    glory hunting associated with supporting Norwich City... I never thought i''d see the day..............

    Is that a good reason to keep an failing manager?
  3. STAN
    I would say your response says it all. If you were convinced Neil is the man for the job you wouldn''t need to pose the question.

    [quote user="dibbler"]Ok, how do you feel going into next season with Alex Neil at the helm? Totally underwhelming before a ball is kicked.[/quote] Can''t disagree with that

    Had Lambert not of jumped ship theirs every chance he would''ve ended up joining the ''no'' list. The Ferguson/Wenger style manager is all but dead. Very few managers are long term successes these days but many seem capable of delivering short term. You could argue Roeder (it pains me to say) and Hughton were short term successes. Roedent joined the club when we were bottom of league and four points adrift of safety. Hughton guided us to our highest placed finish in the PL and left us with a very good squad. IMO Neil probably should''ve joined the short term success list and been sacked whilst we were still in the PL. Delia seems intent on breaking the mould. Personally I''m not sure it will work. I''m also not entirely sure I make sense, but one thing is for sure.. Alex Neil didn''t deliver what was required this season.

    a1canary Neither Hughton or Karanka have failed in their current jobs. If anything they''ve completely transformed their clubs. Compare that to our very own Alex Neil. Has he completely failed this season? Yes. I fail to see how that point is valid. As for feeling underwhelmed at previous managerial appointments, Hughton was the unanimous choice amongst fans. Hardly underwhelming for most. Perhaps we should give Owen Coyle a call? He managed to get Burnley promoted back in 08. As you said "good mangers don''t become bad managers". I mean it''s completely "absurd" to take into account his recent failings.

    I fail to see how you can compare Hughton/Karanka to our current predicament under Alex Neil. We''ve just been relegated from the Premier League, we''ve entrusted him with a relatively large budget for our current level, and we''ve kept hold of our "best" players in the summer. In the summer most fans seemed united in the fact that Alex Neil was a proven Championship manager, and believed that he was the man to gain promotion back to the promised land. We haven''t gained promotion, and this season has been nothing short of a failure. Some fans seem to have to short memories, if we''re not careful we''ll back to the days of Delia having to break her jam jar to sign players like Carl Robinson for 40k. As a modern day football club Norwich City is probably in the best shape it has ever been, within a year it could all easily become a fond memory. I also fail to see what Neil has shown to warrant another a shot at it? Do you honestly believe he will get us promoted next season? If he doesn''t get us promoted will you view it as a failure? Or will we just give him another year to learn his trade at our expense?

    a good grasp of the realities of modern football... Nephew Tom for manager? Or perhaps he''s Alex Neil''s heavy artillery...

    "CITY are delighted to announce a new eight-year deal with Errea which will see the Italian sports manufacturing experts producing the Canaries’ kits until 2024"

    LDC, you sound like one of those whiny social media quotes... "Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed" It''s the expectation that ruins it? Expectation is a key part in making football the great game that it is.

    I''ve certainly seen us sign worse strikers in recent years... David Mooney, Chris Brown, Strihavka, John Hartson, Carl Cort, Sibierski, Peter Thorne, Lupoli, Goran Maric, Wilbraham, Becchio, Oli Johnson, Elmander, Alan Lee, RVW? It seems some people love to hate Lafferty, or even just the modern day footballer in general. You can''t put the blame on players for the money they earn. Alex Neil has told us on a several occasions he couldn''t let Lafferty leave until we signed another striker... If you want to discuss money grabbing bast*rds I suggest looking at Micheal Turner or Tony Andreu.

    I can only tell you what was tweeted live from the AGM Paddy Davitt @paddyjdavitt 2nd question re: second director who earned a fee of £90k pa in this financial period, over and above David McNally #ncfc Paddy Davitt @paddyjdavitt Michael Wynn Jones confirmed the paymt was to Ed Balls for acting CEO work following McNally''s departure #ncfc
  15. STAN
    "it emerged at the club’s November AGM that Balls was paid £90,000 for helping to run the club in the summer after former chief executive David McNally left"
  16. STAN
    Disco Balls. Nice idea.

    Ed Balls statue outside the Galway Roast Stand? Or even a rotating Ed Balls statue, the first rotating Ed Balls statue in the world?
  18. STAN
    It seems Balls was paid 90k to broker Alex Neil''s £2million bonus for getting sacked. You have to question why after relegation Neil''s contract was an urgent priority? And why did Balls, a man with no footballing background get handed the responsibility? Wed 27th July: Meanwhile, until Jez formally takes up his duties with us, Steve Stone will continue as Interim Chief Executive. The Board would like to place on record our sincere gratitude for the excellent job Steve has done leading the club through this period of transition. – ED BALLS, NORWICH CITY CHAIRMAN Such an excellent job I thought i''d step in and pocket 90k. Thanks Delia.

    New song Robbie Williams - Angels We sit and wait Does Delia contemplate our fate... And does she know The places where we go When we''re in League 1 or below... ''Cause I have been told That we''ll forever go unsold... So when i''m lying in my bed Just staring at my shed And I feel Carrow Road is dead.... du du du du.... I''ll support Gorleston insteaddddddd.....

    IMO If we lose to Brentford and Derby Neil will be gone irrelevant of the attendance or how you interpreted Poxey''s interview. You can laugh your arse of all you want but if Carrow Road really turns it''ll happen. but If we beat Brentford then who knows...
  23. STAN
    If things turn nasty at Carrow Road he''ll be gone. Things have been rather muted thus far...
  24. STAN
    Ah yeah, not using that season ticket i''ve already paid them for.. that''ll show em
