Jim Smith 2,290 Posted December 8, 2019 Was apparently what our owners told David Phillips in a chat pre-match today. Second bottom, 5 points from safety. And they are "delighted." Says it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is different ways of wording it through- you can say 'obviously results haven't been what we'd have liked but we're still very happy with the job Farke and Webber are doing.'

hogesar 9,503 Posted December 8, 2019 They were probably talking longer term than just 15 odd games into one season. They were likely referring to the overall scenario. Because that's what they have to do, unlike us fans who can kick off after one game and kick their arses the next, apparently 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who's to say she didn't? We're just relying on a commentator reporting something off the record during a match, where he has just a few seconds to talk and doesn't have time to go into the specifics of what she said. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 3,825 Posted December 8, 2019 I don’t think anyone is kicking off after one bad performance or defeat. I’ve lost count but is it 9 defeats in the last 12 games ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,825 Posted December 8, 2019 It’s not just a defeat . 11 games lost with a goal difference of minus 17. A loss percentage of 68% and can’t beat any of the teams around us. If anyone has been paying to watch Norwich play this season then they have every right to moan or criticise the powers that be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do wonder what people who say this sort of thing expect a forum to be like on days like this. We're bottom of the table, 5 points off safety, worst defensive record in the league, after an entirely predictable defeat to a team we finished above last season. Were you expecting wall to wall 'unlucky lads, not our day at least we tried OTBC!!' posts? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 929 Posted December 8, 2019 14 minutes ago, Mr Angry said: Don't you just love it when the true fans really get behind the club after a defeat? Well we all started off getting behind the Club. But in return for that support, belief and investment, you do expect, even if it is only now again, to get something back. Losing constantly is bad enough for any football supporter but we are not even getting effort or passion. A bit of that wouldn't go amiss from time to time and we are getting very little back at the moment, nothing to cling on to and very little in the way of hope. It is all very well for the owners to try & make us believe that everything is going swimmingly but most of us are not that stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate the fact that every time I watch us on tv the cameras zoom in on Delia Smith all the time, often having a good laugh as we struggle to a defeat. I hate all the constant cooking puns in the papers. But most of all I hate the fact that it appears that we can never again compete in the premier league.

Rivvo 257 Posted December 8, 2019 He actually said they said that and then said ‘off the pitch’ but I guess to quote everything would show balance, luckily no one on here has an agenda. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted December 8, 2019 He said it twice then. He did admittedly say “of course they would like a few more points” but then he said “but they are delighted with how everything is going at Carrow Road.” if he subsequent corrected that then yes fair enough it slightly changes it but I would still argue it shows that premier league survival is not the priority it should be.
