    Whether we had the budget or not we still spent plenty on that Premier League season. An overall wage bill of £118 million compared to £93 million for Burnley or £68 million for Brentford. Leeds spent virtually the same as us that season. It is more about getting value for money whether Webber or Farke or anybody else. Maybe too many cooks are spoiling the broth?

    More like too many line cooks believing they’re chefs.

    He's not a winger and never will be. The fact he kept getting thrown on the wing by both Smith and Wagner was bizzare and honestly rather concerning.

    Agreed. Pukki was the guy and everyone else had to play around him. Now it’s Sarge’s opportunity to become the guy. He’s had plenty of time to learn from one of the best.

    So the Sarge picks up a knock game two. Fewer players have received more insults on this forum than Sargent in his first season ('not even a footballer,' 'League One at best' etc. etc.) yet now so much expectation is being put on him for next season. I expect him to do well, but 20 goals for the season is stretching expectations, imo.

    I no longer rely on the Idah 'promise' more than just hope (probably in vain.)

    Barnes was surely not primarily brought in for his goal-getting and might well star alongside Sargent, or finish alongside him more like.

    I hear what you’re saying and agree in part. However, if I’m recalling correctly, Sargent did well in front of goal at the beginning of last season, before the World Cup, while he was up top on his own. Then, when Pukki returned to the team, his goals diminished.

    So I am optimistic. But the depth, quality and/or reliability of the remaining stikers is not inspiring to me.

    Nah fair point. 

    It's more about looking at the clubs we went up with etc and feeling that irritation that here we are back to square one after this bloody 5 year plan.

    We haven't had a good season of football in 4 years now ( I'm omitting the last promotion year as none of us got to see it)

    Actually would be interesting to hear from fans who don't regularly attend Norwich games In regard to watching / listening to city is how they support so actually they might feel better  about things than those of us who follow away / home.

    No. I live in the USA - grew up in Norwich and at one time lived on Carrow Rd. I am not happy. Not because we’re not top 10 Prem. Not because we’re not getting promoted. Not because we sold Buendia and the others. It’s because once again we’ve been sold on an idea of where the club wants to be and the planned direction of growth, and that plan has utterly failed. The club management have utterly waisted the best chance we had to establish NCFC as low-level Prem team and have fallen foul of from the hip recruiting and financial incompetence.

    I have supported this club for 40 years and in all that time I have not seen a better chance to level up, nor such an efficient method of the waisting of that chance.

    I can only speak for myself and I must say that I am absolutely disappointed in the owners and the executive team.

    Wagner will have until Christmas before I include him.

    The main thing about Ireland though is that background feel you get from the place, an aura if you will, that it’s a deeply intolerant religious backwater.

    Sure, they have some of the trapping of modern western civilisation, many of their cars have 5 gears now, but there’s that sense that the bubbling religious hatred is very much alive and kicking

    Nothing beats a drive through that classic west cork countryside only to be confronted by a poster of Jesus with red eyes and the word “REPENT” in capital letters. Or the multitude of creepy little shrines at the side of the road. The place is very “the hills have eyes” 

    I mean, surely there has to be a database for genetics like they have in Iceland so you don’t accidentally sleep with your sister. Lottttt of similar looking people in West Cork that’s for sure. That pale skin, those beady little eyes.

    Its a serious problem in a problem with deep social problems rooted in religious hatred. The women looked cowed, scared. Probably by the priests. A troubling thing to see in the 21st century to still encourage that if you make one mistake you are going to burn in hell forever.

    Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I find the people nothing but very friendly.

     

    "Its a serious problem in a problem with deep social problems rooted in religious hatred." - With sentences like this I think the problem is more with you. Are you related to Marjorie Taylor Green by chance? I ask because you sound just as stupid as her.

    I think your new name should be The Real Dumb A55.

    The lack of acceptance for the religious hatred that cuts through Irish society is a common feature as well. So this attitude isn’t a surprise.

    The priests still did what they did though, and there’s plenty in Ireland who will defend what they did to the death for a ticket to fake paradise.

    Like I said, they try and patch it up and do that little fake Irish jig to show how happy go lucky they are but it’s there. Righhhht there in plain sight. Deeply unhappy people that are doing a worse and worse job every year hiding it.

    A deeply poor country that’s going nowhere to be honest. Zero impact on the world and waning in relevancy. Can’t even do terrorism properly nowadays. The glory days behind them.

    Wow....where should I begin? Maybe at the beginning.... "The lack of acceptance for the religious hatred...." So, are you arguing that religious hatred should be accepted? Or did you me 'acknowledgment'? What a dumb a55. Please tell me you didn't raise any children.

     

    To help you understand your place in the world, I've reworked your post:

    "The lack of acceptance for the what the Real Buh says on the Pink Un message board is a common feature as well. So his continuous stupid attitude isn’t a surprise.

    The Real Buh still does what they do though, and there aren't many on this message board who will defend what The Real Buh says to the death, because they aren't desperate for a ticket to associate with ignorance.

    Like I said, The Real Buh tries to patch it up and do that little fake intelligent jig to show how happy go lucky they are but it’s there. Righhhht there in plain sight. The deeply stupid and self-serving comments are becoming worse and worse every year and hiding it is a struggle.

    The Real Buh is deeply poor in mentality that’s going nowhere to be honest. Zero impact on the world and waning in relevancy. Can’t even do ridicule and sarcasm properly nowadays. The Real Buh's glory days were decades ago."

    What var seems to do is the opposite of what it's supposed to. The idea is great but it's the way it's used. 

    It should be for seeing an obvious error by the ref and correcting it. Instead the idea seems to be. 'what decision do we want?' and coming to that decision. Quite often when the referee was right in the first place.

    Agreed. VAR is an excellent tool in the hands of incompetent people.

    How about AI refereeing?

    With regards to making comparisons to the nazis never going well … It’s notable that the Tories are speaking as if he were directly referencing the Holocaust which he wasn’t … he was referencing the language which preceded it by several years … and which then led to the culture shift that made actions including the Holocaust feasible…

    I think we are duty bound to call out emerging nazi/fascist tendencies where we see them or surely we allow them to develop again ? … As someone once said - the price of freedom is eternal vigilance!

    But just how many missed chances did we make today? Anyone keeping count? Forget the players having a rest after the match need to get them straight to the training ground to practice finishing as it rather feels like any other day we would have won five or six nill🤣

    Funny question that. 
    Because on one hand we didn’t make any of the missed chances, because we missed them all. Yet, by missing all of the missed chances we made, we made all of the missed chances miss

    Maybe the question should be, how many scoring chances did we miss today?

    Lol, says a lot about your character that you’d rush to white knight a serial failure and con man like Stuart Webber pal.

    it’s well documented how western chubby executives have ruined everest, it’s a bit of an ecological disaster up there nowadays, and yes, he will pay Sherpas to effectively drag him up there. It won’t be him, he’ll lean on others and take the credit the way he has done his whole life.

    Hes admitted he’s doing this for him, he doesn’t care about charity or the club. All he cares about is himself. 

    Did somebody superglue those 5hit-tinted glasses to your face, or do you not actually need them?

    I’m not defending Webber. Heck, I actually said he was a sociopath just about a month ago. But of course you half bake an assumption and present it as reality. So predictable. 

    What I am saying is that whatever Webber does outside of football has nothing to do with you and your sorry view of the world.

    As I said before, how about you try falling off your ar5e and get a life outside of football.

    It’s evident by your tone and comments that you’ve really done nothing for anyone else in your life worth noting. And for that, you feel justified in tearing other people down who do.

    Sad, sad Buh. How fast you must have to run and how much you have to criticize others, to not allow the vacancy that is your life to catch up with you. But all that running translates into nothing more than bitterness and cynicism. What a waste.

    Now go play nicely in the land fill.

    I went and had a look at this summit foundation thing Stuart Webber is climbing for and his last jolly was up Mont Blanc in September and I thought he was going to be dragged up Everest by locals, dosed up to the eyeballs on altitude medication and oxygen, during the World Cup. Absolutely nothing said about it since though. 
     

    Was it all a con? Did he just not fancy it and went to Florida with whatever of our players fancied going? Did he already do it and just didn’t want to outshine Deano?

    Funny. Says a lot about your character when all you can do is try and take down a man who is putting his life on the line - and a helluva lotta money from his own pocket - to raise money for a charity. What, do you think the sherpas are going to carry him up there on a rickshaw?

    But, but, but he should be chained to his desk and doing everything he possibly can to make Big Buh happy.

    And, if you had the balls to even think about climbing Everest, along with all of the other mountains Webber has summited, all in the name of charity (read ‘other people’), rather than thinking about your incessant need to tear people down who are trying to do good, then again, it only speaks volumes about your true character.

    You might not like Webber as a sporting director, but I’m not sure how that gives you license to attack how he’s trying to help others in the world. 

    What have you done other than fall off your **** to help others at the scale the Webbers are? A big fat nothing is my guess.

    Do get a life outside of football. Webber has.

    Well, if stats are anything to measure performance by, Dean Smith should be fired.

    Games in charge: 55

    Won: 17

    Draw: 10

    Lost: 28

    Goals for: 62

    Goals against: 96

    Total points: 61

    Points per Game: 1.1

    Add to this the growing lack of discipline shown by the squad on game days, the fans growing negative reaction, and his comments after the game on Saturday, how can he not be gone by now?

    Could anyone else survive an employment review with productivity at these levels?

    A quick (abbreviated) story about how there is no cure for stupid:

    A guy was recently sentenced to 8 months in jail for his involvement in the January 6th attempted insurrection in the US. He voiced how he was upset with Trump that while he was going to jail, Trump was selling NFTs for his own personal gain. This deeply upset the guy and he admitted that he felt duped by Trump and that he will no longer support him. So, he said he's going to support Kanye West for president instead.

    Delia & Co possess a style of ignorance for which there is no cure. They are stuck in old ways of thinking and they lack the courage to move aside and allow the 21st-century mentality to take this club forward. It's sad how they delude themselves into believing they are fans of the club, while they watch it being perpetually washed away and rebuilt like a sand castle. Delia & Co lack the resources, skill, and understanding to create a real foundation to build upon.

    Webber and Smith should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of Delia & Co's incurable ignorance. Webber and Dean are intelligent people who, in my opinion, know exactly what they're doing. They know exactly how to manipulate Delia & Co. Webber was exposed and ceased all media communication for fear of further damage to his ego and position at the club, while Dean is now being exposed for the fraud that he is. At the same time, Delia & Co should be ashamed of themselves for presenting themselves as 'true fans' when they have proven that after 26 years of ownership, they have no clue of how to be the stewards of a football club.

    It's a terrible situation that NCFC has come to find itself in, considering how much potential has existed over the last 5 seasons.

    Funny thing is, and as painful as it will be for the fans to experience, this could be the beginning of the Attanasio era.

    If we fail to go back up and we're forced to sell our players to survive financially, leaving us to toil in mid-table championship mediocrity, our stock will go down. In this case, Attanasio may find himself in a position to buy out Delia & Co sooner and for considerably less than he may have been planning to.

    NOTE: I assume that Mark Attanasio intends to buy into the club to eventually own it outright.

    What kind of question is this? Really? Some level of self-examination and inner reflection is needed here by the OP as to why the need for a divisive question.

    Do I like Buh? Of course I do! I'd go as far as to say I even respect Buh. Sure, we may have gone to the mat a couple of times because he has strong opinions that I don't agree with most of the time. He may have perfected the art of getting under people's skin with his style of rhetoric. And yes, just as we all do, he hides his shortcomings behind a well-honed sense of wit. But, to not like him simply because I disagree with him? Sorry. No.

    I think the world is becoming waaaay to fragile if this kind of question is posted for real. If someone laughs at the homeless, makes fun of the afflicted, kicks a stray dog or beats on their family, or if someone steals or destroys another person's property, or manipulates another maliciously, then I think it's fair to say I don't like them. That to me would constitute a 'bad' person. But to ask if I do or do not like a person because of what they have written regarding how they feel about the football team they support in a manner I might not agree with? Easy there bro. Sounds like someone's got their priorities twisted. May I recommend you (OP) head over to Ricardo's latest post for a hefty shift in your perspective?

    Controversial view here... a section of the British press is very much responsible for encouraging histrionic over-reactionary behaviour. There has been a huge move toward society being far more divisive. If you disagree with someone that means you have to agree with the polar opposite viewpoint.

    It suits the people who instigate it, it prevents reasoned conversation and constructive debate. It prevents people meeting in the middle and forming a rational view on the situation.
