Simply tragic the demise of our once great club, such fantastic support and dedication that can't be argued.
They should step down now before it all gets very ugly.

I have supported the club for over 50 years. My son and I have season tickets and travel over 200 miles to every home game. This is the worst state the club has ever been in, in my recollection. It is a disgrace and someone is to blame.

i think the board should go but also having mr gunn as manager big mistake he might be a so called norwich legend but im afraid it does not make him a manager he has no experiance the only team he has ever managed has been a school boy under 11 team so what does that tell you like i say putting him in charge of a team trying to avoid relegation huge mistake we should have gone for experiance only one way we going and thats down with what goes on at our club we are a joke

Sadly, I feel the time has come for the club to really instigate change. We need greater leadership from the top down - leadership that is sadly lacking from the current regime.
I can appreciate that this board does not have among them an exceptionally wealthy person to bankroll the club. But there must be another dozen teams in this (Championship) division that are equally like us - perhaps all without exception, without our fabulous support as well.
I believe strongly we have been reckless as to our financial situation. A wage bill of £8.5mil - more than double our gate receipts - coupled with the second highest agent fees in the league shows we have given little thought as to our current financial situation.
We need to start again, getting a new board, new manager and a complete overhaul of our playing and coaching staff. Any less will be a further utter disaster for Norwich City as we look towards relegation.

When the manager loses the dressing room its time for a change, and the same applies to the board when they lose the confidence of the fanbase.
There's no future for you here, please go.

After nearly 40 years of supporting City this must reank as one of the worst spells we have gone through. the writing has been on the wall from the moment the board refused to support the team after promotion.

go, and go now, your collective miss-management has brought us to the brink of relegation to the third tier of English football. This is likely to take years to recover from, The last few seasons have demonstrated that you are not capable of effectively running NCFC, despite massive backing from 24000 loyal supporters

A sad time for our great club.
Time for the board to go, and let the club rise back to where we belong.

Lets hear it then... next City home game...
SACK THE BOARD
SMITH OUT!!!
This has been coming slowly but surely for the last 4 years and we only have ourselves to blame for not ousting this board of directors months/years ago!!!

Asset stripping the squad to pay for restaurants and land was always going to end in tears.
Delia Smith, Michael Wynn Jones, Roger Mumby, Bob Foulger and Neil Doncaster:
You have set the Club back 70 years and more, this will be your fitting and unavoidable legacy in the history of our once fine football club.
The board who put prudence above ambition and so achieved relegation from the Premiership to the third division in four very miserable years.

As a life long supporter & current season ticket holder, I have to say the boards position in the view of myself and majority of the fans have become untenable. You have made far too many mistakes and have showed such a lack of ambition for a club of this size & support base. This football club & the fans deserve much more. We live in the real world & understand things may get worse under new ownership, but a change of ownership will give us fans, a optimism instead of the constant pessimism we currently feel under this boards tenure. Please do the honourable thing and find a way to release this football club to some one or consortium, so we can start to rebuild what you have gradually over the years let fall apart. It pains me to say, but the majority share holder and board have failed.

Time for you all to go, this seasons team of loanees has turned us into a laughing stock and no doubt we will be hearing next season that we cannot afford to compete with the top teams in Division 3 .

The current regime whilst well intended have been found to be amateurish and lacking in the qualities needed to run a professional football club. Please walk away before you damage the club irreparably.

I agree with the message on wrath of the barclay. Years of small minded thinking has ruined this club.

For a club with the size of support that Norwich City enjoys, to have only managed two top six finishes in thirteen seasons of Championship football is quite some under achievement.
After years of under investment in the playing squad we are now on the brink of third tier football for the first time in fifty years.
At least in League One we will not need a £150,000 a year Chief Executive, start looking for a new job now Mr. Doncaster.

45 years a supporter. Now have the most inadequate team i can recall. No spirit, fight, heart.
The 11 who turn out play as though they have never seen one another before. No shape, tatics, nothing.
Wheres the money gone???
Donaster and Preston get successfully by on half the crowds that we do.
Useless management, no direction and too many loan players

Simply it has to be done. However we need real assurances that there will be a group who are both willing and able to take over the reins from the current investment personnel on the board. Munby and Doncaster are small shareholders in comparison and can simply be sacked. Both are unfit for purpose, having presided over a spectacular decline since promotion and the loss of all the benefits of promotion.
Whether the current man charged with looking for investment finds any or not, the current board need to be shaken up and if they are not out soon, then new blood needs to be brought in and put in charge of any money we have left. Doncaster must go immediately.
Only then the whole club must be gone over with a fine tooth comb and a new mantra adopted.
Football comes first.
