GladAllOver 3 Posted April 23, 2019 Hi guys congrats on your promotion – I have a number of Norwich mates so have been rooting for you throughout the season. Plus any club that helps to keep Horrible Leeds away from the EPL has got to get my vote! Also good to see another proper (non-plastic) football club back and the best of luck for next season (apart from when you play Palace of course!) Btw be interesting to see if your owners learn from the Fulham versus Cardiff approach. Money can buy you a lot…but not always Enjoy!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks! Though our owners have no money so I don’t think the Fulham approach was ever going to be an option! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Thanks buddy - no danger of us going Fulham route. I expect our recruitment will be pretty good but inexpensive - our Director of Football (Webber) is top notch and finds unbelievable value.

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted April 23, 2019 Cheers. Have enjoyed Palace's performances this season, and that Townsend goal of course! Hope for your sake you can keep the squad together - I see a few are attracting covetous glances... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pleased to see more people outside Leeds who really can’t be done with that vile arrogant lot. Apparently every supporter from every club in the Premier League can’t wait for them to come back. LOL. Look forward to seeing you at Selhurst and Carrow next season, cheers for kind words and best of luck from a canary to an eagle 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Gladys And I think some up here will be glad when it is all over - if only that there will be a good deal less nail biting and heart palputations (and hiding behind the sofa). As to the approach I would suggest ours is a more 'holistic' approach that does not necessarily rely upon the supposed talent of the player - more their application and attitude. The later being what has caused so many of our signings to improve so well since they have been here. Not only identifying good prospects but knowing that they have the drive to succeed. Something it appears man Utd are currently suffering the opposite of."Why kill yourself when you can pick up another lucrative contract elsewhere " seems to be their problem. Something Souness said the other day struck a chord. His words were roughly that Ronnie Moran would tell them just as they ran out "just be better than your man, work harder than they do". Sound advice that I had drummed into me way back when playing. Watch City players when they are battling to win the ball back. Watch young Aarons who can go toe to toe physically with the best. The dodgy penalty (Wigan) given against Godfrey was due to him and others throwing themselves in the way of a shot. It is that unity and sense of teamwork that has got us this far and I doubt that will be ripped up by signing a load of over priced 'stars' when we are in the PL.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted April 23, 2019 We're not quite over the line yet, gladallover, but thanks for the sentiments. If as it looks like, we go up, we will be carrying on as we have been, building from within and clever recruitment policy, not spending millions. Daniel Farke is about as cool a customer there is as a manager and he - combined with Sporting director Webber - will give us the best possible chance of doing well.
