Bury Yellow 2 Posted August 17, 2010 Actually Nutty Nigel I need some reassurance that Delia has learnt her lesson and is going to behave like last season.''She has a poor track record (many) of bigging it up'' when the club has appeared to have ''turned the corner'' Two things:- i) Has anyone heard from Bowkett and/or McNally regarding the Fry appointment.ii) When McNally was courting our Lotus man last season and doing a damn good job on him complete with being given and wearing a City scarf in front of Anglia cameras, was this a McNally/Bowkett move to try force Delia to make a move because they are not getting anywhere with raising investment?In essence I am worried that perhaps we are going to return to the old parochial ways and that will drive away all three of our heroes!!Finally; I am not a relation of First Wizard...honestly!

Mello Yello 2,281 Posted August 17, 2010 I distinctly remember when Mr Lotus came to Carra - and Mr Mac was showing him around and doing the usual stuff when an important individual who may (or may not) be, showing some interest in NCFC.....It featured on the local news and in the local press....Promo NCFC scarf wearing shot etc... I also distinctly remember noticing Mr Lotus sat on the back row of the Directors box at Carra during the game....and not near or alongside our majority shareholding duo...Is that the place for an affluent and prospective interested individual to be sat - or be hosted by the club?There''s always a seat available alongside Delia, when Stephen Fry, Mick Dennis, Alistair Campbell, Ed Balls or Nephew Tom etc, are in attendance...And still no comment from anyone other than Delia on the current board, regarding the appointment of Stephen as a Director?

Finally; I am not a relation of First Wizard...honestly![/quote]Bury Yellow, I often wonder if anybody really believes that Delia constantly works against the interests of our fans. I think it''s just a wind up by posters on here. But then I read your reasonable post and I guess they do. So now I have this vision of Delia Smith being locked up in the boardroom when every good decision happens and then managing to escape whenever something goes wrong. Because that''s the only way it could be true, isn''t it? And then earlier today I read a post by Bly suggesting that we should show the same ambition over Bellamy as we did over Hucks. I think this through and come to the conclusion that the much despised quartet of Worthington, Skipper, Munby and Doncaster were more ambitious than Bowkett, McNally and Lambert. Or would that be a wrong conclusion? So what lesson do you think Delia should have learned? Maybe I could learn it too. At least it won''t have cost me so much money.

newyorkcanary 14 Posted August 17, 2010 Whatever Premiership team is foolish enough to hire Bob Bradley will be relegated. End of. The fact that Bradley is on that list is laughable. Sure, we had an OK World Cup, but that was in spite of Bradley. He is an awful coach. If Keano does get the boot over at Ipswich, believe me, we want Bradley named his replacement.
