Forget this democratic boardroom nonsense.

Recommended Posts

The board are irrelevant.

 

When Delia stomps her feet along with lardy Winnie they have the majority of shares and they can do what they damn well like.. they own the club.

 

Democracy at City will always come 2nd here!

 

That''s why we had Gunn and Adams as managers..........Delia demanded it so imo.

i do agree the owners like managers they can control , you can see lambert demand this player then knocking on the door i need this player etc i think adams will ask and if answer is no neil he would accept it that''s the way they like it ,i believe that''s why we didn''t get a real manager in because they would have more power than little neil

If Delia got her way with Adams and yes she should step aside as I would like my club to move forward.

I do Jack but there''s a fair few on here who actually believe the board run the club, they''re wrong imo and gullible .

I don''t dispute any of this, its the charade that the Board are in control which bugs me, they''re not, they are just thralls of Delia and Wynn, and they''re making a right hack of it .............again!

Incredibly negative.As for you running the club?!! Sheesh! It''s bad enough trying to keep up with your up''s and down''s on here let alone running a business! I mean you''d be quitting two or three times a year, leaving the club in limbo and then reappearing, stating that you were never serious in the first place.I doubt you would pass the FA''s somewhat dubious ''fit and proper'' test . . . . .

[/quote]Well said, Wiz. It is brave of you to acknowledge that all the success we have had in the 17 years Smith and Jones have been autocratic owners has been entirely down to them. Not for you the malign sophistry that blames them for every mistake and dishonestly attributes all the success to others.In those seventeen years we have had only one season of failure, 12 of solid stability and four of outright success beyond our natural station in the football pyramid.As you so rightly point out, for a medium-sized and cash-poor club that is a record pretty much all our similar rivals would kill for, as would markedly bigger clubs such as Nottingham Forest and Leeds.You have your critics on this message-board, but some of them could profitably follow this example of yours of clear-sightedness and intellectual honesty.

With reference to Purple''s response rather than Wiz''s OP, of course... need an edit button!

Hull, Swansea, Crystal Palace, QPR and Southampton all similar sizes to us Purple, I bet they''re all gagging for a Delia now.

It is simply too early to judge how this season is going to pan out. We lost a tight away game 1-0 after going down to 10 men, we didn''t play great but it''s a 46 game season. There''s a lot more to come from this squad.

Calm down!

On a totally unrelated matter to the OP smoking a bunch of crack makes you prone to paranoid and delusional outbursts

So does being your own sister, brother and cousin, apparently...

Something telss me all it not well financially at Southampton, as for the others who knows, they could be gambling millions on chasing the Premieship dream. I doubt very much that any club is run as a democracy, however I have to say that some of what Wiz says resonates with me, a good friend of mine (who is a WHU fan) had cause to meet and talk with Delia in his line of work, he complimented her on Delias restuarant but said he felt NCFC had made the wrong choice in selecting Neil Adams, her response was that he should be given time as he is "a nice man"...........not exactly the criteria I would be looking for in a football manager...........

[/quote]I can''t be bothered to provide the statistics for all those clubs over 17 years, wiz, which is the correct comparison. But if you take QPR, despite being owned by absurdly rich people, including one of the dozen richest men on the planet, their 17-year record is two seasons in the Premier League, 11 in the second tier, and four in the third tier. Smith and Jones'' record, despite their lack of money, of  4-12-1 is plainly better.Hull and Southampton have had serious money behind them to bankroll their recent success, and Swansea''s success is also very recent. Over 17 years their record would almost certainly also be worse than ours, and I suspect the same for Palace.

I see - so you believe that us going down Lge 1 and then last year from Prem to Champ was down to "terrible management" however our back to back promotions were just "good fortune"?

I must remember to follow your words of wisdom more often in the future. ; )

So the three seasons following our 2005 relegation from the premiership when we finished lower in the Championship each season before making the drop to League 1 in 2009 were ones of solid stability were they?

Many of us would consider them seasons of spiralling decay with their inevitable consequence.
