So, a dodgy foreign billionaire wants a new toy, takes over NCFC promising us the moon. The club buys players at highly marked up prices, on long contracts with huge salaries... Said dodgy foreign billionaire gets bored / jailed for tax fraud / fed up with supporters of his toy asking for outrageous things like tradition and history and withdraws his finance. Result, club left with outgoings we cannot sustain on our turnover through simple season ticket sales and merchandising.... What happens then? I give you Leeds, Portsmouth, Rangers and (looking in my crystal ball Cardiff and Hull) I''ll keep Delia and MacNally thanks

Sorry Simmo - my response was aimed at the plastic obsessed half-wit, not at you...ologies if it looks like that

My view,will be informed from my seat in the upper Barclay for which I have held a season ticket for nearly ten years, as well as the many away games I attend with my young son. It''s called ''supporting'' old chap...something some numpties on here could do with checking the definition of in a dictionary... Now jog on you imbecile

Ok... But we do have to support Adams and get behind the team... We really really do

OK we get it....you don''t approve,of the appointment. Thanks for the 43 threads with ever increasing vitriol...helps to reinforce your point. Me? Think I''ll wait to see how the season starts and then maybe start to form an opinion based on that rather than blind prejudice...

I have watched Kris Boyd several times this season as a truly awful kilmarnock side did just enough to stay up on the last day of the season (As a Killie and a Norwich fan this has been a LONG season!!!!) He has scored 22 league goals in a tema that creates very few chances and remains the best natural finisher I have ever seen on a football pitch. But he has very little else to his game and won''t do the ''hard work'' expected of a striker in the Championship...and that''s before you analyse the gulf in class between a lower Scottish premier league side and one attempting to regain premiership football But as a simple goal scorer he is phenomenal, and as a free to come off the bench occasionally he would grab more goals than any of our current strikers...

Littleyellowbirdiechap beat me to it...but at least I know that someone out there agrees with me

Fair point...but it''s not like appointing managers is an exact science is it? Manure and SAF last effort makes that much clear. We have no idea who would be most successful, much as we enjoy speculating. We know we got lucky with Lambert, but I wouldn''t want him back here, and not just for the way the tw@t has behaved on his visits to CR since...the sad fact is that it just would be hugely unlikely to be a success second time round. The long and the short of it is that a first time manager may be successful, an experienced manager might not be, or vice versa. There just is no way of knowing. Surely Redknapp with all his experience and tactical experience and man management experience at the very top ought to have taken the most expensively assembled championship squad ever to instant promotion? I haven''t a clue who the best appointment might be, but I do appreciate that it is likely to be a helluva lot harder than some here seem to think...and the wrong move could be disastrous for our club...

Think it''s more clever scheduling on the clubs part than conspiracy. 0-0 draw written all over it.

I see that reasoning up to a point Morty. But the difference between any assistant and the ultimate managers responsibility is huge, and maybe not something that simply can be bridged by doing it for longer? I think it is telling that Mike Phelan still isn''t a manager despite what has to be the best apprenticeship around. Good assistants don''t often make great mangers - I suspect that is because it is more to do with personality and character type than experience.

I hope so! Given the stick. Hughton got, can you imagine the reaction from the fans if either Warnock or Macarthy got the job and made an unpopular sub? I think an appointment like that would not do anything to bring the club back together again; Quite the opposite in fact

I agree with much of what Parma writes. Adams has a lot going for him. What''s I find interesting is the way many people are saying he can''t get the job as he doesn''t have enough experience as a manager, and then suggest that Adams stays as assistant to whoever does get the job! If he jo is I ever going to be a manager (and I understand he wants to be) he either needs to be given this job or leave. NCFC for a lower division managerial role if he can get one. Otherwise he will be in the same position when we eventually sack whoever we appoint!

So many different opinions, glad it''s not my decision to make. It is absolutely crucial to get this one right. And whoever gets it has to start like a train to bring a divided support back together. Steve. Clarke I think for me, but I wouldn''t be averse to giving Neil Adams a chance, as long as we accept how difficult it is to come straight back up and give him a realistic amount of time to rebuild a squad that is his. Least favourite for me would be Mackay (much as I love him but his cardiff teams were dire) or anoy of the ''old guard (Warnock, Mcarthy etc) But for anyone to plaster back over the cracks left in the relationship between fans and club over the past 18 months is going to be one hell of a task.

Apologies Nutty for the prolonged absence from the thread. Tbh I''ve kind of given the whole board a miss recently,- things have been depressing Enough without making them,worse by coming on here to read the infantile nonsense that I knew would be going on. However, in the spirit of optimistic renewal, I offer the Belgian league match between table topping Westerlo (who,really need to win) at home to Geel in mid-table mediocrity. So WESTERLO to beat Geel at home. For NCFC - again the spirit of renewal kind of forces a. Norwich win over the bogey lot...so 2-1 Norwich for me.

[quote user="Le Juge"]Scott Howie was playing local non league for a long time so maybe him?[/quote] Yeah Scott is still in Norwich. I know him a bit - absolute gentleman.

[quote user="Satoshi Nakamoto"]The only measure that really counts is points.Promotion and relegation are not decided on how much you dominated games for, or how well you played, just the number of points (and goal difference as a secondary measure)The performance against Man City, encouraging as it was, brought us one point. I''d have rather lost to City and beaten West Ham, which would have given us three points.So are we improving? In terms of points output, no.As I''ve said elsewhere I don''t think Hughton is a bad manager, but I think he is the wrong manager for Norwich, he seems unable to get the best out of this group of players.[/quote] I agree with this. The other point is that there really isn''t much at all between all 10 bottom half clubs in terms of quality of playing staff in my view. Which means that you absolutely have to maximise the return from the players you have. Unfortunately for CH his team just aren''t doing that. I also don''t quite agree it is just the strikers. We have lost crazy goals to cardiff and west ham in the past fortnight. Not great defending / goalkeeping! And we don''t exactly have a midfield who create absolute open goal tap-ins for the strikers either really do we? I like Hughton and I desperately want it to work out for him - but reluctantly LDC I just don''t think it is.

HP45 My point is that your views were put in a manner that I find unnecessarily aggressive and unpleasant. Unless you have keyboard Tourette''s then surely it is possible to add your opinions in a way that adds to the debate without resorting to hectoring, faux-swearing and sarcasm? In much the same way as I wouldn''t want to sit next to someone like that at CR I don''t really want to converse with them online! Oddly I agree with most of your sentiments - I just don''t see the need for all that rage!

And to answer your question LDC - sadly No, we are not improving as a team, even though we have better players and performances have picked up. You need to score to improve, and our goals for record is simply atrocious. For some reason. CH just can''t get them to gel as a team.

Sorry - that was for Hughton''s P45! All that rage really can''t be good for you!

Are you drunk? Or just 11 years old?

Well if one of Hughton''s failings is that he is too nice then the board would certainly be going to the other extreme. Lennon is singularly charmless, with a persecution complex to rival SAF himself! Much as I dislike how he often conducts himself I find myself completely unsure whether he might be just right for us. I actually think he has overachieved in Europe with a limited Celtic side in recent years...

Good egg Fuzz! Thank you!

[quote user="Fuzzar"]"lots of people go on about Lennon but no one can offer anything as to why he would leave a job that offers a league title, medals and the champions league every season to come and manage a mid table premiership side?" I''ve never gone on about him and he wouldn''t necessarily be my choice. But I imagine he''d leave Celtic for largely the same reasons as Hooper. There''s only so much fun you can have playing Kilmarnock, or whoever, 4 times a year in anticipation of ultimately being routed Champions League.[/quote] Oi!! Leave Killie out of it! Home town of Gary Holt and recent League Cup Winners with one ''Admiral'' Nelson in the side!! Now if you''d said Hearts....

Bayern to comfortably beat SC Freiburg at home this week. Good luck Trent

Of course. All three tickets. Don''t really get people not renewing because of who the manager is or what division we''re in? I want to watch my team play. As someone else on here said, I don''t care who the manager is really - they do all get the sack or move on pretty quickly these days anyway. If I chucked my season in and picked it back up according to management or results I could be changing every couple of months! If someone can''t afford it or doesn''t want to watch footy love any more then that''s absolutely up to them, and good luck to them, but to stop watching the team because you don''t like the manager is just a bit daft to me.
