Craig Brown 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Message to OLD SHUCK - Glad you agree with my points. Sorrymate I have to disagree with you. The club belongs to the fans – NOT DELIA& MICHAEL. I would argue that if you don’t protest then that will achievenothing – because we will have to put up with Delia & Michael & Foulger& etc for longer. Just sitting on this message board and talking about it -will not change anything – we need to actually go and protest outside the groundand make ourselves loud and clear about how we feel about the way this club is beingrun and protesting is a great way of showing that we not are not happy with howthe board are doing things and by protesting we can show them we want differentdirectors & owners. People are laughing at Norwich – you are blind. When we werein the premier league – people had respect for us. We had TV coverage fromMatch of the Day and Sky. But now nobody respects us – nobody wants to talkabout Norwich City now. When Norwich are in the Championship nobody cares aboutthem. Everybody looks at them and thinks they are the team that took a mightyfall – they are so poor and we won’t see them in the top flight again.I am not laughing at Blackpool – because it is a great shamethat a club like that fell from the premier league and could now be headinginto League One. Its horrible for their fans to have to go through that traumaand I wouldn’t wish it on any football fans. Any football fan that wants to seea club fall like Blackpool is just plain rude and nasty. Believe me there arepeople that hate Norwich – and every time this club fails – they are laughingat us.Anyway going back to your other point – I think Neil Adamsshould get Elliott Bennett back at this club right away. The club cannot affordto waste four weeks. In four weeks this club could be in midtable – so Adamsshould have acted right this minute and asked him to come back to Norwich. Butit seems Adams has made Elliott Bennett unhappy so that he doesn’t want toreturn. Well done Neil you have now upset Bassong and E Bennett. That is a signthat he cannot handle and deal with players properly. Good managers know how torelate to players. Maybe it is Neil’s personality – maybe he is too harsh withsome people. He has to be careful of being overly harsh. Also in reply to the guy who said I want Robert Chase back. RobertChase was a funny one. Chase and Deehanwere to blame for the sale of Mark Robins to Leicester. John Deehan was more toblame for Robins going to Leicester - because he made Mark Robins unhappy bynot selecting him to play. Robert Chase though has to take responsibility fornot offering Mike Walker a good contract – the question is was a contract evenoffered to Mike Walker? This obviously led to the departure of Mike Walker. Robert Chase and John Deehan were to blame for playersleaving such as Chris Sutton & Ruel Fox & Efan Ekoku & Robins.These players scored 51 goals between them and yet we didn’t replace them. Iwould say Robert Chase did some good – was not Chase who got Mike Walker in asmanager which led to our success in the premier league and our UEFA Cup run.Didn’t Robert Chase bring in Martin O Neil. Clearly the guy was much better forus than Delia & Michael & Foulger. Barry Lockwood is to blame forinviting Delia & Michael onto the board of directors. The pair of themshould never received an invitation – ever since they joined the club has beenin decline. Clearly when Robert Chase left – the club failed to make atransition of bringing in competent directors. Robert Chase had sold his shares to Geoffrey Watling. Clearly this didnt work and failed miserably - what good did selling the shares to Geoffrey Watling do - it did no good at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,779 Posted November 27, 2014 [quote user="Craig Brown"]Can we start meeting outside the Geoffrey Watling City Stand to protest and demonstrate to get rid of Delia and Michael - I am sure there are a few other numpties on the board who have been on the board with them for too long.They only way to force them out of this club is to start having demonstrations - protests before home games. If we want change at this club - we must fight for change and let our voices be heard loudly and clearly. I am not happy to just continue to allow those clowns to send this club down like they have done for years.[/quote]Surely a big whiff of Bin about this post.

Felixfan 53 Posted November 27, 2014 When will posters learn that you can protest as much as you like but this will not remove the owners until they chose to go.They employed top head hunters to find new investment but drew a blank.McNally said at the AGM that our club is run as a mutual and one wonders if this would be the case with any other owners.We are very lucky with our benevolent owners and the envy of many in the football world. Remember they do not make football decisions and are primarily fans who appoint others to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
