Has Alex Tettey got his coaching badges?
Player manager maybe..
-
I wouldn't want him just because of his thuggish behaviour, but also even if you anonymise his cv it's not very good really
He did well in the Aussie League and the J league
His one try in Europe in Belgium was a disaster and he was sacked after 6 months with a 13% win record
Plus he's nearly 50

Just now, Mackrel829 said:The NCFC app has Sargent at LWB and Dimi at CM. I assume this is wrong and Sargent will be up top alongside Pukki?
Also, why us Nunez on the bench again? He's our best midfielder.
Nunez is probably still not 100% fit. I'm sure he'll come on at some point
I see Sinani, who started the last 2, is out of the squad completely
-
I think something like that is likely to be what happens
-
I can't see any way he'll get a work permit
The rules are different if you're under 21 but even so I can't see how he'll get enough points. He's presumably for the U23s anyway. I don't know if there are different rules if he's just registered as a youth player and not registered as a full professional?
Hopefully the club knows the roolz

The old cliche about luck evening out across the season also has some truth
We were pretty lucky ourselves during that long winning run eg against Sunderland

We aren't great but we aren't 20th in the form tables
We're 10th over the last 6 games or 16th over the last 10

Sadly I think Idah is never going to reach his potential due to injury. As nutty says, they're talking about a joint compromised athlete. I think he's always going to have to be 'managed' - ie not play every game

31 minutes ago, Feedthewolf said:Just wondering if anyone had seen Abu play? His goalscoring record is really good, and he'll be 20 next summer... he's scored 8 in 7 games for the U21s this season, after 15 in 27 last season. Hugill needs to be shipped out in January, and Idah has never looked like being a regular goalscorer for us... could he be a potential successor to Pukki if we're strapped for cash?
I've never seen him play live but he's had a really good record at u23 level for a couple of years
Dickson-Peters and Omotoye were sent out on loan but Kamara never was for some reason. He was in the squad for the Brighton game last season so I reckon he is seen as the next striker in line
I'd love him to either get a loan in January or a spot on the bench

They won't sack him just before Xmas
If you look at the timeline of Farke's sacking (according to Michael Bailey), he lost to Leeds on the Sunday.
Webber mulled over the decision and decided to tell the board that that was his recommendation on the Thursday
The board met on the Saturday morning (the day of the Brentford game) and agreed to sack him that day
So I imagine they'll be making a decision this week and if he's sacked it'll be just after Christmas

12 hours ago, Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man said:Didn't your opening few paragraphs describe Scott Parker?
I agree with you though, because those are my exact thoughts, and why Russell Martin would be my number one pick.
Maybe, but Parker would be expensive having 2 promotions on his CV and he's never done much in the Prem. I don't think his football style is anything special. He's a good motivator but I don't think he's that much else
What Smith shows is you need a coach on their way up, who's still ambitious, not one going from club to club going through the motions
Out of British coaches I know I'd also be happiest with Martin

We should be doing what Burnley did
Kompany was doing OK at Anderlecht, but not anything superamazing results wise. Presumably they watched his team play and liked his style, youth policy etc and took a punt on him
I'm sure there are young coaches who are doing well and seem to have the right philosophy working around the world. We must have an extensive scouting network in place looking at players, so we must know who the promising coaches are.
I'd feel much happier with a coach under 40 who has a philosophy he can communicate so we can feel there's a long term plan again
If we just sack Smith and go for Gerrard or Scott Parker or someone just because they're available it would be a waste of time

He wouldn't get a work permit would he?
-
Also Giannoulis
Did Smith say anything about them after the match in between slagging off the fans?
I'd be disappointed if Dimi leaves in January - I think he's good at this level - but I wouldn't be surprised. I think he's been treated poorly

22 minutes ago, mrdi said:I genuinely think we’d be better if we sacked S&S tonight and made Kenny McLean caretaker Player-Manager.
That would be so funny
-
I assume Giannoulis must have a last minute injury as we've not named any full backs on the bench

1 minute ago, cambridgeshire canary said:It's an unchanged 11.
I can see that but why?
Sinani did nothing last time
Also Giannoulis out of the squad completely
-
Still no Todd and Sinani gets another start!!
-
No. He's already shown he's worse than Smith in the same job so it would be completely pointless

I wasn't sure if this had started yet but rumour of us after Lamare Bogarde from Villa U21s in the Pink un for a loan
Seems to be a central defender so hopefully it's not true! Would rather see more of Tomkinson and obviously Andy O if fit
-
There's no way Dyche would come here
He'll be picked up by some lower Prem team

This is still rumoured to be happening

Thanks. I'll probably give that a go
I love a football book. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a (auto)biography from a Norwich player from the 80s, early 90s?
Or a decent book in general about the club from that era?

8 hours ago, norfolkngood said:Whoever is in charge of dortmunds under 21’s get them in !
We should have stuck with the plan and got a upgrade on farkethat is what Webber sold us having a DOF would do continue the work from coach to coach without a big change if and when a coach left / sacked
not get someone in completely different
Isn't this a Brexit thing?
I don't think we can get an unknown European coach these days They wouldn't get a work permit.
