So what if we have to pay a quid to get into the open day, so what if those that are silly enough to pay for the overpriced food and drink at the ground have to pay another 25p for the previlage.David McNally is doing what every good cheif excutive is doing during difficult economic times, getting people to work harder for their salary and getting value for money for his organisation. Perhaps we should just be run like Palace or Pompey?You forget that McNally got Lambert his job and we are no longer seen as pushovers in the transfer market. David McNally is the best thing that happened to this football club in a very long time and i for one am very happy to have him here as our CEO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think McNally can deliver that, or at least can deliver more of that than Doomcaster ever could.We need to reduce our enormous debt and stop wasting money, and if McNally and co can do that then good on them.

The Lucky Nine 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Sideshowtim, you seem to have turned a very simple statement into a load of stuff that I did not say. I am only putting the idea accross that he may not be the champion that many of the fans think he is. If things dont go well on the field this season fans will quickly become bored of him and his ways.I too thought he was the greatest thing since Mike Walker - but I am starting to hear more and more things that I dont like, which may or may not make it into the open before to long.

PurpleCanary 6,381 Posted August 4, 2010 Way too early to tell whether McNally (and Bowkett) are going to be good[Y] or bad[N] for Norwich City. But there is already one certainty. Justifying prices rises on the basis that they will reduce queues is a more hilariously blatant bit of spin[;)] than anything Doncaster dreamed up. If there was any justice there would be a prize[^] for which it would be eligible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,572 Posted August 4, 2010 The Chief Exec and the new Chairman are fortunate in the fact that the crowds were healthy, well before they arrived on the scene....It might have been a different kettle of fish if we were only attracting 12 to 15,000 and that they had to also address and boost and increase a flagging fan-base; as well as the floundering finances and the other NCFC business problems.We do have to be cruel to be kind to drag ourselves out of the morbid money mire that we''ve been drawn into, and I think that the large majority of the support do accept the cut and thrust way that the CE and Mr Bowkett have gone about their business - and that the price increases are a necessary and ruthless requirement, if we want to create a stable platform for the future of the club.But the board must also accept that Norfolk isn''t a high wage earning County - and that the tolerant and unwavering fans loyalty with their disposable income, will at some stage reach a point where something has gotta give.....Will it be their loyalty or their disposable income....
