The trouble we have at this stage of the season is the legacy left by Nigel Worthington and yes, it was stupid for the board to have kept him on for as long as they did. They have made some stupid mistakes and shown a lack of judgement on occasion that the fans have always called them up on but they''ve maintained that the club remains and honest, community club that is true to its roots and a joy to support (even through the bad times). Peter Grant is still finding his feet as a manager but part of the trouble is having to make do with an inept squad which he can''t change. The board have to think about this logically; they can get better deals on players at the end of the season once City''s place in the Championship is secured and it''s then that the board must throw money at the club so that Grant can get rid of the players who don''t care for the club. He''s made some awful tactical decisions since taking over but he is limited and must be able to risk experimentation for the greater good. The board have confidence that Norwich won''t go down this season, else they will be bringing in players now. I hope that this is a risk that will pay off, I''d rather the club spent money on players who were in it for the long run and not drafted in out of desperation. If the club stays up and the board doesn''t provide the money for Grant to rebuild the squad in his own likeness by the start of next season, and the club continues to falter, than I''ll understand but right now you sound like you''re just throwing your dummy out of the pram because your so-called beloved team (so beloved that you refuse to watch them until they start winning again) isn''t as high in the league as you want them to be and you''re far too proud to admit that you might potentially be supporting a league one side next season.
