Worst Ever Managers
Highland Canary replied to Worthy Nigelton's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Gunn and then Roeder. In Roeder’s case it was not easy to warm to him so I may be being harsh. Notwithstanding the debacle at Luton away last season - when we weren’t happy - we were still in and around the playoffs under Smith. Like Hughton he’s nowhere near as poor as other names on this thread. Smith’s main problem was that he wasn’t Farke. Indeed, I’m sure those that were calling for Farke’s head have had plenty of time to reflect on that opinion. Neither Megson nor Grant were great but others have been worse. Not all all convinced by Wagner but we’ve had worse than him. We’ll finish 8th. All those parachute payments wasted. -
That pesky 20% I suspect. From the South Stand it seemed that most of the 20% must be in the Barclay. Has the ground ever been so quiet after a 4-2 win? Maybe the management team at the club should ponder that paradox.

It was the lowest in the championship yesterday. There’s just resignation in the away crowd and most are simply waiting for Wagner’s removal. But our away following has been in decline since Lambert - many never recovered from the Hughton era. It will take a Lambertesc revitalisation of the fanbase to close the disconnect with the football club.

Our November schedule
Highland Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
We won’t win any more games with Wagner so our points total is dependent on managerial change. So zero points with no change. -
Steady the ship…..warnock
Highland Canary replied to Bradwell canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Warnock will go to QPR and move them up the table. This creates a problem in that it is unclear if there is a third worse team than us in tier two. -
Just like at FCR against Boro I don’t anyone in the crowd thought we’d win. There was resignation in the crowd today at Sunderland and a few Wagner out chants at the end. Can’t see us winning another game under his leadership - the players look completely lost. Change is needed and preferably before the inevitable December 16 humiliation. At least the bottom three look particularly weak and, hopefully, the new manager bounce should see us retain our tier two status.

Simple Reason(s) Why Wagner WON'T Go
Highland Canary replied to JB's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
No energy in the team. No energy in the crowd. Noone expected us to win. The outcome inevitable. We won’t win another game with Wagner in charge. Let’s hope the change is made before we slip into a relegation scrap. -
Relegation form and to think we’ll have to wait until post December 16 before the inevitable change is made. What a fiasco.

How long has Wagner got ?

Average Away Followings This Season
Highland Canary replied to Midlands Yellow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Our numbers declined during the Hughton era and even during the good times with Farke haven’t recovered to the Lambert levels. Disappointing to see us languishing quite so low . -
Sargent off to Leeds?
Highland Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
If and until we have an ownership with greater wealth all we can look forward to is the disposal of key assets regardless of whether such a disposal helps a key competitor. You couldn’t make it up. -
Sargent off to Leeds?
Highland Canary replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
A firesale of any of our marketable assets seems an established management strategy. -
City imploding ……
Highland Canary replied to Heading South's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
FCR with thousands booing the players off at halftime losing to Hull. The sad reality of the disconnect between the club and the majority of the fan base. -
Farke to Leeds
Highland Canary replied to Dean Coneys boots's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Managerial genius Farke. Only new investment will break our cycle of failure. -
Leeds nailed on for the title. So disappointing. If only we could get new investment into the club. If we carry on our current rate of decline we’ll finish back in tier three.

I regret calling for Farke's dismissal...
Highland Canary replied to TeemuVanBasten's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Farke was a managerial genius achieving what he did with the assets available to him. Sadly, since his departure much of the recruitment has been poor and it is also difficult to warm to Smith’s approach to the game. A different managerial voice seems unlikely to worsen our current predicament. History tells us, unfortunately, the board will fail to act until it is all too late. Time for the coach and sporting director to move on and for new equity to plug the looming hole in the balance sheet.
