"Giving it a go" in the Prem

[Derby Canary 3]

"Giving it a go" was of course always the right strategy. The problem was we did not ''give it a go'' at the right time by preparing ourselves day one.

Our problem at the time was also that the people giving it a go board/management were not qualified/have the nous/experience to make the right decisions and the inevitable mistakes ensued.

We never learn and the same mistakes/situations continue!

Well, that''s a non sequitur if ever I saw one 🙄🙄🙄

[Jim Smith 2,436]

We "gave it a go" too late, had we done the right work in the transfer market in the summer we would not have needed to give it such a go in January to our cost now.

But more than anything, what has hindered this club in recent years have been the decisions (or lack of decisions) made over managers. We didn;t sack Hughton early enough to make a difference, we then sacked him too late, we tried to stay up in the prem with a rooky in Neil, we then didn;t sack Neil early enough last season and didn;t appoint a successor quickly enough when we did and finally we have entrusted our fate in a novice manager with no experience of the championship at a time in the club;s history where we do not really have the time for him to learn on the job.

Totally agree Jim!

Just so you can understand STFU. Put in simple terms and more or less as Jim Smith has said:

We did not recruit (players) at all in Summer post promotion

We realised our predicament in the following Jan and panicked ie ''gave it a go'' but wasted money recruiting the wrong individuals

As we have said (repeatedly) our probs totally lie with this board and their selection of individuals to run the show

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

2015/16 preseason and recruitment was a complete farce. We didn’t go into the season prepared (CB/striker etc).

We then panicked in January and threw ridiculous money around at average players such as Naismith, which we’re still suffering from now.

That whole season could have ramifications for us for years.

The words “p issup”, “brewery” and “organise” come to mind.

It’s ok though, Delia is a nice lady who’s a fan. I wonder if the reaction would be different if we had the exact same record, but with say a man who wasn’t a NCFC fan?

It’s not the first time this ineptness has cost us too (remember 04/05?!)

Time for this board to go. They’ve made mistake after mistake.

Oh, goodie, another board bashing thread. [|-)]

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

It''s a forum and people have discussed the topic. Get over it.

Help me here, what would have happened if they had been voted “ out “ ? Who would have come “ in “ ?

LDC sez.....Oh, goodie, another board bashing thread.......

Yeah, let''s just have a forum that any criticism or difference of opinion etc, regarding club, team or its hierarchy is taboo.

Only allow toe the party line forelock tuggin'' fawns, club apologists, flunky fans and sycophantic sheeple supporters a voice.......That''s democracy.......

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

Yep, some on here who only want to discuss NCFC if it doesnt involve criticism of the club and it’s board.

Criticim is fine, we all get it that the board has made mistakes and we discuss it all the time. It is the perpetuating the

board bashing stuff, over and over again that is annoying - it''s becomes less like a discussion board and more like a social media campaign - often started by people of dubious loyalties to NCFC.   We''ve

got the message, you don''t like the board and feel the need to keep on

and on about it,  but you carry on, sorry for intruding on your misery.[Y]

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

It’s not misery you fool.

I’d like to see my club competing at the highest level in the Premier League and think a new dynamism and ambition is needed at board level.

The problem is with you, who cannot accept that not all Norwich fans are happy clapping Delia apologists.

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

It’ll never mean as much to the fans that don’t reguarly go. It’s not been particularly fun watching home games this season that are turgid and lacking excitement and goals. A lot more demoralising than opening the laptop and firing up an illegal stream, before taking to a forum to tell how proper, more loyal fans should act and think.

So if we start scoring goals and play more exciting football, you''ll lay off from saying it''s time for the board to go?  No? Didn''t think so.

[Derby Canary 3]

Purple Canary......We should have questioned his competence when he demonstrated that he was tactically inept (at that level) and had n''t a clue who would be suitable recruits to fill the gaping holes in our squad.

[king canary 8,261]

I''d love to get an inside story on what happened that summer as on paper it was baffling. You don''t often here of teams coming up making a profit on transfer fees in their first window but I think we did in the end.

We went up in fairly clear need of defensive reinforcements and bought...a bunch of midfielders. While also selling one of our best players the season before.

There seemed to be suggestions that our strategy was to aim high and go for some fairly ambitious targets (there was the defender at Napoli whose name escapes me) but there seemed to be a lack of a plan B.

a more ruthless/ambitious club would probably have parted company with him half way through that season and in time for a new manager to have an impact and they certainly would not have rewarded him with an improved contract after relegation.

[Mickdundee 0]

Maybe not but changing the out of depth manager couldn’t have been worse as we got relegated, and are feeling the effects to this day

Compounded by the ridiculous idea of keeping him, seems all a little bit of history repeating
