Big Vince 318 Posted January 15, 2014 Why is it that whenever we are in this type of situation we never hear a peep out from the club''s owners? It is about time they stopped using the chief executive and chairman as human shields and actually came out with some forthright statements of their own to prove that they have the best interests of Norwich City at heart. The members of the Board need to demonstrably show their pride in the club by stating that the rot must stop and act accordingly. Too much is left to McNasty and it is all too convenient. Delia and MWJ like to leave us with the cosy impression they are just supporters like the rest of us but for all we know they could be holding McNasty back from wielding the axe. The owners have more executive authority than they care to admit to and they like to use it when it suits them and detach themselves from the day to day when it suits them too. This happened on multiple occasions with Munby and Doomcaster and it is happening again today too. The owners should be leaders and be seen to lead from the front like the the boy Peace at WBA and the boy Jenkins at Swansea. Otherwise, the impression is being created, now as in the past, that the owners are sailing the club down the swanny and don''t much care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the bristol nest 0 Posted January 15, 2014 No they should not. We do not know who believes what on the board other than guessing. Anyway we are lucky to have them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted January 15, 2014 Its just like I said yesterday. If the players aren''t up to it, the manager isn''t up to it, McNally isn''t up to it, the board isn''t up to it, the owners aren''t up to it and imo some of the fans aren''t up to it. Why don''t we just close the club down then there would be nothing to complain about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlos Valderrama 0 Posted January 15, 2014 What an absolute pile of !!!!!Delia & MWJ are just fine where they are. One is a TV chef and the other a publisher. David McNally is the football professional and I would imagine that DS & MWJ have employed him for his professional judgement.You don''t have Joe Lewis of Tottenham going public, or Ellis Short of Sunderland, or the Glazers at Manchester United.McNally is doing a fine job with this football club. The current form and managers failings should in no way cloud the transformation our club has enjoyed over the last 5/6 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a1canary 0 Posted January 15, 2014 ...and the clueless guff just keeps coming. God i hope we win the next three games in a row just to stop the sh)t machine from spewing out this stuff.What do you expect them to do "in this type of situation"? Come out on the pitch with a microphone?Oh, you want them to PROVE their loyalty to the club. And their presence and experience and stewardship of the club in the last 18 years proves... what? Their job is to steward the club and provide a stable backcloth for it to operate successfully. McNally is employed to manage that operation. Whether you want them to "lead from the front" (wtf does that mean for an owner?) or be like other owners (some are more prominent than others - Abramovich anyone?) is just irrelevant tbh. They have fulfilled their role perfectly well in the last few years and nursed out club to a healthier position that most of us have ever known. The minute the road gets bumpy it''s SACK THE OWNERS, SACK THE CEO, SACK THE MANAGER. Jeeezus it''s such a f**king cliche and just embarassing to watch most of you. Yes, we''re in a bad place right now, we probably need to change the manager, but it''s nothing we haven''t seen before and nothing that hasn''t befallen several clubs before us this season alone.

TCCANARY 263 Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah, and where''s Stephen Fry? Not heard a peep from him. Perhaps he could say something that''s Quite Interesting.What about all the other famous supporters, if they really care they would be twittering so much that the twittersphere would be red hot, so come on Hugh Jackman, Mylene Klass, Alexander Armstrong, Jake Humphrey, Lord Nelson, Edith Cavell and the rest of them get vocal, we need you in our hour of need.
