If your perception is to doubt one but not the other, then I suggest there's probably more to your opinion than what is best for the club. A personal distate for the majority shareholders perhaps? A personal distatse for them failing Norwich City fans and the City of Norwich for far too many years than they should of been allowed to get away with perhaps??? How have they failed the City of Norwich? I am born and bred Norwich and although I consider that they have made mistakes that have lead to recent failure at Norwich City FC I fail to see how this has failed the City that I live in. NCFC is part of the City of Norwich and not visa versa. Then you clearly have no pride....... If you're happy that a cornerstone of our heritage has been usurped and used by Smith you are certainly no loyalist to your City or County. I'd say you are a quisling.....or at the very best a toadier........      Report

As to this company (called Gillico) he is convinced is going to buy Southampton, it is based at Cleckheaton in Yorkshire, which is not in itself a bad sign, but it certainly seems, er, little-known, and was founded on April's Fool's Day this year... If I was Smudger I wouldn't bet too much money on Gillico ending up owning Southampton.    Report

That Pinnacle group are very keen for the 10 point deduction to be dropped, surely, they are getting a cheap club, so 10 points they should make up pretty quickly. I don't know how much longer I can continue the delusional long term optimism.    Report
