flecky76 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Squad numbers. Last few seasons they have been released to supporters pretty much on the eve of the season starting. So what was with the 1st July release, coinciding with the return to pre season training? Nope, I don''t buy the fact they want to make the supporters happy so they know who to put on the back of their new shirts - rubbish.Call me cynical but I believe it was a ploy to all but publically tell all involved that certain players are not wanted and are ''gently'' being moved out. Down 25 places and 11 respectively? There''s only one way they are going...A bit if spinning PR wise going on at Carrow Rd.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Block Y Seat 176 80 Posted July 4, 2014 Its NA''s way of motivating the players. Youre not as good as you think you are, prove me wrongH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablofarmer 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Whilst it is likely there is something more than shirt sales behind it I think that in its self that could be reason enough. Name and number adds about a tenner to each shirt and while you could come back and get it done later most would probably forget or not bother.That''s a lot of missed tenners!

Dubai Mark 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Its two birds with one stone, help and uncourage fans decision to have their new shirt printed and also a clear message to all in respect of the players with certain and uncertain futures. Not sure its "spin" though as thats propoganda based and this is the publishing of the actual/ factual squad numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul101 93 Posted July 4, 2014 RVW might have requested a change in squad number for good luck for all we know and it does match RVP''s at man united anything we say on here is just random speculation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Lafferty brings more to the party than out and out goalscoring and I think he will be involved more than our other forwards whatever formation Adams chooses. That is why he has been given the No 9 shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 4, 2014 I thought the ''Big Number 9'' shirt went to whoever is physically the most capable of filling it?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
