For your info a copy of my latest email to Neil Doncaster

Neil

Yet another email from me but I like many other City supporters wish to keep trying to get the message across to the Board that Nigel Worthington must go.

After the Hull game NW said that it was a good point earned, that the team had played well but that more penetration was needed. I make the following comments on what NW said:-

1 It shows how low his expectations have sunk when he refers to one of the most expensively assembled squads in the Championship, playing a team last year who was playing two divisions below us and who are no better than an average Championship side, doing well to earn a point as though this was a point gained rather than two points lost. His comments are more appropriate to the expectations of another average Championship side. The truth is that " an average Championship side " is an apt description for us - acceptable if he had had no money to spend but totally unacceptable for such an expensve squad signed almost entirely by him and playing to his tactics.
2. Have you read the Sunday newspaper reports of the game? Those available say that the point was undeserved ( Sunday Times), That Norwich got a huge slice of luck to get the equaliser ( The Guardian on Line) and the most damning ( apart from reports on websites from Norwich fans attending the game) being from the Sporting Life describing Norwich as being " Second best all afternoon and lifeless to the point of being disinterested". These are from national journalists ( not local journalists who will tend to put the best spin on the game ) with no axe to grind against Norwich.
3. NW`s comments after game made a mockery of his opinions but we have come to expect this from our manager these days.

I know that you bravely receive and respond to an ever increasing number of emails from supporters. Some will be posted on the fanzine sites. All that I have read are erudite, are consistent with what I have seen of the team this year , come from supporters who like me are passionate about their club but whose opinions appear to be given little or no weight. Can you reassure me that the Board are given copies of and give proper regard to these emails and are not dismissed by the Board as coming from rebellious people who dont really hold the best ineterests of the club at heart.

Thank you again for taking the time to read this email.
