This week has seen the conclusion of the eagerly awaited take over of the club by Billionaire media mogul Marcus Evans. 98% of shareholders voted in favor of Evans becoming the proud owner of East Anglia's largest and most successful football club.
Our transfer war chest is now safely in the bank and I 'm sure Magilton and co are working overtime in finding the players we need to sign in January.
The thing I have found amusing about this whole situation is the reaction it has caused amongst the Budgie fans, I have read article after article and post after post from bitter and clearly deluded Norwich supporters claiming that this deal is somehow a really bad thing for Town and it is clearly going to signal the end of ITFC as we know it. The fact that we already have in place legally binding contracts as to what Evans can and can't do is apparently irrelevant and he will soon start to "Asset Strip" the club and our best players will be sold for peanuts, this despite the fact that Marcus won't see ANY return on his investment until we are an established premier league side, so in Budgie logic the best way for us to do that would be to make a few million by selling the likes of Walters, Haynes and Garvan now!!
The envy coming out of Carrow Rd is immense I imagine that was enhanced this week when our Youth team and Gary Roberts thrashed what was their FIRST team up until very recently 5-1! When you think about it I guess you can see why they would be so bitter, I mean they have had no past, they haven't got much of a present, and judging by the quality of players coming out of their "Academy" they don't appear to have much of a future either!
Anyway enough about the little team from down the road, our main priority in the short term MUST be to get an away win and our next two away games (Leicester and Coventry) seem ideal places to start, then we have a top of the league clash against WBA at the fortress on New years day, before a fairly attractive looking Cup tie, and then we can start to see where Jim will be spending his wealth.
As I stated last week I feel we need to strengthen in several areas, none more so than in Defence, I hear that Birmingham have a decent defender available by the name of Martin Taylor apparently he can be bough for around £1m and has already confessed to loving the East Anglia area, and the only other side in East Anglia who could compete for him apparently can't afford to sign the only reason why they have won a few games, so come on Jim let's make their bitterness grow even further!!!!!!!
I wish all Town supporters a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and let's get some bigger crowds down at the Fortress as the players both need and deserve your support!
