| Mr C, you are counting angels on a pin head with this one. There is no point picking through everything DS has said in the past, particlarly when fltered through the media, misquote and misinterpreted just so you can have a pop. |

But if he stopped doing that BF, he'd have nothing left to say ![Smile [:)]](/cs/emoticons/emotion-1.gif) ...
To be fair, Mr. C has made some decent points about off-pitch spending in the past, again though it's down to interpretation as to whether something is neccesary. This kind of debate never changes anything, it'll just rage on until somebody gets bored first. If there's anything I've learnt from here it's that you can't change opinions.

Or the BBC version is just a fuller quote, it is still an interview with Delia. Sorry for jumping down your throat. But looking at the fuller quote, its quite plain that she wasn't saying she would give her shares away.
I have consistently said that I would support a formal bid from Cullum that includes provision for buying a majority shareholding. I have also said I'm not happy with his going public, especially the timing of his EDP quotes. As it happens it doesn't seem to have affected the end result from Glen, who is doing an excellent job in the transfer market, and I'm delighted with the new players in.

I DON'T BELIEVE I'M READING THIS, HOW MANY OF THESE RECENT SIGNINGS DO YOU HONESTLY THINK WE'D HAVE MADE WITHOUT PC GOING PUBLIC?

Of course you can, maybe its hard to change the opinion of the particular person you are debating with, but there are plenty of undecided lurkers about.
Personally Mr Carrow's various posts played their part in changing my opinion of the board from apathy to dislike.

Alot of people have changed their opinions in recent years. I supported the board until the start of the first season back down when the player sales and pathetic replacements made me look more closely at what was going on. Keith Roads "kept the faith" for longer than me but i now have to calm him down when he goes into one of his rants about Delia. Richard Balls, Adam Aiken, John Tilson, "face" from NCISA who posts on here, have all been highly critical of the board in recent months. These people are all more "in the loop" than most supporters who post on here, so maybe some people should consider that these people may have very valid reasons for their criticisms.

The board have undoubtedly made some big errors. Hiring Grant, state of the academy, questionable off field investments, the lack of foresight into how Premiership money would affect the Championship...
But they don't deserve some of the hysteria and BS that you see on here though. The club is financially stable, off field investments make profit for the club, we still own our own ground, we can afford our debt. Compared to many other clubs, we are at least stable. Most posters on here seem to have no clue as to the financial realities of the modern game, so much of the criticism comes from ignorance. Norwich has a good reputation, good facilities, we now have a good manager, who seems to be building a good and competitive squad. There is much to be thankful about as well as optimistic about.
The main failure has been lack of competitiveness since relegation. Much of the complaining will stop if the team plays well this season.

Oh come on Mr Carrow - every poster has valid reasons for believing what they do. It's one thing to put across a point of view and argue your corner but it's a totally different thing to hold up, what you believe to be an elite group of supporters, as some kind of proof. For every Richard Balls there's a Rick Waghorn and for every Adam Aiken there's a Mick Dennis.

Big Fish
It is you who is a "numpty"
No expects her to give away £9 million
We expect her and the other shareholders to dilute her shares to in return for £20 million pounds to spend on players
However as you pointed out he has gone away....thanks to our board
Many of us will not "get over it" and even if Glen who is making some great signings manages to get us promoted we will not be able to stay up without PC's investment
The real danger is if results go against us then she will need to break more than a few eggs to get fans who are not as relaxed as you at losing £20 million pounds from demanding her removal.
This I think is sad for a lady who many of us respected but who in the end failed to grab the best opportunity this club has ever had of getting back into the big time.
People still don't seem to understand that financially the current shareholders would be far better of with the investment than without.
Would you rather own 100% of a club with real financial issues in terms of financing a serious promotion challenge or 49% of a club with a real chance of promotion.
I would also like the board supporters to answer the question of how much did it cost Delia to get control of the club and by this I mean cash not loans etc?
Why therefore does someone investing £20 million of cash not warrant having control of the club?
Last but not least why as a NCFC fans are we worried how the deal?
This club and our fans are too nice no other set of fans in the world would let the owners throw away a £20 million investment in the TEAM (not hotels etc) with the immortal words "get over it"
In the meantime lets keep our fingers crossed and hope we can have a decent season and PC is still around when we need him..............
