That''s a very fair point. Foulger seemed to be doing all of the talking over the summer but surely the majority shareholders could have scraped enough together to match his, and the season ticket holders, offer?

Especially seeing as they have admitted that they let CoCo the Clown spend what little money we had prior to getting a real manager in???

[quote user="Downloads"]

Completely agree.

Sold the keeper, sold Clingan - that money is put away into the club, whilst the fans money is used to buy the players solely. Not good. In fact i would go as far as to say its taking the p1ss.

Lambo, I realise you are attempting to sound fair and balanced in your assessment of Smudger but "he may be OTT with negativity sometimes" is a whale of an understatement for Smudger.

Agree with that. But it ain''t gonna happen.

Once we don''t get promoted at the first attempt (and we won''t), the banks will apply pressure and we will be forced to sell players and/or land and/or the stadium.

Its gonna get worse unless she sells up.

Fool I am not Sir.......You have missed my point, I do not blame McNally and Lambert at all, I think Delia has displayed a lack of football vision whilst concentrating on off pitch activities for the last 5 seasons plus. She did not save NCFC, I believe that she was fortunate to have the assets that Chase invested in and now that they have sold them off there is nowhere to go. McNally and Lambert are not the Messiah that many seem to believe, they are using NCFC as a rung on their ladder and good luck to them. Little ole Norwich have finally entered the Business age of this century where mercenaries come and go to thier own gain, taking all they can from the unsuspecting cheque signers who ultimatly gain nothing.

Smith has (over her 13 year tenure) turned the club into a laughing stock.

Over £20m in debt (administration looming) & the worst playing squad employed by the club in over 60 years.

One successful season in 13 years is a pathetic return over a period which has seen the clubs finanacial position weaken year on year, even whilst we have enjoyed vast sums of income from a variety of sources, such as:

Watlings legacy

Play-off final takings

Share issues

Significant profits on player trading

Premiership membership share

Premiership parachute payments

Profits from ''Delia''s Catering'' (!)

Optimum gate receipt income

Record sponsorship income

 

Only Smith & her board can be held accountable for the financial mess that the club finds itself in after a 13 year spell of under-achievement.

I feel that a top 6 finish is clearly beyond the capabilities of a squad inherited by Lambert, and that our sole aim (on the pitch) is to gather sufficient points so as to not get drawn into another fight for survival at the wrong end of the division. Our sole aim off the pitch should be for Smith to put her ownership on the market & sell to the highest/most suitable bidder. Perhaps then, we can begin a new chapter in our clubs history & wipe this horrid 13 year spell from our memories.

Quite how Smith has been allowed to put the club into this situation without being hounded out ''Chase style'', simply beggars belief!

Although myself & my family are season ticket holders (my Father attending almost every home match since the mid-50''s, & myself since early 70''s), we have not been since the Colchester debacle & are unlikely to attend many more this season.

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT SMUDGER - SMITH IS AN UTTER DISGRACE!

Yes, but where is the backing coming from in terms of funds to improve the quality of the squad. Don''t forget that we still have not agreed the Compy to Col U for Lambert. With no financial backing, Batman and Robin''s abilty to save Carra Rud is hampered and they will soon be off to Kerpow elsewhere where their plan can be executed.

Ahh yes Delia, Michael and Foulger!

Who has not put a penny in before and since that error since relegation?  Ahh yes Delia & Michael.

Althoug I am in agrrement that we need a cash injection for the playing staff, do we not think that perhaps the cash has dried up? Delia has a book coming out at Christmas which should swell the coffers, but I can''t see them stumping up cash any time soon.

Delia has always only been interested in off pitch assets since she walked through the door. This being the reason why some other board members fell out with her on her arrival and consequently stood down from the board.
