It was just a light hearted comment regarding your post, i.e you expecting the appointment following Farke to be worse. However it is one I agree with, I don't see relegation being avoided this season and I think we probably have the right man in charge to take us up a third time. Whether a team on our budget can ever succeed with Farkeball in the premier league is doubtful, but it won't be next seasons problem. On another thread I said I would take Howe, but thinking about it I may be underestimating just how much he had to spend whilst at Bournemouth.

I feel there may be a couple on this thread winding you up pal....

In that case you'd be advised to switch your vote, before we end up with Brexit - Norwich edition 😀

Does pose the question, if Norwich were to go down this season, haven't we got the right man in place to take us back up? I'd certainly not want to go down a 'short term solution' route in a desperate attempt to stay up, which I can't see happening. However perhaps another long term option like Eddie Howe would appeal.

What started? The demoralisation of our team being ridiculed by our own fans ? 😉 In all seriousness, whilst there's no excusing the performance or effort of the players today. For fans to be singing that after 2 minutes away to the European champions does suck a bit...

Godfrey getting slaughtered by Everton fans. Buendia not fairing to much better in the view of Villa fans either. I don't think a manager change does anything in the long term. This league has gone for clubs like ours.

I think you are seeing what you expect to see. I don't imagine he said anything of the sort. This is probably a case of him coming out and saying what he has to say to make the defeat seem somehow less damaging.

Indeed. This is the case the for about 90%+ of English football clubs sadly, such is the way the English game has gone. Today we can look at Brentford as the team getting it right. Two years ago that was Sheffield United, but it certainly wasn't last year. Perhaps Brentfords stars will continue to allign and they could get a 9th place finish. Then it will be back to a relegation fight next season. With Newcastle very much joining the elite the gap between those at the top and everyone else becomes greater every year. I honestly think our best hope is that the super league does actually happen or we see some drastic salary cap rules come in. The former is more likely I think.

Webber, Farke or the owners? Does wanting them all out not weaken the individual arguments somewhat?
