Us fans should be organising jumble sales, car boot sales, sponsored walks etc etc, in order to help pay the decent wages of good players like Stephen Hughes.

Between Happy Clappy and Clunky Smudger Loaners I believe there sits thousands of supporters and that doesn''t include the hapless NCISA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singing canary 0 Posted July 9, 2009 maybe if they used some footballimg knowledge before we got relegated and bought a striker in january who could score goals rather than losing 7 million getting relegated we would not be in this mess to start with .time will tell regarding how the new board members are doing yet we have needed a striker for a long long time .i just see history repeating itself yet again .yes im angry sorry for putting it across that way the canaries have been a big part of my life same as many for years .mistake after mistake and thats why people are getting angry .

Barclay_Boy 0 Posted July 9, 2009 shortfab - pathetic post of the day re the rebate, well done. the fact that NCFC have 18000 plus season ticket holders compared to the probable average in this division of about 3000, yest it''s still the fans fault that we can''t compete in the transfer market eh? you need brain surgery - BADLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singing canary 0 Posted July 9, 2009 well said loan .£350,000 not claimed that should be matched by foulger =700k that money should have gone straight towards a player who could score goals .player budget should have been set before people could reclaim anything .wonder how many more would have claimed the rebate back if they knew it was going into the playing budget rather than transfer fees .we have spent 250k on one player the rest is fee .considering we sold a couple of players the is no reason we could not buy dickinson and lee .i really hope the faithfull norwich fan is not been had to be honest .

singing canary 0 Posted July 9, 2009 how the fans are treated by this club is disgusting to be honest ,no way should the fan have to pay for the boards mistakes .im fairly sure if we went up to the premiership gate prices would increase .it works both ways this mess is caused by people who dont know what they are doing no one else .

I expect at least 2 strikers.With Martin and Spillane back and the inculsion of the youth players its going to be a very different squad this year........ A LOT bigger and more physical.But....... it will be OUR team instead of being full of loanees who only think of us as a shop window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We''ve spent badly for 5 years and we haven''t got any left and the people who oversaw those mistakes own the club and nobody will give them their money back so that they can p*ss off. However they seem the only likely source for any more funds unless Bowkett or poor old Foulger or Moore can be squeezed again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
