"The world is our Lobster" bring him on....

Would these be the contacts that brought in Gasmi, Pulis, Forecast, Robertson, Smith and Peckhart by any chance ?? If so, I'll take my chances on somebody new ! ps. I realise that he would not have made these signings on his own but he was responsible for the development of young players at the time !

The fact is that some attendees of football matches are fans (short for fanatics!) and others are more like customers (they come along when it suits them and if they consider the 'product' to be right) ! Whatever the definition, I think that it crass to blame someone for choosing not to turn up and no right thinking business person (in any walk of life) would survive with that attitude ! All IMHO of course.

The product is lousy ! Some customers don't buy ! Who do we blame ? Why, the customers of course ! Some of you guys have to get real, we were lucky that 15,000 odd turned up on a regular basis to watch 4 wins out of 21 in a sh1tty league ! The boardroom bickering, the patronising attitude, the sheer incompetence of those running the club was the major cause of failure and anyone who thinks that the paying customer is in any way at fault is basically thick !!

I recently changed my car insurance away from Norwich Union ! I'd love to say it was in protest over the Saints but sadly it was just because of their total incompetence and particularly in relation to their useless call centre in India (not racist, just a fact)! Anyway that's me done my bit !!!

Dear FC, I am sure that most of your posts are valid and objective but I just can't read them anymore without counting how many times you get the word 'THE' wrong ! The above is not even a great example ! Have you got a dodgy keyboard ? Apologies if you are dyslexic (or similar) but the rest of your spelling is more consistent so I can't see why it's just one word ?? No offence intended, really !

I think you'll find that her Maj is very pro Scottish as is her daughter who supports them over England when watching rugby ! Anyway WW was a hero to some of us but clearly not all ! I suggest you get back to assasinating the 'one who cannot be mentioned on this thread' instead !!

Mon Dieu, 'kicker pneumatique' !!!

I think you may well be right about this ! There has been talk about further payments down the line (ie. 5mil if we get back to the Prem) and future gaurantees are probably harder to pin down than immediate funds ! Let's hope that this is the case because I reckon we need ready cash to start us off with a half decent squad in the 3rd div !!!

My son has a 'LE TISSIER 7' signed and worn shirt (Friends Provident version) and it stinks of BO so has obviously not been washed ! (Yes, even God's get smelly armpits) ! I assumed that if it was washed then it would be devalued but maybe I'm wrong ? His mother has tried to wash it several times as she reckons it will disintegrate over time although we think that she just can't live with the thought of anything even remotely unhygenic !!

I think that you are about right but it's quite poor considering that I just read that Norwich have already sold 18k ! I reckon that the number of ST's could improve dramatically if a) the new owners look potentially exciting, b) they price the tickets at a bargain level (average under £300) ?? Would be nice to get a bit of atmosphere cos the place can be a morgue when half full !

As long as St Mary's still exists !

No way Jose`! I heard that the father-in-law of his second cousin's wife (no.4) bought a frigate from Portsmuff so he must be a Skate !!! Aaargh....

Rupert has a fundamental misunderstanding of the importance of relationships ! The football club is an institution within the city and as such the supporters, the media and indeed, the main sponsor are all absolutely vital to the cause ! To have sour relations with all 3 groups is unforgivable and was gauranteed to spell disaster as inevitably it did ! Whatever one's opinion of LM and LC may be, at least they realise that communication between the club, the fans, the Echo and (I imagine) Flybe are supremely important, something which the deluded Mr Lowe clearly does not grasp !

I now have visions of 'ze seagulls folowing ze trawlers' but I think I'll just clutch the 50%+ straw and hope for the best ! Keep taking the pills everyone and enjoy the ride !!!

You worry me FF, as one of the more informed guys on here, you do not seem convinced that we will extricate ourselves from the mess of administration ! The alternative is not something that I have seriously considered, perhaps because I am in denial, but please give me hope not despair !!

Been through all this before but put simply I would say that he does not have the contacts to get the right players for this level ! A complete fresh start is imperative IMHO !

I am a little surprised that Fry has gone quiet because he gave regular updates on the OS, programme, Echo etc, etc.. when he first took over the project ! Anyway, tomorrow starts another week and we shall see ! Been saying this for yonks now but they can't make us endure this pain forever, can they ???

There are 2 issues here which I feel some are a little confused about : a) £100k for a CEO challenged with a major turnaround is relatively 'peanuts', particularly in the football world (even pro rata for a full working week!). b) General incompetence and the ability to alienate customers meant that his performance level was unacceptable and led inevitably to administration ! IMHO (a) is no big deal, (b) was a disaster ! Ps. I am not a 'denyer' (mainly because the word does not exist) nor am I 'in denial' !

They would have been pretty p1ssed off though, eh ? A miss is as good as a mile !!

My brother is a ST holder at Leicester and reckons that qualitywise L1 is not that much different from the CCC ! That said, his team had a decent manager and romped it to be champions so perhaps he was slightly blinkered ! Interesting though that had Leics been docked 10 points they would not have achieved automatic promotion, so 27 wins and 15 draws will probably not be good enough ! Mmmm.. ?

This thread is spinning me round, right round, like a record baby, round round, right round ! Ad infinitum..... Know what I mean, eh ?

Sh1t joke that !

'Discreet' is the word, sorry to be pedantic but it annoys me more than any other wrongly spelt word ! Nothing personal BTW !

Dream on, baby !!!!!
