The Fish Seller 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Upon taking up his new appointment as Chief Executive of SPL Doomy gave the BBC an interview outside Hampden Park. During this interview Doomy was asked about his time with Norwich, the question asked was "Do you feel you failed at Norwich City then" and Doomy responded how? a) We had eleven years of really tremendous success?b) We had eleven years of the sort of ups and downs you expect in football, playoffs, promotion and relegation I experienced eveything football has to give and then some with the relegation to the 1st division so soon after the first relegation?c) We had some exciting times none more so than our year of promotion to the Premiership but ultimately the Premiership is a League for clubs with big money backers so we had to use the experience and increased expenditure primarily to safeguard the future of the club?d) We consolidated our Championship status for several years before finally breaking in to the top tier at which point we had to make the conscious decision not to blow several years of hard work and expenditure on what was likely to be a short lived excursion to the Premiership.e) It wasn''t me it was Delia.For those incorrigible cheats the interview is here.

Yellow Shirt 17 Posted July 10, 2009 I''m looking forward to his genius negotiating skills completing such deals as the SPL paying Sky to take the rights to the big matches and enabling Celtic and Rangers to split off and play in England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
