Lets be aving you! 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Daily Fail got it wrong. Still, it would have been nice for Holty to bang more 2 hat-tricks a season past the binners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Canaryranger you plum McNally really couldn''t hide the fact he had sold Holt to Leicester, I think fans would notice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaryranger 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Harry you bigger plum - McNally could hide the fact the club accepted a bid, but hadn''t discussed it with holt. That''s what happens all the time at clubs. Then they discuss it with the player and he says yay or nay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lennon7 0 Posted August 5, 2011 From todays Pinkun story.."The Canaries’ reigning player-of-the-year has so far scored 65 league goals during his stay in Norfolk – including a memorable hat-trick against archrivals Ipswich last season"..erm, no he hasn''t, not far off though ! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted August 5, 2011 I''ve changed my mind about you Canaryranger, you are more like a pair of plums (well you talk it anyway) McNally wouldn''t have denied the story if there was some truth in it he would have kept quiet about it, he''s to much of a shrewd operator to put himself in a position where fans don''t trust what he says.

William Darby 0 Posted August 5, 2011 How I see it... my opinion Leicester may have banged a high bid in for Holt. Obviously we have/will turn down. Bid leaked to the Mail and the cretins have assumed we''ll consider selling.All I can say is, well done McNasty for knocking it on the head. And anyway past managers have said before. If other teams come sniffing around for you first teamers, you must be doing something right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury Yellow 2 Posted August 5, 2011 This is exactly correct. The Scummer actually stated we had accepted the offer from Leicester.Binner is found guilty and sentenced to watching every game at Portaloo in silence. Should feel at home!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star_manic 0 Posted August 5, 2011 if the story was true and was put to grant i think the response would have been very negative. no way would he want to leave us and our premiership venture to go and play in the 2nd tier for at least one more season.

Canaryranger 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Harry, Harry, Harry...Do you think McNally gives a shit about the fans! Shrewd maybe but once the story was leaked, the only response he could make was to quash it and say holt''s not for sale. There was an approach and just watch this space for any move to Leicester.

If the club accepted the bid, surely it would have made more sense for McNally to keep quiet and let the deal go through instead of saying that the article was not true, implying that a bid had not been accepted, only to then look like a fool when Holt leaves for £2 million. As it was however, Leicester may have made a bid, but I trust that McNally when he says that the article was not true and that "our captian is not for sale" over some random Journalist who gets paid to write stories regardless of whether they are correct or not; just ask Bethnal who works in the media, he will tell you not believe everything you read...

Herb 0 Posted August 5, 2011 As it was a clear attempt to unsettle the club/fans just before the new season, I wonder if the club has any legal recourse?I mean, does the journo get himself off the hook by using the old "a source said" and just saying "well some bloke told me that, so I reported it"Because if so, I think a rumour of a new Paul Jewell sex tape involving donkeys* is probably in order.Anyone know a redtop reporter?*that''ll be the entire Ipswich squad, then.

Canaryranger 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Brilliant! You''ve rumbled me - I live in a blue and white shed just down the road from the north stand. I am actually a Norwich fan, but not one of those deluded fans who think life revolves around the club. Football is a job and a business and the fans don''t really mean that much to the club. They''re just kept sweet so they keep pumping money into the club on matchdays and in the club shop. Back to the issue, who cares if Holt goes? If he stays, I doubt he''ll score more than 6 this season. Cash in for the past it striker and get a proven prem striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
