    Here we go again. No new signings, more speculation about Neil Warnock's future, a cap of £25K on players wages. No wonder no big names want to come to our club.
    Unfortunately even at this early stage, I can see an early return to the Premiership. What do the rest of you think? I'm not a fair weather supporter, I've supported the Rangers since 1946.

    I know nobody is happy with the situation at the moment, but this has such a sense of De Ja Vu about it from this time last year. Everyone moaning about the lack of any signings of substance, not spending the money required, no ambition, relegation fodder. Yet we won the league.

    Everyone hates the goons, as do I, but then so many say that they are only in it for the money, that they are pocketing the Sky TV revenue, they wont back the team and that we're going to be relegated. But if we are relegated that contradicts the idea that they are in it for the money, does it not?

    If we stay in the premier league then they will become rich, if we are relegated then they will lose money until they sell. They know this and no matter what a pair of ****ers they are, one thing they aren't is stupid.

    Yes I think there's a very good chance that we could go down again this season, simply because the premier league is becoming tougher as more money is finding it's way in to more of the clubs. Last year was the tightest season in the Premiership's history, so it's certainly not going to be easy for us. It's clear that Warnock is going to have to be a miracle worker to pull off a good season, as it seems we're back to Flavs experiment of putting a team together with little money and loans loans loans.

    But I wish people would wait till things do truly go tits up before moaning and speculating, just like last year. Because the truth is, apart from the outrageous price hike, absolutely nothing is different than it was last season, nothing. Oh apart from we're now in the premier league. Bhatia stepping down was a PR stunt gone wrong, but Mittal still owns the same amount of shares and as Bhatias resignation statement said, they will appoint someone to represent their interests.

    So why not lets just wait and see what happens, instead of making ourselves miserable without any reason to be?

    I'm trying to be upbeat, but then I think of Emperor Flabio in charge and I sink into a black mood again... He doesn't just shoot himself in the foot - he shoots everyone else in the foot first

    What was different TLR was that Flavio had been sent off with a flea in his ear after a disastrous spell of meddling, the Mittals were calling the management shots and had a good working relationship with their appointee NW, we had a manager who was up for it and a team with good spirit (no grudges about bonuses not paid) and players who would fight for each other

    If you can tell me another Premiership team that's in a worst state than we are at the moment, I'd (genuinely) like to hear which. However, I do agree it's still relatively early days and so I keep some hope alive...

    You get 48mil over 4 seasons if relegated atm (16 mil, 16 mil, then 8 mil, 8 mil) Doesn't compare to the 40 mil minimum you get for staying in the league every season.

    I think their are big problems going on behind the scenes with that little rat briatore the instergator,their is no smoke without fire especially with this business today regarding NW not leaving the club this whole thing stinks if you ask me.
    No player wants to come to us with briatore pulling the strings look what happened the last time he was in charge it doesnt bode well at all im afraid.

    "whats Happening?"

    Thats what we've been wondering about you as well!

    Warnock leaving/staying (although Norwich agree Bary Fry is a dick as well), no players signed, ridiculous season ticket prices.

    Your club is being taken away from you by incompetent management. That angers me as a football fan, and as a Norwich fan I know about incompetent management *cough*league one*cough*
