lake district canary 4,531 Posted December 29, 2016 I''m not religious as such, but I do have faith that things will often come right if you give them a chance to. With football that is a difficult stance to take as the pressures are often too great from fans/media/ownerss'' expectations etc etc. My faith in Hughton (which has some credence given what he is doing now) and my faith in Alex Neil are there because I know that fundamentally they are good managers, but were/are struggling under the weight of expectation at Norwich. I still don''t think there is someone out there who will necessarily do a better job in the short term, so at the moment, I see no point in getting rid of AN....but given the poor results, he has imo two more games to get it right and show there can be a revival. What I wish is that the fans give him that chance and not undermine him at games - which as I have said on the other thread, only encourages the opposition. It''s up to the players too of course to show up for the next two games and getting that winning mentality back. I still feel positive about things, I just wish I could get others to feel positive too, despite all the defeats/mistakes and poor defending they have seen. The world hasn''t ended, the season is long and there is all to play for - even with this manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted December 29, 2016 Sour grapes by the pinkun methinks. The questions asked by the NCFC TV reporter were the right questions and the bland replies were quite predictable, so a fuss - and added hype - for no good reason.

Indy 3,297 Posted December 29, 2016 There is a good reason to have an independent interview LDC, that''s to see reactions to awkward questions, having a script and filming it doesn''t cut the mustard with most fans.I can accept that there was a message sent out by the club to its customers, but it''s a very fabricated response, one which reinforced the BOD stance. Which is their right it''s their club to run the way they deem fit.I suspect had Archant got an interview it too would have been tailored to City answers anyway.

Capt. Pants 4,226 Posted December 29, 2016 Or Moxey knew damn well what the reaction would be. AN is being hung out to dry and Moxey''s put out the washing line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted December 29, 2016 The EDP needs to watch it. What Moxey said was: ''we don''t believe in just following the norm in football by replacing our manager to solve an immediate problem.''That cannot, as it has been, be turned into a direct-quote headline:''We don''t believe in dismissing the manager'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
