York Canary 29 Posted July 3, 2012 I randomly bumped into a Norwich fan on Saturday at my cricket club in York and he told me he thought Holt would leave and a lot of people he knew in Norwich thought the same...but I said to him to have a bit of faith because I honestly thought he''d stay.. my god do I feel good now and just thinking about the majority of you in the lovely City smiling away is making me smile even more! What an epic day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Rider 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Mixed views on this TBH - fact is Holt DID want to leave (and confirmed his intention after negotiations). He and his agent handled this badly from a PR perspective. Yes it would have cost us a shedload to sign at least one new striker but if we could have landed £4M+ (possibly up to £6M) I would have snapped that up for a 31 year old.Many fans will now demand Holt steps up to justify all this stuff (to say nothing of his new £20k + per week deal!). There will be no ''easy ride'' as he is the ''talisman'', ''old hero'' etc. If he struggles for form I can see fans quickly losing the faith with him. That would NOT happen had Holt and his agent shown more common sense and patience. On the plus side, Holt has proved himself in the Premier League and can do it again assuming he stays fit and motivated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted July 3, 2012 I''m very pleased with this but the Club has simply acted in accordance with its previously stated order of precedence.For me, the Club has simply dealt with Holt in his turn. As for Holt and his agent, well they jumped the gun and in doing so showed disrespect to other players and caused unnecessary disruption.I wouldn''t be unhappy for a new team captain to be appointed because Holt forgot what it means.As for the vaunted biggest transfer pot ever I can only assume at this stage what is meant is the overall pot for signings and salaries has been increased. The effect of this is we will be able to offer new signings more wages so become more competitive.Credit to the management for holding their ground and their nerve.

Chris Hugh? 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Looking at the comments above, who said that football fans were fickle??!!?! What a change from this message board a month ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Completely agree with Yellow Rider. Keeping Holt on is fantastic news as he''s a proven Premiership goalscorer and negates us having to go out and spend £10m on another 15-goal-a-season striker.BUTHe hasn''t exactly covered himself in glory over recent weeks/months. He made it quite clear he wanted to go and didn''t use Twitter very intelligently. If he scores for us we''ll all cheer but I don''t think he''ll ever get back to the full legend status he once had Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 275 Posted July 3, 2012 Chuffed to bits. Was 100% convinced he was off, that it was terminal-just wanted a good fee for him. The Sunderland connection made sense and I was sort of happy for him to go there if that had been the case-back up north and they''re a good club. But bloody hell! This and Butterfield, a good day!

Mr. Bump 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Absolutely delighted that Grant is staying, but I thought the general consensus on here was that he was easily replaceable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a lot of smoke and mirrors with the West Ham stuff, but nothing else really. I don''t think any of us care now though because he''s here to lead the boys into battle without a doubt!
