She’s trying to sell, we all know it so there''s no point pretending otherwise. Smith will probably give her stake away, she‘ll be gone in a twinkling of an eye. The only thing that will stop her is administration; which will never happen.
 
Sullivan not even talking to her, as I am sure he hasn''t, is a joke.
 
She’s said she doesn’t expect anything back on her investment so Sullivan not making a reasonable offer is a joke. When I say reasonable offer, I mean £0. Jeez he''s had long enough to put in an offer - but he hasn''t. Because he does not want to. And we are now suffering because of this selfishness.
 
Face it. He DOES NOT want to buy. He will find any excuse not to make an offer; assisted by some of our muppet fans who happily gobble up this notion he’s "gagging" to put millions into the club.

When I spoke to him at a private meeting last night he said that not only did she not want anything for her shares but she was willing to pay him to take them off her hands.

The only proviso being that he had to guarantee to bank roll the club for the next 50 years and move to the Mile Cross estate to prove that he was a TRUE son of a (here he mumbled) I think he said Norfolk but not positive[:D]

Don''t make rash assumptions Bla.

In the late sixties, when I was fortunate enough to own an insurance book.(you are probably to young to know about them shilling a week policies) My area was Larkman,Earlham and Mile Cross (amongst other bits) and I enjoyed EVERY minute of it.

Well, I grew up as a Larkman boy. My memory was that, in those days, the few ambitious ones in our number "aspired" to the loftier Mile Cross estates. I subsequently decided to leave altogether which turned out to be the best decision for me.

I agree, but I don''t think anyone suggested there were bad areas. I certainly didn''t in my post. I took this theme into work last night and informed them that those who cross the river from Jex, Larkman and beyond could have discount where as those from Hellesdon, Mile Cross and beyond had to pay full whack. We are in a recession, cuts have to be made and a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Did anyone else notice how the place names in The Bill used to bear a resemblance to areas of Norwich? Like Sun Hill / Sunny Hill and Larkman Estate / Larkmead Estate?

Let`s see them then CP.  As you well know for every statement such as Harris` there is one contradicting it such as Delias "Not for sale,no" at the Capital Canaries meeting. 

[/quote]Mr.Carrow, I thought you would never ask. I freely forgive No.2 on the grounds of sleep deprivation but even so it counts as something stated as a fact that is simply not true.1. "She doesn''t want to sell....Mr Harris has been instructed to seek

[only minority] investment." Not true. Harris''s brief always

has been to seek all kinds of investment - minority, majority or both.

This was confirmed to me privately in writing by a director at the

start of this year. But you don''t have to believe that. Harris himself

said the same in his interview in the Canary Preview. And Bowkett said

it quite plainly in the recent Q&A. "He [Harris] has a remit to

find investment and/or a possible new owner." Bear in mind that is the

highly-experienced chairman of a plc making a public statement. Someone

who - if he was lying about this - could easily be shown to be lying.

Fans may continue to think that deep down Delia doesn''t want to sell.

But it is a fact that Harris''s remit includes finding potential new

owners.

2. "Our owners turned down an investment of £25m." Not true. The global

figure Cullum was prepared to spend acquiring the club was £20m.

3. "[Smith and Jones] telling Cullum the club would cost £56m." The old

ones are the best. Not true. Smith and Jones never told Cullum that.

[Mr.Carrow 380]

CP:

1,  "Delia doesn`t want to sell" is quite compatable with the idea that she might sell if the perfect person/offer came along (head ruling heart etc.), therefore it is not a proveably made up/untrue statement.  Pretty basic stuff really.  You are arguing that words are proof- they are not, otherwise you know what "not for sale, no" proves don`t you?

2,  I guarantee a simple and obvious mistake will still be being brought up in six months time to score some childish points- which says more about the mentality of some posters on here than anything else.

3,  This was the breakdown provided by the club to the fans when the Cullum thing broke.  The fact that many people misunderstood it is annoying but hardly surprising. 

So that`s nought out of three- would you like another go, or accept that some posters on here are so petty that they want to throw around accusations of people "making things up" because they don`t like their opinion?

[/quote]No, Mr.C, it is three out of three. It was stated that Harris''s remit does not include finding a buyer. It does. It was stated that Cullum''s figure was £25m. It wasn''t. It was £20m. It was stated that the club told Cullum it would cost him £56m. It didn''t.

[Mr.Carrow 380]

Where is it stated that Harris`s remit does not include finding a buyer?  Where is your proof that the club didn`t tell Cullum it would cost £56m?  Where is your proof that a director wrote to you?  Or have you made it all up?  Petty i know, but it works both ways pal...

Just a further thought to the people who want Delia to be less choosy about whom the club should be sold to: How would you like Carrow Road named like an email address in the style of Newcastle United?

I believe due diligence should work both ways if and when the club is sold, we should be cautious about any potential new owners, as for any mistakes that have been made in Delia''s time: she does care about Norwich City FC.

[/quote]Mr.C,  you said yourself the £56m wasn''t true! As for Harris and his remit, I don''t need to prove a director wrote to me because I haven''t relied on that. The statements from Harris and Bowkett are all the proof anyone needs that Harris''s remit includes finding a new owner.Frankly, the stuff about Cullum is all water under the bridge, but the point about Harris''s remit is relevant to the here and now. It is a fact that his remit includes trying to find a new owner. If fans want to believe S&J will then put obstacles in the way of a deal, they are welcome to have that opinion.For what it is worth, I have a £100 bet with myself that Smith and Jones will have voluntarily (as opposed to having been forced by administration or the imminent threat thereof) given up ownership of NCFC plc by the beginning of the 2013/2014 season.I am happy to close this (non-)circular argument by extending that bet to you!

depends if you want trouble or not , the guy who set fire to my neigbours car had lost the plot , the is good and bad everywhere .if you dont want trouble you stay away from it  easy as really . all you have to do is watch jeremy kyle ... some of the people on there are on there because of thier own making no-one elses . if you keep you nose clean and try and get on with people it makes life alot easier .
