Why can't my team be run like Norwich?

    supers, ok not sacked but pushed, thanks for the correction <ok>

    I think it is pretty important to your survival. That's why I would call it more desperation than ambition. Ambition would have been to sign someone in the summer, not when the club is in freefall.

    redruth, being a big club and winning trophies is not the be all and end all, it's the manner of it too and Leeds have always been a nasty club on the terraces, in the dugout and on the pitch.

    What are you on about, with the greatest respect to Swansea, Notwithstanding that we have a bigger support, Norwich are a bigger club than them history tells us so. It's hypothetical, but Danny Graham would be no 'bigger fish' than Holty, Wes and the rest of them <doh>

    absolute nonsense.

    what qpr are doing is desperation. we sit 12th in the league! what we are doing is trying to assure survival and steadily improve our strike force. are you seriously suggesting that if ipswich for example bid for two strikers at £2m each today, that that would be a desperate measure rather than showing ambition?

    you're on the wind up and that's it. totally jealous of our position. there isn't an ipswich fan out there who wouldn't want to swap league positions with us right now and there isn't one who doesn't wish it was them bidding £10m for two very good strikers.

    The sad thing is, and Yorkie will jump all over this, is that in the eighties under Chase I said why can't we be more like Forest. You could argue that Chase's stated objective of keeping the club in the then First Division with the occasional good cup run was visionary and but at the time I was envious of Forest's achievements given the fact that we were similar sized clubs in terms of crowd numbers and revenue.

    Sorry I've been away.

    Who have we bid for? Graham and who else? Hooper?

    Am I alone in believing Yorkie is living in a parallel universe?

    How many letters were you trying to get organised on your board earlier in the season when you wanted PJ and Clegg out? <confused>

    You change your mind more times than the bloody weather changes Yorkie

    weren't the saints owners threatening to dismiss nigel adkins and replace him with christian gross a couple of weeks ago?

    there are good foreign owners and there are bad ones - equally you can say the same about british owners - but at least we know where we stand with our backers. every single fan understands why the club do what they do and appreciate the jobs they have been doing over the past few years. it wasn't always like that - delia and co made some almighty bloopers, but they've always had their hearts in the right place and i don't think anyone can argue with that, they love our club as much as each and every one of us fans. back to foreign owners, if anything, the man city owners are proving to one of the better ones. not necessarily for footballing reasons but because they are investing £1bn into the local area. that wouldn't have happened without them. however, the forest and in particular blackburn owners are not so clever in my opinion.

    I think when he is asleep he dreams of being a Norwich supporter and then when he wakes up he struggles to get a grip with reality and ends up mixing it all up. Then he posts it on the Norwich forum, because he is still not sure who he supports.

    The sheer delight of supporting a developing Norwich City switches to the utter despair and heartache of waking up to realise that he is in fact an Ipswich supporter.

    If true then it's rediculous and the sign of another bunch of directors wanting everything today

    always had a soft spot for saints but that is a disgraceful decision.

    i'm sorry to say it but i hope it backfires massively and they go straight back down with pochettino in charge (assuming its him).

    Indeed not - and I also like Conor McNamara, although his views are often 'diluted' because he commentates for the BBC. My fave radio commentator, though <ok>
