  1. Careful what you wish for, we could end up with Gerry Harrison or Mike Liggins in the hotseat.
  2. This is what you get when you sell your best players and don''t spend any money on getting better replacements. Strong squad my @rse!
  3. [quote user="Phillip J Fry"]All Adams needs to do is switch to a 4-2-3-1. Put Redmond on the left, Bennett on the right, and I reckon our performance will increase dramatically. [/quote]Only the Messiah can save us now.
  4. Not impressed with Grabban. Typical kick and rush game despite Adams'' promises to play the Norwich way.
  5. [quote user="lincoln canary"]Midfield looks very lightweight without Tettey and Howson.[/quote]It looks very lightweight with them in it!
  6. 5-1 to Wolves. Despite 3 years in the Premiership we''re left with a very weak squad and a woefully inexperienced managerial team. Against a side with momentum and a canny, experienced manager we can logically expect a hiding.
  7. It''s probably natural to worry about whether you''ll manage to break into the first team at a big name club, so Fer is probably psyching himself up ahead of his big move. However, you don''t need to decipher tweets to realise that the most valuable assets in our squad are in the process of being sold off to the highest bidder.
  8. Whatever the merits of this, I can see it happening given that we''re a club lurching from one crisis to another and looking to usher our best players out the door. Holt returning might be a way to sweeten the fans once it''s announced that we''re cashing in on Leroy Fer.
  9. It''s a case of tough love, I want Norwich to be successful like they were before Delia took over. If that means not following the crowd, then so be it.
  10. I''m optimistic that Adams will be gone by Christmas. I''m pessimistic that Delia and her drinking buddies will still be here for years to come.

  12. [quote user="Cheap Cheap Canaries"]He can tweet what he likes , Adams has made it crystal clear hes for sale (with his usual but i would like him to stay b/s) then when Fer has gone he will turn his attention to Hooper (very much in his plans but always on the bench). No sign of any quality coming in whatsoever with just a week to the first game , £7 million for Snodgrass , millions in parachute payments and we manage Lafferty , Grabban and Gary O''Neil. No wonder Delia wanted Adams any decent manager would have wanted some money to spend .[/quote]For some odd reason people treat club statements as gospel despite the dubious record of veracity (eg nobody was available to replace Hughton). Most of the time the club are telling fans what they want to hear. In disaster situations such as at present there''s a mixture of self-delusion and suger-coating of the unpalatable.The shift we''re seeing is from "we have relegation wage clauses and don''t have to sell" to "we have to cut our cloth accordingly". The club can count on the ''little old Norwich'' mindset of its brainwashed fanbase to switch to the new reality, and justify the firesale on its behalf.We''ll hence no doubt be seeing Fer leave and the next Andy Hughes (ie Gary O''Neill) arrive to replace him.
  13. [quote user="Jipouille"]hi yellow shirt.where do you see that here is even a loan fee? I am not too sure (what I can tell you though is that our greedy bosses would NEVER pay 2millions for a loan.... especially for a striker who got 1 goal in 27 games)[/quote]You''re ulimately getting RVW for a cut price because of the poor running of our club. This is largely because the Norwich hierarchy is staffed by a former television chef, a supermarket magazine publisher, a poultry producer, an asset stripper, someone from the textiles industry and a comedian. We have employed a former local radio football commentator as manager. Good luck to St Etienne for the coming season.
  14. All these ridiculous statements and meaningless promises are yet another example of the people running the club living in la la land. Should we really trust the judgement of a board that appointed Hughton and stuck with him for so long? We''re witnessing another slow motion car crash courtesy of Delia and her deviant chums, and probably another decade in the wilderness.
  15. If we are to take Adams at his word then it appears that RVW has cracked up under the weight of expectation and fled to the continent. Ironically, this is very similar to what happened to Stephen Fry a few years ago!
  16. I don''t know why people are complaining all of a sudden. He came over to Norwich on an extended holiday about a year ago.
  17. Although most are expecting promotion, I''ve yet to see us attempt to rebuild a weak and unbalanced squad. The mismanagement and years of decline under Smith and Jones have left the club unable to build on any relative bright periods to achieve sustained success. Expect the better players to leave and be replaced by a mixture of youth and battlers/journeymen like Lafferty and O''Neill.We will struggle to achieve the playoffs playing a generic direct game that is mislabelled as passing football, ''the Norwich Way'' or somesuch.

  19. She''s a cute little dumpling isn''t she?[img]http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Sophie+Mckinna+IAAF+World+Youth+Championships+_MLMXfc2SRAl.jpg[/img]
  20. There should be a bit more content for Canary Player subscribers next season, as I hear that the club have hired a former Radio Norfolk football commentator.
  21. [quote user="Id flee to 1p5wich tomorrow..."][quote user="Down in the Chumps"]There doesn''t seem to be much of a strategy for transfers except buy cheap and don''t sell anyone if you don''t need to. Sounds good on paper, but the reality is we''re going to have another firesale and end up with a first team squad full of kids.[/quote] There doesn''t seem to be much of one at Portaloo Rd either does there? It''s just scraping up all the rubbish no one else wants on a free.[/quote]Debt is seldom a sound strategy, but despite their poor financial situation they have opted for an experienced manager with a reasonable record at club and international level. We have appointed a former local radio football commentator who hasn''t managed at a higher level than an under 18s team.
  22. There doesn''t seem to be much of a strategy for transfers except buy cheap and don''t sell anyone if you don''t need to. Sounds good on paper, but the reality is we''re going to have another firesale and end up with a first team squad full of kids.
  23. The plan seems to be to replace experienced professionals with kids if any of our ''top'' players leave. Don''t expect any ambitious signings as long as McNasty has his hands on the purse strings.
