A lot more will go to the wall I am sure when Delia all but drags us in to Division 4 before entering administration.

Just think this time next year we could be sitting a league lower with a -10 points tally and a half empty ground every week.

And you know this how ????

We just could be going up, you dont know, I dont know, thats football. Noone knows.But you want us to take the -10 points now do you ?

making it even harder to get up ? Without trying ? Just to get rid of DS ? Now this sounds just like you, a defeatist

Sorry i dont go with that theory. I want us to TRY and get out, under our own steam, weather it be with or without DS, and NOT taking the -10 point. And NOT closing firms cuz we didnt pay them.

 



Norwich City for LIFE !!!!

Yes please... if it means the back of the cook and a new majority investor.

Cullum or somebody else picking the shares up for a few quid and investing a few million quid in to the playing budget with the biggest attendances in the league.... I am sure we would have no chance of getting 10 points more than we are likely to get under the current set up?

Mr Lambert would give us more than an additional 10 points as opposed to buying a fat waster like Aln Lee for starters.

Of course we don't need to go down the admin route, Delia just needs to offer her shares to potential buyers for a nominal value (ie: 1p per share).... I( am sure then we would have a buyer with significant money to spend on building a squad capable of achieving promotion.

Of course Delia will not listen to sense until she has dragged us even futher down and taken us a step closer to administration.

She is the one who is holding out for something she is not going to get.  I believe they call it running a business irresponsibly???

Like what's happened at Southampton you mean (a club as similar to ours as it's possible to get) oh no hold on a minute they're struggling to find a new majority investor (and those circling are the same old faces who've failed the club in the past), have let their most influential players go this week, have no coaches, are likely to face further sanction from the league for not paying their wages and could be liquidated by the weekend, yep administration is the way forward. Christ on a bike I wan't the Stowmarket two to go as much as the next man, but seriously anyone thinking administation will somehow be our turning point clearly has lost any grip on (football) reality.

But that's the point - there is absolutely no guarantee that someone will come in if the club entered administration. I'm sure most Southampton fans would think that SOMEBODY would come in for them, yet several weeks after administration they are perilously close to going under.

You talk of potential investors, but you forget they have to take on the debt, whether it can be renegotiated in the current climate, or not.

Are you saying that you're willing to gamble the club's existence in exchange for getting rid of Delia? Maybe it is possible that Cullum will come in, but that is by no means a certainty, especially given the fact he's been a bit of a joker so far.

Anyway as it stands, I would expect us to hit administration by this time next year unless we secure some additional investment anyway!

Well if you want a couple of examples of clubs going bust and maybe resurfacing at the bottom of the pyramid then how about Aldershot and Maidstone. Have you been asleep for 2 years...it's called the credit crunch it means rich types are reluctant to chuck all their hard earned money on failing League 1 clubs that have already proved their inability to break even...it is only a matter of time for a club to go bust, and it will be a mid size club with big debts...Southampton are fast running out of options

I agree with your last comment about us hitting administration within the next year unless significant investment is found.  How far away from that happening do you think we are and do you really believe that things will get any better for NCFC under Smith & Jones during the next year?  I believe that NCFC will be an even more unattractive prospect for potential investors a year from now as by that time we will be seen as a mid-table Div 3 club at best and a few thousand more season ticket holders will also of had enough by then.

Delia & Wynn Jones and Foulger could choose to cut their losses now by selling their shares for as little as possible.  Instead they have chosen to dig their heels in and yet again act in their own best interests instead of the best interests of NCFC and the City of Norwich.

How has Cullum been a "bit of a joker so far"?  Is this because he was not silly enough to pay the ridiculous price of £30 per share and realised before most of the fans did that Delia has no wish to sell?

He has hinted that he would return if the threat was there of City going in to administration with his "I would not let City go under" comments.  All he can do in the meantime is sit and wait like the rest of us, until Delia has sent the club in to administration or offered her shares up for sale at a nominal value.

Of course he can say little else until either of these two things occur due to the confidentiality clause that the club got him to sign last summer.

Ahh the mighty Aldershot and the mighty Maidstone hey?

Haven't both been non-league clubs more seasons than not?  Hardly fallen very far have they? Embarrassed [:$]

Now name all the clubs that have gone in to administration and try to name a club that has disappeared alltogether.

Because offering a fair price to all shareholders is not an option?

That all sounds very straightforward, but why did he put the gagging order on the club if this is all there was to it? There's far more to this than meets the eye, but as it stands, Cullum comes out smelling of roses.

Re: his "comments" - actions speak louder than words. Just because he's not Delia you seem to be willing to take his word for it?

Re: Southampton on the brink!
Smudger, I asked this on another thread and I'm not sure if you answered it so here it is again...

If you had won that print-buying contract from the Club that you bid for...and if they owed you, say, £10,000-£20,000 each month for programmes, flyers, letterheads and the like...would you be prepared to lose that money just to see the back of Delia/MWJ?

Would you pay your suppliers, or go bankrupt yourself?


Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Now name all the clubs that have gone in to administration and try to name a club that has disappeared alltogether.

Perception I suppose Maidstone where a massive one divison Below where we are now when they went bust, after 17 years they've clawed themselves back to the 7th tier of English football.

Clearly administration has worked for clubs in the past, although how many have gone on to be successful since the 10 pt deduction was introduced, not many Benny. These as you continue to ignore are different times, 2 years ago I would have agreed with you.

As for clubs that have disapeared altogether, fans of Gretna and Scarborough FC may be struggling to find much football to watch next season.

Yes we have no reason to doubt Mr Cullum do we?

Delia on the other hand has been caught out for telling prkie pies more than once.

Never mind, "lots of lovely investment" we are still waiting!

Would I be prepared to accept such a contact when I knew the set up of my company was not geared to giving them the products at a very good price in the first place?

I would no doubt cling on to things as long as possible (just as Delia is doing) and go in to administration... I believe they call it running a business irresponsibly???

Cullum or somebody else picking the shares up for a few quid and investing a few million quid in to the playing budget with the biggest attendances in the league.... I am sure we would have no chance of getting 10 points more than we are likely to get under the current set up?

Like what's happened at Southampton you mean (a club as similar to ours as it's possible to get) oh no hold on a minute they're struggling to find a new majority investor (and those circling are the same old faces who've failed the club in the past), have let their most influential players go this week, have no coaches, are likely to face further sanction from the league for not paying their wages and could be liquidated by the weekend, yep administration is the way forward. Christ on a bike I wan't the Stowmarket two to go as much as the next man, but seriously anyone thinking administation will somehow be our turning point clearly has lost any grip on (football) reality.

Not that you have lost a grip on football reality at all?

Remind me how many out of all of the clubs who have ever entered administration have disappeared totally??? Embarrassed [:$]

Well if you want a couple of examples of clubs going bust and maybe resurfacing at the bottom of the pyramid then how about Aldershot and Maidstone. Have you been asleep for 2 years...it's called the credit crunch it means rich types are reluctant to chuck all their hard earned money on failing League 1 clubs that have already proved their inability to break even...it is only a matter of time for a club to go bust, and it will be a mid size club with big debts...Southampton are fast running out of options

Ahh the mighty Aldershot and the mighty Maidstone hey?

Haven't both been non-league clubs more seasons than not?  Hardly fallen very far have they? Embarrassed [:$]

Now name all the clubs that have gone in to administration and try to name a club that has disappeared alltogether.

Perception I suppose Maidstone where a massive one divison Below where we are now when they went bust, after 17 years they've clawed themselves back to the 7th tier of English football.

Clearly administration has worked for clubs in the past, although how many have gone on to be successful since the 10 pt deduction was introduced, not many Benny. These as you continue to ignore are different times, 2 years ago I would have agreed with you.

As for clubs that have disapeared altogether, fans of Gretna and Scarborough FC may be struggling to find much football to watch next season.

The reformed Scarborough Atheletic FC are still about.

Leeds have done ok with the point deduction... let us not forget that we heard from the Lapps of this world that things could be worse we could be Leeds for the last two years.

Well I would rather be sitting in Leeds Utd's shoes coming in to this season than ours, wouldn't you?

I guess one of our transfer targets in Warren Feeney felt the same?
