Ruddy and Bennett...
iron_stan replied to staffordshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
thats probably worth somewhere between 6 to 8 million a year in wages disappointed to see ruddy and bennett go, would rather see martin and mcgovern shipped out -
so he has wahey

we should stump up for manga or caulker if we want decent championship centre backsor hause or iorfa from wolves

hes not really achieved anythingwe have players that have won things of more note than himhe doesnt have enough of a reputation to attract quality playershes not got ANY English league experiencehe will probably think keeping lafferty and mcgovern is a good idea absolute joke appointment

iron_stan replied to Syteanric's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote user="Jamie Witherspoon"]Doesn''t need the final say if he picks the team though. It''s a good example of checks and balances. The DoF is not going to buy players if the Head Coach isn''t going to use them. I think this is a positive move and given our recruitment recently, we need to change it up. Ricky, 8.5m? Hooper 5m Naismith 8.5m? Pritchard 8m Klose 12m? None of our big signings have yet provided the value we might have expected.[/quote] the funniest thing about this statement is you seem to think we overpaid for them AND that they are big signings, but in the reality of modern football those prices are nothing, absolute drops in the ocean you get what you pay for and ultimately all of those players are solid average players, sadly norwich are operating around 8 years behind everyone else when it comes to modern football. Look at what was paid for banmford and jordan ibe, and their rubbish as well!!! but thats the market!! if you dont have the cash youre not in the game. Generally youre looking at 15 million + for an average lower half premier league player nowadays, not even including wages. comically enough norwich dont even sell at inflated market prices let alone pay them and thats the problem with having an owner with no real money to invest- 20 replies

a manager should have total control
iron_stan replied to iron_stan's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
“If the coach has no control, he will not last,” Ferguson said. “You have to achieve a position of comprehensive control. Players must recognise that as the manager you have the status to control events. Before I came to United, I told myself I wasn’t going to allow anyone to be stronger than I was."- Alex "38 trophies in 26 years " Ferguson too many chefs spoil the broth -
top to bottomhaving a sporting director above a coach will only lead to a mess, this has got EPIC FAIL written all overa coach can only work with what the director gives himits never really worked, if you look at the three most successful clubs in this country for the last 30 years none of their managers let someone else make calls on their behalf, fergie, wenger and mourinho run their clubs, no one second guesses them poor poor decision yet again sack the board

Get Graham Alexander in!
iron_stan replied to Michael Bates's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
id go with alexander at least hes got plenty of experience of league 1 when we get relegated next season -
so im guessing it will be someone like mark robins, or one of the other old boyswhich would be suicide (but also better than hodgson) the board are dopey sentimental fools and consistently make underwhelming and ultimately cheap choices and theyve done nothing but repeat their mistakes over and over so why do people think it will be any different this time ??

[quote user="bristolcanary"]We don''t want an international class manager at little old nodge do we?[/quote]just because he had the job doesnt make him "international class" he was FAR from class

will be interesting to see what the compensation is because if it would have been the same why not dump it when clearly wasnt working in december?? the blame for the current position really lies with the witch and her cronies/family
