The price of football
keelansgrandad replied to nutty nigel's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
But as far back as I can remember, we have always had money problems. Blankets going round, Turners loans, selling players to avoid administration. Whether we like it or not, and I don't either, we have to pay over the odds for ordinary or poor players. The players and their agents rule and clubs are scared of them and the butterfly effect works and we have to follow. I think we can all appreciate it isn't easy to balance the books under those circumstances but at the moment we appear to be going backwards in everything. I was chatting to a chap this morning walking the dogs and said poor old Norfolk seems tough for sport at the moment. Us, Kings Lynn at the bottom and poor old North Walsham haven't got one single point in the rugby. Things are cyclical of course and that will never change. -
That is Starmer's fault because of his reluctance to make a decision so he thought he would say nothing. Idiot. And we want him as PM? He is a Kipper. Two faced and no backbone. One of the councillors who resigned had it right. He isn't listening to the members, he is listening to the poll numbers.

That may be true but that isn't what the vicious cow meant, especially with her reference to incomers.

I'm pleased for you Jools. Tommy and you can discuss the things you have in common.

Is he still here?
keelansgrandad replied to Dean Coneys boots's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Basically its all a crock of siht about what Knapper wants or would do. He isn't here yet. If Wagner is gone and Adams put in temporary charge then he can then sort it. Do we really want to give Wagner yet another game? Yes we want to win at Cardiff but I feel that would just paper over the knowledge that he isn't the right coach for us. -
Warner was good in patches and did look OK with the ball at his feet and confident. But some of his defending was dreadful as well. Whether that was influenced by Duffy is possible.

I thought we were told he will be here until March?

A new sporting director but Webber still hanging around seeing out his notice. Without influence?

I am not going to raise a rallying cry for the supporters to lay siege to Carrow Road or Colney but apathy is an apt description. The mantra has been around for a long time that we are the right model for football. That we have wonderrful owners who are doing the right things. That we punched above our weight to get to the EPL. And much of that was true at the time. But in the same way as football is ever changing (look how many rule changes and reliance on technology) at the heart of our club, little has changed. While apart from it being the wrong decision to sack Farke, it was cruel the way it was done yet Neil Adams has been given a life membership. Oh Stuart is a lovely bloke I adore him and he can give 12 months notice at 90%. The Untouchables. The board are custodians but clueless about running a football club in 2023. We don't need Mother Theresa running the club. The coaches and the players are there to perform. Of course we can't always win. But we can try. We can try to adapt. And if they don't then they are sacked or dropped. And we cry we don't want to be like Watford, we don't want Warnock, we want the Norwich way. Well the Norwich way worked once but is past its sell by date. We need a new way.

I think Chris Sutton was right. Its Norwich City that is in trouble. It isn't just Wagner or Gibson or Idah or Webber. Its the whole club.

Kenny McLean is a liability
keelansgrandad replied to Rich T The Biscuit's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I am a Kenny admirer. I think he is steady and is never allowed to play his own game since Skipp left because he is expected to do so much and varying roles. Of course he is coming to the end. We need improving, not more of the same. But I will still defend him over some if not most of the rest. -
Ricardo's report v Blackburn
keelansgrandad replied to ricardo's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Watching it on the TV, the commentators tried to make out we had improved because of the substitutions and in one respect they were close. But in reality the ten men had nothing to play for except a clean sheet. So while Placheta looked enterprising and we had many shots at goal and on target, apart from a few crosses, nothing happened in the area. I watched Hwang cl9sel and he very rarely got into the six yard box. -
A SELF FLOUNDERING CLUB.....
keelansgrandad replied to Mello Yello's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
But you are clinging on to history as well. We have just had two awful seasons and this looks destined as well. You are only as good as your last match in reality. But the debt is worrying. -
Mark Attanasio

He came in for more shares on the carnage of the end of last season and smelled another debt to buy up. -
Back 5 no longer fashionable?
keelansgrandad replied to hogesar's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
If Wagner is still here he might put Sara in the back 5. -
Brigette on canary call a legend!
keelansgrandad replied to Indy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Thanks for that because we cannot get Radio Norfolk in Cornwall. Agree with everything. Spot on and not a rant really just evidence of what is wrong. Delia is in danger of finishing with anger towards her rather than a legacy of being a legend. -

Did Blackburn not have a player sent off? The bloke is delusional like many of the posters who are refusing to see the club has lost it throughout. Lost money, have to pay back loans, sold our best players and have lost those in the crowd that matter. Head coach David Wagner spoke to Canaries TV following the club's 3-1 defeat against Blackburn Rovers at Carrow Road. Norwich found themselves 2-0 down early on and Wagner says they never recovered from the early concessions. "In the first minutes, we came into the game quite well. We had some good turnovers high up and didn't execute the opportunities," he said. "Afterwards, when we didn't get our press right, we got punished and were 2-0 down. They've done it better, we had high turnovers without clear-cut chances out of those situations. " "The second half started very poorly with the goal we conceded, another from a transition after a set-piece which we had. We have to solve this issue much better, take responsibility and be switched on which we were not." However, the head coach praised the effort of the squad and their willingness to fight to the end of the fixture despite being three behind. Numerours chances arrived but without success until injury time when Gabriel Sara scored a consolation. "I can't complain about the effort, again the players tried until the final seconds. They really wanted to change things but obviously it was not good enough because it's a defeat. I'm the manager and I have to take responsibility for it," Wagner added. "The players tried. We were not clinical today, we created enough opportunities to score more than only one goal. It's a horrible run that we are on, it hurts for everyone. "After the red card and the substitutions, we attacked quite well, we made opportunities. Apart from the last 10 minutes, we played an overload well without being clinical in those situations, we had to score earlier to get more belief, more energy. The longer it took, the more difficult."

It’s not all Wagner, you can’t motivate 30 year olds
keelansgrandad replied to Indy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Well I didn't see any motivation at all. Nunez is how old? Sara how old? It looked like they had hsd a meeting and said lets just turn up and that will get rid of Wagner. -
Was Webber there today ?

If somebody tries to tell me we are a well run club I will scream and you will hear me from Cornwall.
