Mellow Yellow

A Norwich fan responded to a post when Farke was sacked, essentially stating that it was City's Mick McCarthy moment (referring to when MM was sacked by Ipswich; meant to result in an improvement, but resulted in free fall from thereon). I agreed 100% then and I still do. Since we fired Farke we have lost our football identity on the pitch and our connection/empathy with the manager and his style of football. Barring some remarkable recruitment, and a change of footballing philosophy, it seems we will be an average championship side at best, playing average football. Even if we had gone down under Farke (we may not have done) it would have been playing Farkeball, with much admiration of our footballing philosophy, rather than the dross and humiliation we have suffered since he left. Pep said he liked watching City under Farke but there is no way he does now under Smith and Co. I have nothing against them personally, it was the boards mistake recruiting them, but there just does not seem to be any connection at all with the fans. I actually value our owners, I have met Delia and she is a diamond, but I wish she would acknowledge it, learn from it and try to entice Farke back.

From murderous owners, no thank you, we should not do business with them. I hope nobody does and I hope they go down. The Geordies have sold their souls for blood money...

Daniel Farke please.

Oh Gawd, is this post for the same numpties that wanted Farke out?

64 years of age and No. You must be very young or brainwashed into thinking he is one of the worst managers we have had.

huh?

'He spoke very well in his analysis on MOTD2' Really? He sounded kinda simple to me, just stating the obvious, like most of them. The only pundit who has any nous is Neville...now there's a thought!

The 1st 15 minutes against top 6 Bournemouth we were awesome, played them off the park until a sending off...

He's going on a desert island with Pep and Klopp

Lampard, maybe, has good connections.

Please, not Wilder!

Good post mate

will be less if he walks...

🙂

Well said

But who would you have in his place that would realistically take this on?

Not sure about cliques but plenty of cynics

Ah, see it now...what came first the Mellow or the Mello?

What/who is LDC?

Possibly, good reply, thanks

Interesting reply and I empathise with some points, thanks

Huh?

Thanks for there response. I empathise with some of your points - but who would we 'realistically' have in place of Farke who could do a better job? If we do decide to change I like the look of Valerian Ismael but that ship may have sailed to the Baggies.

I state at the offset that I support Farke (and Webber, Delia etc). He has not become a bad manager overnight, in fact I go further and state that he is a great manager, one of the very best we have ever had at Norwich, both in terms of style-of-play and personality. Those that want him out should be careful what they wish for as the 'noise' may just force him to resign or to be sacked and we end up with somebody worse. Confidence is a big deal and we were dealt a blow by the early fixtures, unable to get up and running with the resultant lack of confidence it instills. Also, the premiership seems to result in the insidious, ego-driven, head-turning of certain players (i.e. Buendía, Cantwell) that can affect the whole atmosphere and culture around a club. Instead of heads-down, focusing on learning to be 'better' in order to take on the challenge of the premier league, they become self-serving and simply want 'more'. Alternative examples are model professionals such as Krul, Hanley, Pukki etc who show professionalism even when the chips are down, trying their hardest to put it right. Some of the new guys and the youngsters will inevitably take time to adapt to their team-mates and the rigours of the premiership, but we need to support them even when they struggle. I actually care little about all the so-called bad records that City are breaking; they are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. If anything it presents a focus, a challenge, to prove all the nay-sayers wrong. There are still 84 points to play for and I for one believe we can prove all the doubters wrong and that it might yet be Farke's greatest achievement. And if we fail so-be-it we just go down fighting and go again next season, stronger, better. Come on City!
