    Because I am one of those who would prefer the likes of Carlos Cuesta to be in charge of NCFC's future rather than David Wagner, baggage and all, I qualify for such insults in your book. Quite a few others on here would as well, then?

    Neither is it "convenient" when these rumours date back to February and in line with the appointment of the young Ben Knapper:

    Neither is it "one dimensional" either, when it is certainly more forward-looking and innovative than retaining the status quo, with all its ups and downs.

    I particularly like the last paragraph of that article. Do you?

    It's the same kinda analogy of those who are desperate for SVH to play in my mind. 

    We haven't seen anything aside from YouTube clips of his play and we already have better options, it seems.

    Did get the feeling he's to be sold.

     

    Which does rather screw us over in the long run as I do feel that both Sargent and Hugejdonk won't be here next season if we don't go up

    In the case of Sargent going we would get a fairly hefty whack for him. So we could likely buy a couple of decent players, including a CF. 

    We often seem to unearth gems so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens

    Idah scored 7 goals for us and Hwang 2, I think? So it was definitely Idah who was intended to be our back up striker and was playing pretty well I thought. His style of play fits Wagner's much better than the other two. 

    As we've all said, bit of a weird one to let Idah go but who is gonna stand in the way of a young irish lad who has interest from Celtic? Surely a dream move for him.

    Despite this recent run, the turnaround and the support of the players (nothing particularly unusual there) I want him gone. Preferably on a high, as I like the man.

    There have been enough ups and downs, bad runs (the end of last season, along with this mid-season's collapse) curious selections and substitutions and tactics that I, for one, will never be entirely convinced of his tactical credentials.

    Memories are short, but surely not short enough to forget the derision the man received on this forum at virtually his every move and decision during that recent bad run? It was intense, and apparently the atmosphere at Carrow Road reflected this.

    A complete clean out is much needed. New owner (hopefully), new Director of Football and a new manager.

    So much has been good about the last five years, the training ground, the youth turnout, the successes on the field of play, the level of support. 

    Let's build upon this with a new, young, innovative beginning.

    Is a sporting director and director of football not the same thing?! 

    I understand your reasoning but let's just think about it for a minute. We are currently top of the form charts (or thereabouts) since Jan 12 and that is also down to Wagner. So I think it would be more fair to judge him on what's happened recently than in that poor run of form when we were missing key players. 

    If we get promoted are you saying we should get rid? I actually think that would be counter productive.

    Why is it a click bait post? It’s a simple question. 
     

    If you don’t understand that that’s your problem. 
     

    As for best team, I’m sure many disagree, I think Leeds are better, what you seem to forget is they were on a poor run and we went a goal up, we should have kicked on but our manager went defensive yet again! 
     

     

    Leeds this, Leeds that.... Farke ain't gonna 5hag you, mate! 😂

    Don't really understand all the "we're going to sell everyone and everything is terrible" vibes.

    We've been beaten today by a team who were expected to walk this league, and on the back of a few poor results for them. They just came out and things clicked against us today. It happens. Any other time and people would have been expecting us to lose this one. 

    The point is, play offs still very much on and we could yet get out of this league and keep our best players.

    EFL player of the week to watch Walsall's Emmanuel Adegboyega, on loan 

    This reads like you think he's Walsall's player and want us to get him on loan 🤣

    He's one I'm excited about, as is Myles who I hope gets a loan or gets into the first team soon. 

    If we don't go up we're going to struggle to keep hold of a number of players. Sara, Sargent, Gunn and Rowe. There will be interest. Hopefully we can keep hold of two or three of them but it's going to be tough.

    Luckily, we have some interesting talent coming through the academy, who I do feel we'll see more of if we stay in the Champs.

    It does rather highlight the financial disparity between the leagues.

    Doesn't stop me wanting us to reach the Prem but the difference in wealth is so ridiculously vast that it doesn't lend itself to anything like an even field. It's frustrating. Although money doesn't always guarantee success it often helps give you a shove in the right direction. 

    We are often told we're the money men in this league but that seems stupid to me given our owner's rather small amounts of wealth compared to others.

    I don't really know what the terms that have been put to Premier teams are so it would be interesting to find out more about that.

    Absolutely critical he stays fit for us to have any chance of promotion. Assume if we don’t go up this is his last season with us unfortunately, going to enjoy the ride, he’s a fantastic player.

    We have a ready made replacement for him if that does happen, but he is at Celtic 🥴

    I don't even have a black bin anymore! One of the wheels was slightly broken and I'm quite sure it was just taken away by the bin men without any kind of notice. 

    The council wants me to pay for a new one and I've refused that too! Wasn't my decision for it to go missing so off to the neighbours bins I go 😂

    Was watching it at a friend's house and had popped outside for a ciggie at halftime. 

    All of a sudden, the lads in the house are like "come here! You've got to see this!" And rewound the live footage so we could watch. 

    I thought it was hilarious tbh. 

    The result wasn't, though 😂

    I sense SVH is a replacement for Sarge who will be off in the summer - which is gutting as he is my favourite and we immediately drop from being a challenger to a relegation team without him. His impact this season cannot be overstated - club should offer him all they can to keep him another year 

    Come on mate it's a bit premature for all that! 

    Yes, he will definitely get noticed by Prem teams but if we can keep going the way we are, we could get back to that "promised land"... And that might mean we keep our best players. 

    It's funny how he went from not being able to hit a barn door to a complete number 9. Almost like training and coaching works eh?! 

    I guess he always had that in him. The importance of him to us this season cannot be understated.

    Nunez has great ability to pick out a long pass and with him sitting deeper he is able to find more time to do just that. 

    He can also run, seemingly, for absolutely ever so I don't think it's a bad position for him. Maybe that physicality next to him would help but I think he gets a run of games now 👍
