Crazy scenes after the game

[Gaffer]

No idea if the allegations are true but the person making them is @harto76 - he claims to have witnessed the incident.

His last tweet is Nov 11. Maybe he just posted for a wind-up. It's really worth nothing.

Mcnally does often go drinking up PoW after a game yes. I believe there's a few on here that were bought a drink by him in The Nelson for example.

And yes, definitely a pinch of salt required but I see no reason why this person would make it up.

Sometimes people will see what they want to see, and perhaps spin it to suit an agenda.

We have one side of a story.

(Yeah, McNally has bought me a pint in the Nelson, after a game.)

 

[splutcho]

Perhaps you're both right. I doubt we'll get the other side of the story anytime soon though, doubt they'll want to bring attention to it.

I have a lot of respect for David McNally, the few times I have met him, and discussed things, he has answered my every question honestly and openly.

I think the people looking to have his head on a stick, as a scapegoat, need to calm down a bit.

He doesn't make unilateral decisions at the club, with respect to managerial appointments.

 

[splutcho]

Yeah I like McNally

Agree.

DM is not the problem, but he may be able to deliver the solution.

However now having read the thread on the other forum it does look as though he might have shown a lack of judgment in putting himself in that situation.

So he should hide in his house, because we lost a game of football?

 

[Salopian]

The anger is understandable - not just the disappointment at losing, but also seeing individual players, and the team, under-performing. Perhaps abuse and threats arise on the spur of the moment, and supporters go too far, but they have a right to show their disappointment and anger. The Board may feel that they have responded already in the appointment of Phelan, who's name has been on the lips and in the postings of many people this year.

If the arrival of Phelan does not lead to change in a few weeks, the protests could grow. Could something else be done to put pressure on the Board - boycott of pies, drinks, programmes or,as a last resort, boycotting games?                                                                          

 

[morty]

Maybe we should put McNally in some stocks, outside the Jarrold, and we can throw rotten fruit at him?

 

[Trevmuttley]

It's all gone crazy, it shows the passion the fans have for the club. It hurts like hell that the team down the A140 are 2nd and the board knows this, they (the board that is)must do something before its to late action speaks louder than words,this club is going backwards in more ways than one!

But it is too simplistic to simply say because we lost a game of football. Emotions were clearly running high yesterday after the game, hence this thread. Emotions that were not going to get any less with the addition of copious amounts of alcohol.

He seems to like to think of himself as a man on the people, nothing wrong with that. But he is also a public figure certainly in Norwich. So he will attract attention. A bit of judgment might have made him think he would have got the wrong type of attention last night. He will probably think similarly now.

To be clear I am not calling for his head. Just regretting that we have this piled on top of our other problems.

Sorry, but some drunken yob has had a go at him, saying basically its his own fault for being there, doesn't sit well with me.

Now you know that's what I mean. No it's not his fault that some drunk has a go at him.

But he is a public figure and higher standards apply. So being in a situation like will reflect badly even when your the innocent party. Better to judge the situation and avoid in the first place.

He's hardly glitterati material though, is he? He is out after most games. Why shouldn't he be able to go out without drunken yobs giving him grief?

Now that is a question to ask drunken yobs. Problem is drunken yobs do give grief.

And given how much football means to Norwich he is "Norwich glitterati"

I am totally with you on defending his fundamental right of freedom to do whatever he wants. I just think there are times when it is wiser not to exercise that right.

 

[Beauseant]

Going into Norwich after what happened might seem foolish but let's add some facts to the mix. Firstly, it was one of his sons' stag do so he could hardly pull out.Secondly, he voted against Adams so probably feels pretty raw that he's copping most of the flak for an appointment on which he was outvoted. Doesn't make his involvement right, but until ALL the facts are known it's probably best not to leap to judgement.

Did he really vote against Adam's appointment? I didnt know that.

Adam's appointment has Smith and Jones all over it in my opinion. I could see McNally walking away from the club over this. Why take grief over their balls up.

 

[SussexYellow]

OK there are two new facts there.

It was his son's stag do - that makes a significant difference. In which case he had to be there whether or not he thought being in Rocco's was wise on a night where emotions were high.

Secondly he voted against Adams! Now I have always had a hunch that this might be his view but this is the first time I have seen it stated. Struggling a bit more to buy this because I doubt there would have been a vote, some reluctant yes's possibly but I would have expected that whatever the process was it ended up in a unanimous decision - even if it was a reluctant one.
