FAO Ben, some Q's for Donny if it's not too late?

1. A lot of blame has been put at the feet of Peter Grant and Glenn Roeder for our current predicament, not just by fans but by the CE and Chairman of Norwich. Have lessons been learnt about not allowing the manager an absolute free reign over the club, with a lack of scrutiny and input from the board on footballing matters? The board do not seem to have the required level of knowledge from a footballing perspective to pre-empt mistakes from the 1st team manager. What assurances can you give us the fans, loyal in numbers, that the same mistakes will not happen again?

2. We have had 2 successive campaigns of relegation threatened seasons, if we survive this season, what is the short term strategy to give us the success a club of our size deserve? i.e How do we avoid the repeating of the last 2 seasons, next season?

3. Do you and also the Chairmen feel any responsibility to the level of criticism Delia and Michael are currently receiving, do you believe the reason we have under performed in recent seasons is more down to the lack of funds put in or to do with the mismanagement of the funds allocated to those who run the club (managers/CE/chairman)?

4. The club seem to be in good hands with Gunny, will he have the same/more budget for the 1st team as his 2 predecessors or will the budget be slashed next season? (on the proviso we stay up!)

5. Why did the club allow the mishandling of the Huckerby situation, which was the worst PR disaster of the 25 years I?ve been a supporter of our fine club? I love Dion but Hucks gave us so much more and to have to watch someone take the legendary plaudits, even as deserved as they were and for him (Hucks) to be swepped aside like an old tramp was disgusting.
