No Quarter 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Last night I was angry, but was still trying to remain optimistic. This morning I just feel sad. What the hell is going to happen to my club this season? I thought getting relegated would be the lowest point, but no, the thought of getting battered in this league is now occupying my mind. I can''t remember feeling so depressed about NCFC as I do at the moment. A win Tuesday night is the only result we can hope for, and the only thing that MAY help restore some confidence. A defeat however, jesus....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DONT REMEMBER YOUR TENURE AS ENGLAND MANAGER 0 Posted August 9, 2009 This is worse than relegation. I had prepared myself for the inevitable drop to the lower echolons but was totally unprepared for the events that unfolded infront of me. Totally shocked, this was not a freak result; that would have been 0-3. Still no idea how to summerise what happened.Gunn and the muffin maker have to go; now!!

......and Smith must score. 1,311 Posted August 9, 2009 I must admit that scoreline - 1 -7 - has an unreal look about it.It happens so rarely and I doubt it''ll happen again anywhere in the English leagues again all this season. Would therefore have to disagree that it wasn''t a freak result but it''s gut-wrenching that we had to be the ones on the end of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duffman 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Im just so glad my rebate cheque has cleared. I have never ever left early, even the Middlesborough game I stayed. This football club has become a complete joke. I cant wait to get to work on monday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Well, we certainly got a match to remember for all the wrong reasons. All I can say (without being banned forever from Archant boards) is that yesterday was just a prime example of just how far our club has fallen and the folly of letting someone have complete control of something and where it can lead.I feel completely powerless - I guess we all do. What else can we do? We can have meetings, we can protest outside the ground, but ultimately it doesn’t seem to register with the two people who can effect change. As long as NCFC can attract sell out crowds nothing will change.We change managers, what happens - only further debt, humiliation and descending the football leagues bit by bit.We change people on the board. Will the new personnel make a difference? We can but hope that they do. Personally I would like the new CE and the other two to INSIST on an emergency meeting for the board to decide once and for all just who is capable of taking our club to some sort of stability.Delia has had her day - for some she should never have had the chance to influence any sort of decision making. The past five years or so we have paid the price over and over again for it.All intention now must be on finding not only investment to buy her out, but to also seek out the truth about whether she REALLY wants to sell.We can all see what is happening on the pitch, it doesn’t take a football genius to realise it’s a mess. A complete and utter shambles. But, sadly until Delia and Michael can accept they will not get back what they put in (unless they make a truly concerted effort to find BUYERS) we will lurch from one crisis to the next.And finally, I am angry, not just disappointed. Not with the performance yesterday, but with the quote of the year (for me). Delia thought Bryan Gunn should be manager because “he deserved it”.Sorry Delia, he does not, and not one person associated with our once great club deserved yesterday. We deserve people at NCFC who know what they are doing and can rebuild the club from top to bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just go round and round in circles like a rudderless ship waiting to be torpedoed. A scoreline like yesterday is so horrific it''s barely believable.I must say I''m looking forward to hearing what the new Chief Exec and the majority shareholders have to say for themselves tomorrow evening at the Capital Canaries AGM in London......

Can you imagine what a championship club could have achieved yesterday?I have never gone with Gunn the Legend. Decent keeper not good enough to play for Scotland (how many games) and we have had several far better than him.Reputation built on his charity work(perhaps he has continued that and it is now in aid of other football clubs!)With all the trumpeting for the new board members perhaps they should have played yesterday!The sad part is I was not surprised at the loss and 1-7 is so far from reality as to make it farsical.
