Smudger said in another thread now is the time for NCISA to be very determined and very decisive in their actions. I hope that they dont disappoint as I applaud their work this summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted May 28, 2009 I got the impression that the Turners'' appointment was not just because of the shares they purchased, but because they were able to spend 2 million every season on the club. At least until they pulled out, anyway.Could supporters raise a million every season ? It''s a big ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrCanary 0 Posted May 28, 2009 The social climbers in our midst bother me. There will be fans who are currently positioning themselves to be ready to become a Director of Norwich City Football Club. One thing that must happen if a seat on the board is offered for a fan, is that the fan must be elected by other fans and not chosen by the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, there is a superb candidate out there already - former player, season ticket holder, loved by all fans as far as I''m aware, and passionate about the club too. Shame he''s playing in America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Dumpling 14 Posted May 28, 2009 This was the idea of the Norwich City Football Trust. They suggested that the rebates go to them to strengthen their claim for a fan''s seat on the Board.But who would it be? What would they take to the Board? Speak for the fans? How do you do that? Thre are millions of differing opinions on this message board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 0 Posted May 29, 2009 It''s a shame that Gunn was appointed manager, he would have been a good choice for the boardroom. As well as fans, we need someone with real business prowness and someone who has a ruthless streak but can work with the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LQ 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Why are you limiting it?Why say someone with business prowess or someone with a great attitude to football?Why not say "both"?As long as both are committed to working with whoever happens to hold the most shares (because that can change at any point) in a positive and constructive manner that''s a step or two forward imo. New ideas, new attitudes and a new beginning - that''s what this Club needs now. We all need a reason to see this as a turning point not as part of a decline anymore.
