HazzaJet 240 Posted January 3, 2015 I had full belief that Adams could do it back in August. However, that spell that saw us with 1 win in 10 games has caused me to lose faith in him and personally I''d assess him after our next 5 games:A BournemouthH CardiffH BrentfordA BirminghamH BlackpoolI would let him have a maximum of 2 defeats and a minimum of 2 wins - We should beat Blackpool and I''m expecting defeat to Bournemouth.If he goes I don''t know who to bring in though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoareyou? 0 Posted January 3, 2015 The only thing that got the club out of its financial mess it was in was success on the football pitch. And in particular the appointment of a manager with a will to succeed and a background of success elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 6,986 Posted January 3, 2015 The loyal shareholders of our great club, including the majority shareholders, are just loyal supporters who have found another way to put their own hard earned into the club. To suggest that thy hold the club back by drawing money out is the thin edge of the wedge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dibs 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Ricardo, I read your post match reports with interest but now question you if you are for real.Bigger investors want a return. You and me are small shareholders have an interest in the club (NCFC) and that all.If you invest a lot of money one day you will want a return that''s the difference between investors and us.I love Norwich but hate the route we are now going.

Horse Renoir 1 Posted January 3, 2015 Milking or hoaring the club? ....feckin hell! We all have our complaints with the board, they''re complacent, have an awful approach to appointing managers and need to stay out of footballing decision, but to imply they''re only here to extract money and keep us small so they don''t have to spend is absurd!Smith/Jones are fantastic owners, but they need to stay owners/supporters and nothing more. Our failings are linked to a currently weak CEO with no knowledge of the managerial market and a manager that''s been hung out to dry....people blaming Delia with no substantial proof that THE WITCH HAS SUDDENLY RETAKEN CONTROL is laughably stupid. We''d be doing well with a good manager, that''s our very well paid CEO''s job to find, he still runs us much more than our owners do. Our current failings are nothing to do with Delia FFS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no annual dividend from owning ordinary shares and since they are not quoted on the Stock Exchange, there is no liquid market in which to sell.The best you can hope for as a majority shareholder is a direct say in running the club and that is largely why they buy into the club.I doubt that any large shareholder of NCFC ever got out with much of a profit.

JF 694 Posted January 3, 2015 Once Delia has left the club I wonder how people will look back over her time here. Chase got ''chased out'' but looking back now his years were far more successful than that of Smith and Jones. The majority of their reign has been obscurity and small minded thinking that led us to the lowest point for 50 years and nearly having to sell the ground! I for one look forward to the day we have new owners, it may be better or worse but for sure it''s stale as hell with the current ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted January 3, 2015 [quote user="Bor Bor Bor"][quote user="Yellow Messiah"]He ignored Gary Hooper for most of the season, in favour of a player who is much inferior to Callum Wilson, who he brilliantly decided not to sign.[/quote]Hooper got his chance today. He appears to have justified Adams''s decision to ignore him.[/quote]Gary Hooper has 4 goals and 5 assists from his last 7 games. However, Gary Hooper looks lost when up front on his own, but then we already knew that from last season. If Adams wanted to play a lone striker, he should have picked Grabban who looks the part in that role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
