    Another response to the article 'Smiffy' posted.

    From a moral standpoint I think this scheme is outrageous. The board are treating the fans as a bank. The board won’t sell a single share that would dilute their power, stating all different reasons including “not wanting the camels coming to Carrow Road”, but will happily take money from any source for this bond. They want your money now, but they don’t want you to have any ownership of the club.
    If Delia offered up her shares I’d happily take a few off her hands and I would be willing to match the price with a similar contribution to the club. Effectively becoming an investing owner.

    What I won’t do is become their personal credit line.

    Great post KIO, and the author said it was one of the best responses to one of his pieces <ok>
    Alex B makes equally valid points as you, March 12th 6.59, right near the end.

    From a piece by Superman on MFW.

    And ain't that the truth!!

    Not the best article he's ever done, imho.

    I loved that they thrashed Wolves though!

    Villa will go up with Wolves. They have both p*ssed all over "FFP" but they never seems to matter. Wolves have p*ssed the most. So I love when they lose.

    A guy I know at Sportspark is a Wolves fan and he's been looking forward to swopping places with WBA.

    Edit - Wolves have just taken the lead but1p5wich have just gone 2-9 down

    Getting put played by another awful team who can't buy a point.

    Progress.

    We better fluke a winner or Maddison better save us as always. Otherwise, we could be back in a relegation fight.

    The Leeds owner has written to the FA and EFL complaining about Wolves flaunting the rules.

    So Wolves winning at a canter and KooPeeAargh now 3-0 up.

    ManUre on their way out of the CL.

    So Aberdeen sneak past Kilmarnock to make the Scottish Cup semis after a penalty shoot out, with the Dons keeper saving two.
    Kenny Mclean scored a penalty in normal time and apparently, he hasn't failed to convert a penalty all season - are you watching Basil??

    Nothing will come of that however if it were us and we had rich owners (fat chance), I guarantee they would throw the book at us docking points and a relegation <doh>

    To be honest, I strongly agree with most of his picks for a call up. I'd call up Madders, Sessegnon, Pope, Tarkowski and Lascelles. Those 5 have just been playing too well, for too long. To make a statement that it's form and merit over reputation, and doesn't matter what league you are in, or if you are at an "unfashionable team".
