  1. When Webber arrived he talked a lot about how Norwich teams of the past lacked a clear identity, in terms of style of play, or brand of football I think he called it.

    So now that we have a clear brand of football – slow, ponderous, possession based and so far not that successful, at what point will he rebrand?

    Perhaps a Sporting Director is different to a Director of Football but I always thought the latter had a direct influence on the style of play and was their to make sure a footballing philosophy was embedded at every level throughout the club. It seems though that Farke is solely responsible for our brand of football and any change to that brand would mean him leaving.

    Which begs the question why has Webber appointed Farke and allowed him to persist with a possession based style which doesn''t work in the Championship. Surely Webber knows the english league well enough to know what type of teams get out of the Championship. Unless you have the kind of cash Wolves had it tends to be teams like Cardiff that have a great work ethic, are athletic and powerful and play a direct game that focuses on getting the ball into the box at every opportunity.

    I guess the problem with Cardiff''s brand of football is that it doesn''t work in the premier league and they will probably be relegated as a result. So it''s catch 22 - play like Cardiff, get promoted and then relegated or prepare for premier league football but never get out of the championship.

  2. There was no sarcasm in my OP. Your assumptions are all that’s negative. I genuinely think it’s a great event and the timing is very good for PR. End of a sticky season with high profile departures, this is an ideal end of season distraction. All the press is about this game rather than picking through the bones of a mediocre season. The silly season will kick in soon enough but thank god we have the World Cup first. Oh and they are a bunch of middle aged men, that’s just fact. They are of course great players of the past, well most of them!
