Does anyone really have a choice to get involved with Norman? Did we? The common factor is he will only get involved with desperate clubs who have no real choice. 

We didn't know what he was like though did we. In fact, he was sound at first.

No he wasn’t. He was a dick from the first second he took over the club….ask Wilder.

So we all didn't love him (got dressed up as smurfs) when we won promotion?

I think we were all smurfed along on the crest of a wave of euphoria, not been used to success. We all succumbed to an expected upsurge in our fortunes, me included with my Smurf outfit, face painting, etc. All at my age! I looked ridiculous driving home from Wycombe with many a motorist scratching their heads in disbelief.🤣. Happy days that sadly faded so, so quickly.

Yeah agreed. I’m not going to rewrite history. There were many fans who kissed his ass as much as Carol’s today. Right up to the end of Page people were still giving it the “we love you papa Smurf” tosh and “thank you for your sweetie jar” guff.

 Nope….I certainly wasn’t.

 Nope….I certainly wasn’t. 

What I'm saying is that we all thought he was brill for the first couple of seasons. Tranmere know exactly what their getting from the start this time.

And everyone loved the 'sweetie jar'

Don’t speak for everyone, I didn’t rate him since his bust up with Wilder. It’s only because we had a really good manager with Adams. Don’t think everyone was fooled by his antics.

It's relevant to PVFC, I don't think it really matters what section it's in, except obviously if it was somewhere else it would get less traction.

I am rather surprised at the interest and engagement in the topic, but I guess for many it's some kind of morbid curiosity. I've long since moved on from the days of Norman, so I don't particularly care what he's up to. Saying that, it is a little strange if he is interested in Tranmere of all clubs. I'm surprised he's had any success at all in business endeavours given his time with us and if he's looking at a club like Tranmere.

He was shrewd enough to make money from owning us though.
