Not had my say on Francis yet so here goes...

I booed Francis last night and will continue to do so until he tells me that he wants to play for my club. I just can't concur with the view that you don't boo anyone who puts on the yellow shirt. Anyone who WANTS to wear it and gives 100% in it fine(Holt for instance), those who are only wearing it 'cos they're stuck here due to no other clubs rating them as highly as they (or their agent) rates themselves can f**k right off. Blind loyalty to anything in yellow & green is naive in the extreme and will actually hold the club back.
I ask those who cheered Francis last night (CHEERED!!! Exactly what has he done to be cheered? Fine, keep quiet if you don't want to boo, but to cheer someone who's taking the piss out of the club you purport to support?? Bizarre.), do you think what Francis & his agent have been up to this summer has been a good and healthy thing for Norwich City? If you are of sane mind the answer is obviously no. What's the best way of making sure it never happens again? Make all the players realise that we just won't stand for it, ie make Francis an example of and make his footballing life as uncomfortable as we can.
If that bloke stays i really fear for our season, a rotten apple could mess around with the whole squad, let's hope that some club is stupid enough to part with enough cash and we can get rid & forget about the whole sorry, sordid episode as soon as possible.
