    I think by the very definition of the word, it is disloyal, but that doesnt have to be a negative word. To me loyalty is when you stick with someone or something when at that moment you have more reasons for dumping someone than keeping them. Loyalty, or marriage, or anything requiring commitment is easier when everything is smelling of roses.

    [quote user="Dennis The Menace"]Has anyone heard of disloyalty? He got us into the premier league ...[/quote]

     

    Did he? or did Norwich City Football Club, with him included; go to the promised land? If he is responsible for that, than he is equally responsible for the Canaries no longer being there and on top of that the current situation. If the manager''s position is that powerful, why arent we saving up transfer money for Jose Mourinho?

    [quote user="superhux"]If they are calling worthy outers the ''hooligan minority'', maybe they werent listening at the crystal palace game. I dont think one person wasn''t chanting. The board needs to get a grip before the fans start to desert and it hits them where it hurts, the bank balance.[/quote]

     

    Lets play along for a minute. Lets pretend it is a "hooligan minority" can we understand then that the club is responding to their protests, whether the result is what they were hoping for? The Club needs to make the best decision for the club, not make reactionary decisions to what they consider a minority.

    Re Worthless''s ''Roy of the Rovers'' comments about Hucks, when will managers wake up and realise that ''neat and tidy'' safety first football will never win anything, least of all the supporters?

    *shrug* the Italians do it pretty well, and they dont do too shabby in the Champs League. Its fun to watch them tactically than English football which often times resembles a volleyball game. 1..2..3....hoof

    You guys dont seem to appreciate how fickle a sport football is. It wasnt long ago that Worthington was "manager of the month" based on a few good games. A few bad games, and people are calling for his head. Personally? I dont see anything in his playing or managerial career to indicate he''s much of anything. You used to play football? Thats nice, we need to win games, thanks.

     

    Part of that fickle attitude, and something I''ve brought up before; is the blame culture of English football. SOMEONE must be to blame. If there cant be a single player''s mistake that we can focus on, over analyse, and over criticse; then by default we revert back to the manager. Thats why we have the sickening display of the English WC manager''s job being the most scrutinised after the PM. Sometimes I fear for this country and its culture. Most of the time, really...

    Hold on, what exactly does Dean Ashton (or really any player) owe the club? They bought him yeah and brought him into the Prem League, but thats because he had something to offer them in return. It wasnt an act of charity on the part of Norwich FC, it was a business deal. It ended up not surviving, so he moved on.

    If it was Huckerby maybe id understand. He''d probably be riding the bench still at Man C, but Norwich has given him a second chance.

    [quote user="rocky marshall"]An amateur player probably doing amateur training. Training is about a mix of VOLUME, DURATION and INTENSITY. Doing more doesnt mean you''ll get more out. Its what you do with the time. And training two nights a week gets you 4 days off with no training - hardly comparable. Unless of course you want the players knackered for match day! We only see what happens on the pitch as opposed to in the weights room or individual work outside (running, pool sessions etc). The players are often at greens. Wages are paid for the job you do and nothing else. Should soldiers be paid when there''s no war? But they''re paid to fight and protect us - getting paid to sit around in a barracks - laughable!!!!! Dont judge others on your standards (those being not very high!).[/quote]

     

    Id love to see you run that by someone who does triathalons. Not that I did. But 2 and a half hours of training a day is a joke. And I assume that includes the skills sessions. Id have excpted 2 hours plus just of physical work.

    What difference does it make? Im hardly one to say Nigel Worthington is the best manager we can get, but the abuse of a manager is part of the extremism of British football. If we cant lay the blame from a match on a single player and his blatant mistake or miscue, we default back to the manager. In WC 98 it was Beckham against Argetina. Failing that we immediately go back to Sven. The blame culture wears a bit thin after a while.What would have changed today if Jose Mourinho was running the club? Would whoever deflected the ball on the free kick would have been put in a different order in the wall?

    Analysis of tactics is nice, but when the team wins no one bothers to say "well, that person was out of position, but we won anyways"

    Sometimes you just get beaten.

    I thought it was interesting last year after the controversy of Arsenal''s (?) all-foreign lineup for one game and they had a table on Sky Sports of the makeup of all the teams. Norwich had one of the highest % of English (maybe British?) players, the top teams had the least...

    I think its just maths. If you put together the 11 best players in the world, its highly unlikely they''d all come from one country.
