[Number 9]

New director is a cracker!

 

[Number 9]

I wouldn't be surprised if he already knows Ed, having been civil servant supporting NCFC.

Might be more to this than meets the eye.

 

[Brian Fantana]

It's like they are trying to make the Pinkun collapse in on itself...I almost admire the mischief making element of this!

 

[Brian Fantana]

Does anyone know what he did in the civil service?

I used to see Ed in 1HGR but he hasn't offered me a job on the board...booooooo.

 

[Number 9]

We might have got mixed up here,

Tom was in MOD, perfect, experienced in defence,

Tim, nice but dim must be joining the board as a Swiss banker. Perfect for accessing all that finance!

Nepotism never has a pleasant aroma attached to it.                  

 

[Scott]

Keeping it in the family, norfolk style.

That line is oddly familiar Wiz.....

 

[Beauseant]

How appalling that we're trying to ensure continuity. Why can't we get sold off to a Chinese arms dealer?

 

[ZLF]

unsurprising sensible first steps in succession planning by the ageing majority shareholders - learn the ropes,   prove whether he can do the role and hand over in time.

There are only two options for the shares - either sell or inherit them;   Will sit and watch how he does and hope that a confirmed norwich fan works well for us.

Hands up morty, not my words but from a poster 'over there'......it just sums up perfectly my feelings on this.

I can see how it would be quite easy to take a very negative view on it all, if you weren't a fan of our current owners.

Me, I really couldn't care less. As long as whatever happens in the boardroom supports what happens on the pitch. Like it or not, there aint no hero going to come over the horizon to propel us into a Champions league place. And all things considered, as we spend our 4th year in five in the toughest division in the world, we are actually in not bad shape. Ask Leeds, Coventry, Portsmouth, Blackpool, QPR, Ipswich and Bolton about how its going for them.

 

[KeiranShikari]

if we were sold to a Chinese arms dealer perhaps we'd get better at shooting.

 

[KeiranShikari]

PS - Nothing wrong with nepotism in this case. We'll have to judge the lad on future events and not because of who he's related to. 

 

[Number 9]

The lad is 35 years old.

 

[KeiranShikari]

Not buying that. Looks about 14.

 

[Number 9]

You don't grow a nose like that in 14 years!

"Norwich smells of football"

 

[Dubai Mark]

At least he hasnt been appointed Manager or signed as our new centre back. But seriously, a bit of succession planning, I have no problem with that. 

 

[Canaryboy]

I don't see how he can offer any less than Stephen Fry did to be honest. 

Not a criticism of Fry as such, only that he's hardly known for his business acumen or his extensive knowledge of the football industry.
