After the situation with Grant (being inexperienced) im amazed at some of the responses on here. Malky, Bowen, Iwan...............??? All have no experience of 1st line management and have been right hand men, same as Grant was. Only Big Sam and Billy Davis are names of Managers with a bit of experience. Davis would be a waste of time cos he cant do anything without money and walked in the PL because of a row about cash with the board. Big Sam knows a shrewd move...............but lets face it he''s never coming here. It frustrates me so much that because we are not winning it must be the managers fault. Roader for all his faults is still the man for the job and with what he has had to work with has done a good job IMO. There are so many people on this forum that slag the manager and board off but dont actually have any answers to the problems. Unfortuantely I dont have answers either but until I do I wont be calling for the head of our manager and will pray to the footballing gods that someone with some cash buys the club.

An interesting post and I hope you get a response. Can I ask you one question though Porky? Can you tell me any names of Managers the A. Norwich could afford B. Could do any better in the transfer market with zero money to spend. C. That Norwich could attract. I for one cannot think of a manager with lots of experience that could keep Norwich in the top half of the table with 1 transfer window and zero cash. Im interested to know who you think could do this.For all the thing i dont like about roader, there could be worse i.e.Grant

Congragulations Glen and the board

Canaries in bed has hit the nail on the head. Yes my first reaction was "Eh Barnsley??" and im a little concerned we have loaned him to a rival relegation team but lets think about the following points:On top form with top confidence Curo was top goal scorer in this division.We are in a fight so do not have time to play him to get his confidence back up ie: he might not do anything and we are in theory carrying a man.Send him out on loan with a immidiate reacall after 28 daysHe is not gonna get his confidence back within a few games but after a month if he is firing on all cylinders we recall him and get him playing.Now I have thought about it I think its possibley quite a shrewd move by Roader if he''s playing well in a month we get a striker with confidence, if he isnt playing well we get a relegation rival with a cack strike force. Win win.Now leave my little rodent alone, he may well have poor tactical nous but at least he has a friendly approachable side. -
LITA'S GOAL CELEBRATION?
theoneandonlycullum replied to Rudolph Hucker's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I swear down you lot are unreal! Who gives a flying fig if leroy lita plays for leroy lita. All i care about is that we now have back to back wins. Have scored 7 goals in 2 games and are moving in the right direction. If we can extend Lita''s loan then bring it on. Yes i agree to some extent that getting booked for shirt off is a bit daft in certain circumstances but the lads just won us the game! Have you lot never played footy? Even in sunday league when i bang one in on 90 mins i have my shirt off punching the air, corner flag etc because its euphoric and human nature to be delighted. Shake of hands and a polite well done, ha ha ha ha you sound like the black and white football sketch from harry enfield and chums. Utter rubbish.The celebration isnt stupid., The rule is! Pretty soon if the FA have anything to do with it we will have a quiet crowd all being ssshhushhed every 2 mins, watching non contact football with hand shakes, pats on the back and zero passion and excitment. No thank you FA!Rant over! -
Predictions
theoneandonlycullum replied to Green and Yellow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Im glad i didnt make a prediction.What a bloody night!!! As cammy would say "Jeff, its unbelievable!"GET IN THERE!!!! -
[quote user="ridgeman"]I wouldnt mind if we passing the ball about but it seems more like high balls lumped up to Sibierski to me.[/quote]Ridgeman i couldnt have put it better myself. The sooner we get lupoli, hoolagan, bell, stefanovic, otzi, clingan and lita playing week in week out instead of dead ball, marshall lump to sibierskis head, nod on, nobody there the better.

Stupid thread, the board have stated that they have no desire to remain as major shareholders and are looking for either a buyer or further investment. Whats chanting board out gonna achieve?? They want out anyway as they know they cannot compete financially. No point slagging them off, they have taken us as far as they can and i for one thank them for it. Time to move on, yes, but i dont have any remorse. the infastructure of the club is now so much better than under Chase.

Marshall, Rusty and Croft
theoneandonlycullum replied to Mr Magoo's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
After watching the game yesterday i was so pleased with croft, he even delivered a good ball into the box in the second half. IMHO though up until 70 minutes every goal kick from hand or on the ground, every dead ball, free kick etc was aimed at Sibierskis head. It doesnt take a genius for shef united to double up the marking on him and nothing came off. After 70 mins, hoolahoop came on, marshall worked out that kicking to Sibs was not working and then we played on the deck and for the final 20 mins i thought we played a lot better. Im fustrated though that it took us 70 mins to work it out and only about twice in the whole game did we play out from the back. A lot to work on but pleased with the win. -
[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"][quote user="Smudger"] His managerial career/reputation will be in tatters... and all because he is a prat who dare not question his foolish employers!!! [/quote] Smudger posted this to get a reaction, I don''t think he actually believes it, he wanted a reaction and you gave him it. Well done Smudge. [/quote] I will rub smudger in nettles. Then he will get a reaction!

IS ANY BODY REALLY HAPPY?????
theoneandonlycullum replied to city-till-i-die's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote user="JC"]And what happens if we get three of our permanent players injured?? How do we put out a team?? Good point, I cant answer that, but as I have said, on the budget GR has had he has done a terriffic job. The loan signings are players we couldnt hope to sign permenantly therefore to get perms in we would have had to go for inferior players. Personally im pleased. [quote user="theoneandonlycullum"][quote user="city-till-i-die"][quote user="Carrow Roeder"]Koroma won''t get played now, Henville won''t get played now.... what''s the problem...[/quote]let them go back to there clubs??? and free up some wages money to get a perm target man in[/quote] And when we get injuries,which we will, then what happens? What''s Glenn to say? Sorry I have no back up as I put all my chickens in 1 misguided basket? Not to mention having competition for places make people play better. Get real, this has been one of the most successful transfer window in recent memory. True most in recent memory have been terrible but with the budget GR has had and the pressure to rebuild quickly i for one salute him. Look at how we played at the weekend. Last season would you have thought that possible? Under Grant would you thought that possible? Thought not. Looking forward to the rest of the season. Top 10 finish please! Over and outOTBC[/quote][/quote] -

Sibierski on loan
theoneandonlycullum replied to Branston Pickle's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Glenn you little tinker you! What an excellent signing. Too all that have slagged this signing off have you actually ever watched Sibierski play? He is not a 20 goals striker granted but if he bagged 8 - 10 goals this season that would be great. Its not how many he scores its what he brings to the game. Trust me, championship defences will be cacking themselves! What a handful! Who do you play up front with him though?Class signing, well done. Oh and to those who cant understand the Grounds transfer, my brother in law is a Boro season ticket holder and he reckons the lad is a solid defender and good signing as backup for us as he can play at cetre back not just full back.Good day so far..................................................... -
[quote user="The Butler"][quote user="theoneandonlycullum"]No the transfer window closes on the 1st (Monday) not because 31st is a sunday but because this is when the European deadline ends and it was seen as an unfair advantage so was extended. In my opinion its not the end of the world is GR doesnt get a big lad in as we have enough potential firepower. It would however give us extra options so I hope that we do bag one! One thing is for sure we should be singing our hearts out for Jamie C on sat to boost his confidence! Unlucky to be stuck on 199. Lets give him a boost and a lift with some top cheering for him all afternoon![/quote] What makes you think JC will be playing on Saturday? After his more recent misses he probably couldn''t find the bench! Never mind he bleeds yellow and green so he doesn''t need to be able to score does he. [/quote]Well, even though i havent stated he will play, just that we should give him a cheer, I understand your frustration but getting on his back wont help him. I say we give him a cheer regardless of if he is playing or on the bench. Give him a boost! Certainly better than pointless Huckerby chants! He''s gone, lets cheer our players now and show we are behind them. Jeez, look at Liverpool tonight. They played awful but everytime we saw the crowd they were on there feet, helping the team over the line. Granted there were a few sighs and moans when another kick went astray, but overall, the crowd played their part to lift the team. Something our fans should be helping our exsisting team with! OTBC!
