Sorry Nutty but are you now saying you are no longer in the gang ? Did you have a row and storm out claiming a lack of ambition or have you been approached by the Inner Circle because i am in that too apparently ? [*-)]

You seemingly are desperate for a post from me Nutty for some strange reason, so here are my thoughts:

From South to Watling to Chase to Jones......From MacAulay to Bond to Brown to Walker to Lambert....From Bly to Cross to Dehan to Sutton to Holt....

The one thing that remains constant is Norwich City FC.

Whilst there are a dozen people to stand at the side of a pitch OUR club will still be there.

The club belongs to the fans and not the individuals that pass through, they are only fleeting shadows that leave a mark, some for longer than others, but still only fleeting.

For those that support our club from the terraces, on the internet, on radio or just from the newspapers or word of mouth, that support remains WHOEVER is in charge, managing or playing.

We have gone through periods of success, mediocrity and abject failure; we have lived through hope and shattered dreams. The one constant being our support of our club Norwich City.

So get a grip, if Holt goes someone will take his place.  Lambert has left then eventually a new hero will emerge. Supporting our club, like any supporter of any club, will take you through that rollercoaster of emotions, that’s what being a football supporter is all about.

Those emotions and that support, we hope, will still be felt long after our place is taken “at the side of the pitch” by the generations to come

Enjoy the success when you can, moan at the failure when it happens but whatever may befall our club will always come through.

Blimey! What a great post that is Butler. Perhaps we are all feeling the same today. No fairytales there, just an honest post from the heart. Can''t ask for more than that[Y]

Chase didn''t loosen the purse strings and neither will the current board. Absolutely no difference.

Chase would of gone for a cheap-ish replacement and it will be very interesting if the current board do the same. I think they will.

There are direct parallels between events back then and now.If City do drop down to the Second Division next season due to a lack of realistic investment, I wonder who will ultimately be considered responsible? Also... who will at that point want to invest in a Second Division club in decline and in the stranglehold of Delia Smith?  Back to square one as far as I can see.

Oh dear......Reality is a tough thing to consider unfortunately.

[nutty nigel 7,645]

Just imagine how disappointed you will be if City stay in the First Division after another inspired appointment without Chase-like little ol'' Norwich connections. Not Phil Neal though. But there will be direct paralells to be seen if the club re-appoint Gunn for the second time like Chase did Megson. It''s interesting. Anybody friendly enough with Big Bob to get his opinion?

[quote user="A Certain Poster"]Whatever has or hasn''t happened there have been no virtual pitchforks wielded in the direction of Bowkett yet, and that''s odd because a number of of our present company were actively involved in getting Chase out, and the young uns who grew up listening to the fireside tales of their fathers facing down mounted police charges each rendition slightly more exagerated than the last must be itching for their tilt at saving the club too.[/quote]Pitchforks are old hat. You would have to wield a hay baler lol

Butler, I also have to add my salute for a wonderful post. However, mine comes with a question. Given your repeated attempts in the past to belittle my inputs by challenging the last time I attended a match then it''s natural for me to ask were you being sincere then or.....are you being sincere now?

Chase was not a majority (i.e., over 50%) shareholder unlike Delia & MWJ.

I''ll leave others to comment on your idea of democracy when you hold less than 50% of the ordinary shares of NCFC.

What we fans get really peeved at, is when these people treat OUR Club with little respect. We all pay into OUR club, in a various ways, so in my eyes, it will always be OUR Club..

These people (players/managers etc) come in, we pay them well, we give them a great platform to perform on, and all we ask is they treat us (fans/Club) with the respect any right minded person would deserve. When that minimum request goes belly up, that''s when we kick off. You are right, current managers/players/employees, will be long gone one day, but Norwich City will still be here, as will our support.

So Chase ran a democracy during his tenure did he ? Maybe you could tell us who else had an input into running the club apart from him then ? Jones with his 9% or the two puppets Paterson and Lockwood ?Do not forget his share gobbling up exercise or the midday AGM''s when virtually no shareholder was in a position to attend.

If shareholders (who held the majority of the votes) didn''t like Chase''s running of the club they could have voted against  his re election as a director or they could have called an EGM. and voted him out.  Thats a democracy.
