King Klose

I''m sure there''ll be plenty of anger at the Derby game.

I went to my first Norwich match when I was 6 years old. During that time and now, I have seen all the highs and lows, like we all have, and even during the lows of Championship mediocrity and League 1 etc etc, I never ever doubted my support for this club. This right now however, is THE very first and only time I have doubted whether I can support this "club". It''s just a shambles, no one willing to take any responsibility for the incredible failure. There is no ambition. It is the Smith''s play toy. And we are her customers. I have never felt that like I do now. I just feel so deflated by it all, and like I cannot back and support this regime. I''m not one of those that just call for a change in board just so we can have a "rich foreigner" or anything like that. I know full well the grass isn''t always greener. I just wish on this current board, in a way that DMcN and Bowkett led, could see what everyone else can see. Just please, anyone of any seniority within our club/board or whatever, for the love of this club and city, just do the right thing that every other sane fan can see and give us a chance.

In the words of Starsky, "Do it".

[quote user="sonyc"]I''m amazed that posters have not commented on Dave a Freezer''s article. It shows what has happened and the odds over the last 20 years post Xmas break. We have a 10% chance only of the play offs. The overwhelming odds are for a mid table finish. It chimes with my view of where we are. I think we have to accept this. But at least there is virtually no chance of relegation. The future should be with our younger players. We need to restructure. As for Alex Neil it is an absolute fact that he has failed. One of the things he has said he is most scared of. If we were to sack him now and bring in someone else it would not matter. It''s too late for this season. The board have got it amazingly, staggeringly wrong. Very poor stewardship in my opinion. No-one can predict results but they above almost anyone else are close enough to the operations ( you would expect) to be able to see what was going on, the cultures, the dynamics. Change was needed weeks ago if not months ago. A wasted opportunity. Ricardo still thinks we can make the play offs and I will cling to his usually sound judgement but I have to say that I feel as strongly now as ever we are not going to do it. There is no way we will win the next 3 games and a defeat on Boxing Day against a resurgent Reading ( in terms of their position in previous seasons) must be on the list for most match day bets. What evidence or momentum points to us making the day with a rare away victory?[/quote] Completely agree with this.

Can''t really disagree with much of that.

Cheap, a yes man and if they have "Neil" anywhere in their name, well that''s a bonus.

How could they possibly need anymore strikers after buying every striker on the planet in the summer?

No? As you were...

[quote user="ricardo"]Enjoy your Xmas, we can all boo him at the Derby match if things go tits up.[/quote] The thing is, I can see us getting something at Reading in a weird way. Don''t know why, I just do, and it will prolong the agony because AN just isn''t the answer anymore.

Yep, unfortunately. Just not going to happen.

That is all.

Does anyone really care at the moment?

Let''s hope it''s all been done today regards to the details of AN being sacked, with it being confirmed in the media tomorrow. 🙏

Please and thank you.

I''m not allowed back in after I threw my last one at Bryan Gunn.

To run on to the pitch tomorrow and throw your season ticket? Sign here.

Plays a bit like Surman, all left foot.

I''ve been hearing that for about 5 weeks. We''ll lose, as per, everyone will go mental, the club will go quiet and everything will calm down slightly before the next game. Then everyone will go "if we don''t win he''s gotta gooo". And repeat.

[quote user="VanWink"]Mismanagement at its best unfortunately. Anybody know why be bought him if he''s so cr@p?[/quote] He''s not. It''s the manager who''s cr@p.

[quote user="Keith Scott"]Amazing isn''t it? At Brentford he played 38 league games and looked superb. As did Pritchard the previous season when they reached the play offs. Then they both come to Norwich, get limited game time in a side that has lost 6 on the bounce, and look shadows of their former selves. That should tell you everything you need to know about Alex Neil and his coaching staff.[/quote] 100% this

Derby 6-0 Norwich

Buck always stops with the manager in football. Look at Villa. Defence was dreadful before Bruce, now they are unbeatable. Same as Sunderland pre-Allardyce. Kaboul and Kone looked as much as a pair of clowns as our CBs, but with the right manager and someone they are motivated by, they were a rock at the end of last season. Same with us, if you get the right man in (Allardyce or Rowett IMO) I believe we''ll be a completely different proposition. Players like Timm Klose don''t become bad players overnight (or over the space of months as is our decline).

^ Yep.

Maybe he was getting his Barnsley tickets too?

Manager. Could do with a few changes but I''m sorry, the buck stops with the manager.
