Silence is golden, just maybe? June 7, 2022 - Friday, 27th May already seems like a lifetime ago – the breaking NCFC news, which actually said not very much at all, aside from the fact that seven American citizens were guests in the directors’ box at Carrow Road at the previous weekend’s game against Spurs. The intervening period has,… ...
From Milwaukee to Carrow Road – Happy Days ahead maybe? May 29, 2022 - Up until Friday’s breaking news, my personal knowledge of the residents of Milwaukee was strictly limited to one Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli, better known as Fonzie, or the Fonz - a fictional character played by Henry Winkler in the 1970s American sitcom, Happy Days. Now there’s a new name to Google… ...
Like it or not, it really is all about the money May 3, 2022 - It barely seems a year ago, but we’ve just passed the first anniversary of the ill-fated launch of the so-called European Super League. At the time, my abiding memory upon first hearing the announcement was “just how much money do those greedy b**tards want?” Both the Premier League and the… ...
An AGM unlike any other but with a positive air and praise aplenty for City’s Academy November 27, 2020 - As Norwich City AGM’s go, they really don’t come much different to this; online, with no fans physically present and with Stephan Phillips in charge – was it really two years ago that Ed Balls joked about being on a mission to get Stephan to answer a question? Of course,… ...
What it felt like to be one of the lucky thousand in a socially distant Carrow Road September 22, 2020 - It’s something of an understatement to say that a lot has happened since the 28th February; nearly seven months ago and the last occasion many City fans had the opportunity to visit Carrow Road. Therefore, last Wednesday morning’s announcement by the EFL that City’s game against Preston North End had… ...
A Norwich City FC decade… by numbers December 30, 2019 - As the decade finally draws to a close, it’s worth pondering should it really be described as the stereotypical terrible teens? For context, it’s been a decade that started for the Canaries with half a season in League One, has subsequently given us five Championship seasons, plus four and a… ...
Time to stop playing the self-funding card? Always a nagging doubt over what’s next July 10, 2019 - We’re frequently reminded that “football isn’t like any other business.” And, judging how some football clubs seem to operate, you could easily be forgiven for thinking that their respective owners, or CEOs, seem to take leave of any business sense they’ve acquired over the years. Of course, as fans, we… ...
Final word on AGM: Openness and transparency but difficult decisions ahead for the Board November 25, 2018 - If you’re ever minded to ask the question, when, for a football club, is the best time to hold an AGM, being top of the league, with ‘that lot’ 23 places below you, together with a relatively healthy set of financials in your back pocket, that’s probably just about perfect… ...
No seven-goal-thriller, but Jordan’s hat-trick sees City through to next round of the Carabao September 26, 2018 - MFW's go-to guy for midweek away trips, Gary Field, delivers yet again. Here are five things that struck him after his Tuesday night jaunt to Adams Park... Ringing the changes Nine changes (one of the unusual consequences being an increase in the average age of the starting XI – something… ...
Two wins on the bounce for buoyant City and some canny game management September 20, 2018 - MFW's Gary Field was one of the heroic 919 at the Madjeski last night. He kindly offered us a few post-match observations... Home grown and club developed... It may have gone unnoticed by many that all but one of City’s previous seven Championship match day squads had contained the absolute minimum… ...
