You also said Alex Neil should be sacked and we would be relegated before the window opens. You've got to get something right eventually mate :emoticon-0105-wink:

Ahem, show me exactly where I said that AN SHOULD be sacked and also where I said we would be relegated before Christmas ! I know I said that he was 'out of his depth' or something along those lines and if, as I thought at the time, we wouldn't win a match over Christmas that maybe he should be relieved of his duties. However I don't think I called for his immediate sacking, indeed I believe I posted that I was probably wrong and AN DID know what he was doing.

Mind you, after those substitutions last night I may have been right all along :emoticon-0105-wink:
 
Here we go.

We're gonna do things the Norwich way. Panic buying a load of **** at midnight on the last day.

I'm not blaming anyone. Maybe players just don't wanna come.

I have given you a like for this post General, but only because you are obviously on some strange medication that normal mortals should never touch. Keep up the (good) work.

As I understand it, although our offer to Naismith was top of our scale he would still have taken a small drop in wages to come here but was tempted by the chance to get more games and the income he could generate on housing costs etc. He spent 3 days here last week and although Mrs N was very impressed with things Mr N, who has spent his working career in Glasgow and Liverpool, was not so keen. Other Clubs have become interested and that is where matters lie. I am also told that 2 other players have reached the stage of fees being agreed with their Clubs and terms agreed with their agents but are seriously dragging their heels on coming here. As brutal as this may seem we have to accept that to the majority of people in the game, including players, we are really a Championship Club situated in the arse-end of beyond spending a couple of years in the Premiership before our inevitable return to where we belong. I don't share that view nor do most on here but it is the problem NCFC faces

Still no news on who those 2 other players are? Or positions? Or the clubs?

Not even remotely surprising. We need to stay up to stand a chance of attracting quality.

I think we need to focus on buying the best of the Championship tbh. I know that doesn't sound good to many, but it at least alleviates a large part of the problem Melchy highlights.

You are undoubtedly right 1950 but it's the money that talks at the end of the day nothing else and we cannot compete with the other EPL clubs currently. Boremouth have bags of cash, are a tinpot club with a ****ty little stadium and situated in OAP land, but they can attract players over us simply because of their Russian cash. <ok>
 
Rather than post replies to the posts above, I'll summarise. All excellent posts and I can see what 1950 says is that players are not really willing to come here, roll their sleeves up and join the fight to avoid relegation - fine, because that's not the type of player we want!!!! I can see that any further deals will be done on Feb 1st (if at all) and I can sort of see where KIO is coming from when he says about AN's substitutions last night - especially Redmond. I did however love this comment he made - Boremouth have bags of cash, are a tinpot club with a ****ty little stadium and situated in OAP land, but they can attract players over us simply because of their Russian cash.

I find it funny that this is exactly the sort of rubbish that idiots who support other clubs spout about Norwich.

But there is a major difference bewteen us and Bournemouth and that is that they really are a TINPOT club. I suppose the main reason I dislike them so is not because of their rich owners but because of their connections with 'Arry. <ok>
