    I think there's a big difference between A) Seeing his failures. B) Demanding him leave. C) Seeing him as the second coming. He has undoubtedly made mistakes (in my opinion sacking Farke being chief among them) but people in the B) camp above are often the same that wants to sack a manager when you are unlikely to get a better one or make a substitute when you've got David Strihavka sitting on the bench. They call for change in hope that it might improve. A change is only worth it if it's for the better. 

    If you have an idea whom could replace him that is better, brillaint. Otherwise, let's not repeat his mistake of sacking someone who has performed and replacing them with someone worse.

    Just because people think it's bad now, it doesn't mean it can't get worse. A change that makes you worse is (shock) a bad idea. 

    I'd take a punt on Paul Ashworth. Has lots of experience overseas, currently sporting director for Spartak Moscow.

    His brother is Dan Ashworth who did a great job in a similar role at Brighton and then left for Newcastle where he appointed Eddie Howe.

    The fact that they were born and raised in Norwich as Norwich fans, and played for Norwich City at youth level, is a bonus. 

    Sick of this Leeds fan hanging around taking his pay cheque after wasting £50m+ on dross in the market.

    Keep seeing people say "who would we replace him with", there's almost as many sporting directors as managers out there... you can even just put an advert up and see who completes an application? Then interview them and pick the best candidate. 

    Why is this seen as so complicated? If Ed Balls can find a sporting director then the Yanks can!

    Good for him, and good luck, but my grandad could score against Motherwell

    If he was there in the summer though he'd have played against PSV, Celtic, Ajax, Napoli, and Liverpool, clearly more exciting that he'd have in store at Norwich in the new few years if he'd stuck around. 

    Don't blame the lad.

    This is the most worrying thing, we looked completely overrun in midfiled and completely unable to keep hold of the ball.

    If you are playing 4-4-2 then you need a couple of decent wingers...

    At the game… nothing down the wings. Aarons and Tzolis really struggling and offering nothing.

    Barely strung 3 passed together.. really poor. No outlet, Wagner has to sort the wings out. 

    And we've got a full back on the right wing, and Tsoliz making his first start for us for about 19 months.

    I think teams tend to press us more when they know its an Omo Hanley partnership. The ball Gibson played to put Sara through a Little while ago is the quality we don't have from any of our other CBs

    Its nice having a left footed centre back, especially if playing with a marauding left back, but Gibson isn't imposing enough as a defender, its really difficult to imagine how he could ever have looked good enough to be on the cusp of an England cap and moving for a fee of £15m, even at his best for us in our last promotion season I found it difficult to wrap my head around that.

    The weird thing is, the backbone of this side got promoted, some of them twice. 

    And those players have had the psychological battering associated with a humiliating relegation, some of them twice.

    I don't think Webber really thought through those comments he made about not wanting to sign relegated players as they were damaged goods... about a year before we went down following a £750k spend.

    From time to time, some of our players look devoid of talent, balance and determination.

    AO came on and did everything right and couldn't look any more composed and determined, didn't put a foot wrong and kept us in the game, and then ends up straight back on the bench.

    First time Wagner has f*cked me off actually.

    McBurnie is now, three years later, finally having a half-decent season.

    But out of contract in the summer, so that's £17.5m on a striker who could walk for £0 after one good season in four.

    Would have him here mind you, always been a handful, and Pukki named him as the most under rated Championship player recently.

    When will football realise that wages are completely out of kilter with income. Most businesses get into financial trouble for other reasons than they are paying the staff too much and not getting value for money.

    In this case it is the installments on huge transfer fees that is causing them the issues, rather than their wage bill. They are still paying for the players they signed in the Prem.

    Brewster for £23m was particularly shocking business and his scoring record for them is worse than Adam Idahs for us.

    Oli McBurnie was £17.5m also, and he can walk for free in the summer!
