I'd probably keep taking the money tbf.

Realistically, Norwich are never going to be more than a yo-yo club. People say Farke couldn't cut it in the Prem but it doesn't matter who we get, we are getting relegated sooner or later. If we survive a couple of seasons or even a few seasons we'll eventually be relegated - unless we are billionaire rich.
So, until we are billionaire rich are we getting better than Farke???
Two things about him:
Firstly, his brand of football was a joy to watch.
Secondly, and this should not be underestimated, he bled yellow and green.

30 minutes ago, mrdi said:Yes, they were all awful.
As was Kane in his short stint here, he wasn't what we needed at that time. If you're suggesting we should lay off Idah in case he metamorphoses into a Kane-like worldie, that's pushing the creative envelope way beyond realms of feasibility.
Yes I watched every dire minute and quite frankly, I want my Sunday afternoon back.Kane wasn't awful when he was here. And I'm not saying Idah is awful.
But when you watched Kane you could tell he had the touch and awareness and he was doing the right things on the pitch.
Idah is lacking that real sharp touch, the awareness of what's around him and the speed of thought.
-
Indeed. Pukki's speed of thought remains our biggest and most reliable threat.

Alternatively, Rooney carried England for years.

And ability.

People have the hump over Buendia leaving but root for Maddison?
Not sure what the difference is. They both went to bigger/better clubs for lots more money.
And you'd have to say that Buendia "did his bit" for Norwich more so than Maddison.
For me it's just nice to see these quality players in a Norwich shirt for as long as it lasts.

1 minute ago, Grumpy said:Tomkinson and Mccallum have acquitted themselves well tonight.I think I prefer McCallum to Demi
Wasn't McCallum beaten rather easily for the cross that resulted in the penalty?
Wasn't the only time either.

He created his own "luck" with a very clever piece of play.
That is Teemu Pukki. Different class.

He's not really a no-nonsense player. He's decent if you give him time and space but put him up against it against the better players and he struggles.

Yup.

The Sean Dyche who kept Burnley in the Prem for a number of years and got them into Europe?
No. No. No. We are far too good for dross like that. I would hate to have a manager with that kind of record.

I would agree about Bryan Gunn. I think we've had some better keepers than him since.
I would also suggest a winger who played for us in the 90s. I know a lot of people who felt he was destined for greatness only for injuries to scupper that. He was a good player but never likely to be a great one, in my view.
-
Even if he doesn't get his final ball right sometimes he can be effective just unsettling defenders and causing uncertainty.
And if he plays enough minutes he will pop up with some goals and assists.
-
As for Gibson, he's got a mistake in him. Sean Dyche worked out pretty quick that he couldn't trust him.
But, he can do a good enough job at this level. He's a bit rusty at the moment but he has proven himself in this league and he'll be able to do it again.

28 minutes ago, Nuff Said said:McCullum didn’t do much wrong, but I have to say I thought Dimi was better. Looks like that’s academic now though.
Agreed. McCallum didn't do much wrong... but nor did he add much. Dimi is a bit more dynamic.
-
He's nothing special.
-
He was a decent prospect but he wasn't good enough to get in the team at the time and wouldn't have got in it since.
-
Good player. Has suffered from the departure of Buendia.
Needs to improve his final ball - as has been the case for some time now.
I'd much rather he was playing for us than someone else next season.

He's one of the best left backs at the club.

I haven't watched the interview but Hugill is what he is. Hernandez has a lot of faults but is 10 x the player Placheta is. May even be more like 100 x.
We were getting relegated whatever but Hernandez is so much better than Placheta... Dare I say it, makes me think they accepted relegation from the off and accepted a few dollars for seemingly non key players.

23 minutes ago, hogesar said:Yep. Unfortunately as head coach you can't show to those under you, I.e your players, that you don't deem them good enough.
Players also know though. Experienced, proven and/or higher quality players will look around and think "He gives the ball away too much" or "He isn't quick enough" or... "He's sh*t".

31 minutes ago, hogesar said:Whilst he has done a rubbish job this season I think this is Ma****er making things up because he fell out with Webber.
We already had as many loans as we could so don't see why we would be advertising for more..
Agree he's done it because he's fallen out with Webber, disagree that he's making it up.
But there's every chance the pair of them are full of sh*t.
