They need to EARN the right to play us 0 Posted January 1, 2010 That would be Doncaster''s £10,000,000 miscalculation on the financing of the South Stand.Next would be Munby''s refusal to meet with Bowkett and the Associate Directors because he thought (incorrectly of course) that they were connected with Cullum.For sheer nastiness and stupidity Skipper''s assertion that people who wanted Worthy out were on a par with people who attack nurses is right up there.We had better hope that Mrs Wynn-Jones''s recent assertion that they had lost £11,000,000 in Norwich City is a mistake, because if she speaks truthfully it means that not only are the shares (& therefore the company itself) worthless, but also it cannot repay its debt.

Binky 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Appointing Roeder without a shadow of a doubt IMO. Grant was a mistake, Gunn may have been a mistake but Roeder was a disaster. He destroyed team spirit and then destroyed the team. His constant loan policy was only ever going to be a "get you out of trouble" fix which relied on signing good players like Ched Evans and none of the dross that he also brought in. In contrast Lambert has turned things around by motivating and getting the best from the players we have. In a word, by managing. I don''t think Roeder understood the meaning of that word, as exemplified by his treatment of Huckerby, Lappin, Hoolahan - and arguably Martin and Spillane...
