Mullet 293 Posted August 23, 2020 If we can play with the same cocky confidence we had last time in the championship and Buendia, Pukki and Cantwell stay I think we could be in for a fun season. Pukki knows where the net is he just needs a supply of chances. I also really like Farke he's honest and genuine and I probably like him more than Mike Walker who was one of our best. If the lads play to their potential it's going to be a fun ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,194 Posted August 23, 2020 It will be no different at all off the pitch unless we get external investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Fred 526 Posted August 23, 2020 There is absolutely no reason to be optimistic same weak squad as last season added by a few journey men and untested youngsters mid table at best 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Differs from what Webber and Farke have suggested then, which is that if we were to get promoted again now, we'd be in a much more able financial position. I'm sure the ethos would be the same though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,402 Posted August 23, 2020 36 minutes ago, Making Plans said: Really? Probably depends on what he means by approach. Are we suddenly going to spend loads of money? no we arent. The club would be in a far better position than they were last season though. We'd automatically have an extra £30m(?) to spend as we wouldn't be paying off a training ground bond. Our younger players will have had another year of experience under their belts and will hopefully be better players meaning we wouldn't actually need as many new players to make a fist of it. The profile of player we've been signing/approaching this summer says to me that they are learning from mistakes. We're signing physicality and pace, if we get Hugil or a player like him up top we have a definite plan b too, something we've lacked for Farke's entire 3 seasons.

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted August 23, 2020 Big test for Farke Got us up playing great football Took us down breaking most poor result records on the way ( not helped by lack of investment and signings ) Which will it be this season ? Lambert is a great for me , Farke could be but i will wait until end of season if he gets us up Again then better than Lambert for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although he did get them relegated so that's a bonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted August 23, 2020 Nah, Lambert will always be remembered as a "great", also ruthless, ambitious, prepared to threaten to leave us to advance his own ambitious, and then ultimately did leave, and then fail / fall. However you can't argue with those three seasons of fantastic results. I know it's a "what if" but what if he'd been allowed to sign Benteke for us and not Villa? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddycanary 538 Posted August 23, 2020 It's hard to ignore the way Lambert left & what went on in the Carrow in the derby, but those three amazing years can never be taken away and will linger longer in the memory. Good times! If the measure of a management team is comparing the state of the club from when they come in to when they move on, then PL is right up there with our best ever managers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
