No I think it will very difficult. the problem is if we dont go up this year , then next year we will weaker to get promoted.

"Emi wanted out, we had no chance of keeping him. If Rowe’s agent is to be believed, he also wants out." good point, players want to leave, that won't stop the 10% becoming loud.

virtually no Championship clubs have squads that are ready for the Prem. (burnley looked amazing last year now are laughing stock. Our problem is buying the right players for the Prem. Farke I we bought nobody, Farke II we sold our only prem class player and wasted all the money on young players not ready/not good enough for the prem. we need the middle ground keep all our players and buy 2 or 3 experienced players not young hopefuls. But the gap has become wider, so we need to be realistic.

If we go up and we sell Sainz, as we did with Emi. Then the 10% will be very loud.

thats safe standing.

Glen Roeder, Grant, Hamilton, Megson , Adams Gunn wasn't a manager, he was a legend, who ever gave him the job please stand up

Delia loves the club and has done her best, Webber has wasted a lot of money, and it's not Delia's fault she doesn't have billions to correct the problems. If the only solution to Norwich City is throwing in billions, football has its soul.

For those who remember Chase out... Delia does say daft things but compare to Chase

hopefully he is putting together a short list, so when he pulls the trigger he knows he has a better option. looking at John Eustace record he may be the best bet

craig downs said on radio norfolk about the recruitment team , "but did anyone see him play?!?!!!" . Stats can be useful to confirm views on players. But using data as the key to finding players is stupid. Requirement is so key these days why don't we have ex footballers in the recruitment team. I remember a scout told me many years ago it's easy to find the best player in any team just ask a few fans, they know who is good. To prove the point when did a bad player win the norwich player of the year award, compared to how many bad players we have had. With so much money in the game, then it brings such BS i.e. recruitment teams locked in a room crunching numbers. sack the recruitment team.

yes 100% right, craig downs said on radio norfolk about the recruitment team , "but did anyone see him play?" . Stats can be useful to confirm views on players. But using data as the key to finding players is stupid. Requirement is so key these days, yet the recruitment teams are full of data analysts, why don't we have ex footballers in the recruitment team.

Im a black belt six sigma management consultant , so i understand data and BS.

i'm thinking the same i'm done. missing the old days too much, standing in the barclay, would never have considered giving up when we had duncan forbes,

Jim Blair played in the League Cup Final at Wembley vs Tottenham Hotspur, as Jimmy Bone was not fit.

exactly, so what is the point?

what was the formation at Preston, so many different variations reported, from 4231, 433, 442...

the worry is after we sacked Smith we drew and lost at home, so if Smith wasn't the problem...

we should not judge him on one game after smith sacking, it's easy to manage a team after a sacking, not so easy after a few loses. remember B Gunn his first game was fantastic and then quickly went south. Why didn't Webber have options, because it was clear Smith was dead man walking a while ago.

wagner is a no, why sack farke then replace him with a lesser version of the same wilder is a no, only slightly better version of smith interim is a no, just gives players an option to wait for next manager Allan Russell is a no, he may be good now, but its easy when new in to a job, could he cope with losing games, unknown big risk the only out of work candidate that has a Premier league CV is Dyche.

He is fighting back, problem is he is fighting the fans, I thought he had the experience to get us up, but his team selections and most players playing worse and worse...

listening to how recruitment team work and there record so far, i don't think we have a chance to get good premier league players. we need players that are ready now and if they are expensive only buy one or two. For example Skipp, would cost a lot but would be better than 6 players totalling the same price, that are; injured, new to english football, just potential, cheap.

The only thing I've always disliked about this club is how meek and nice we are, we just never seem to be capable of doing what WBA did to us yesterday whenever we're in the Premier League or playing better teams and we can't match teams who do that to us. I wasn't getting wound up by what WBA we're doing yesterday or the ref for letting it go, I was getting wound up by how we refused to give them some back and that we were just compliantly letting them get away with it. Not one of our players started getting on the refs back about the time wasting, we never left a foot in on someone or pulled them down when they were breaking on us, there was no holding or shirt pulling from us or dumping players on the floor during an aerial challenge . You need that side of the game as well as the prettier stuff. Talk all you want about money/players/tactics etc if we had that edge about us and were capable of playing dirty and spoiling games we'd have gotten more than a pathetic 21 points last year and suffered fewer thrashings. Like one of our former managers used to say, you have to earn the right to play and yesterday we didn't, it's like we expected WBA to just let us and we were lucky to get a point alongside a dire performance. Duncan Forbes you are missed ...

no to the drum

VAR is killing the game, it does not work in football and football has to keep changing the rules just to make VAR work. I can't think of any situation VAR works well. If they really use clear and obvious it would only apply in about 1% of cases.
