Yellow Green Army 237 Posted September 26, 2021 Yes, not the greatest start to the season but really is it that bad. Bad enough to want Farke pushed out the door. Just remember what this man and his team have done for the club and where we are now compared to 4 years ago. I still have faith in the team, the project and more importantly Daniel Farke. We will come good and the results will follow. A small club down the road recently pushed a certain Mick McCarthy out of the door, look how that’s ended. I don’t want that happening to my club. Farke must be given time and deserves time to turn this around. Everybody needs to get behind him and the team. OTBC. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,674 Posted September 26, 2021 He certainly deserves time, agreed. But the performances need to inspire confidence in both players and fans sooner rather than later. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chris bakewell 2 Posted September 26, 2021 I Think everyone remembers what the manger has achieved and done that's what makes it hard to dislike him despite his awful premier league record everyone wants him to turn things round but can he? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tea total 79 Posted September 26, 2021 As I write this post Arsenal are 3-0 up. Arteta was favourite for the sack a couple of weeks ago (we did help him keep his job!!!) and now could become a hero. The Arsenal fans are loving it! Something has now clicked for them. That's how quick it changes in football! There are fine margins in elite sport and we (as Norwich fans) have been this position far too many times by calling for Farke and Webber to go and each time they've come up with the answers and then all fans are back on board again! Give Farke more time ffs. At the very very least he deserves it! A couple of wins and everything will all of a sudden be fine although there's hard work to be done by all at NCFC. As the original poster says 'be careful what you wish for'. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Fred 526 Posted September 26, 2021 Every manager has his day and Farke has had his i wish he can go out with dignity but it’s going to get bloody I am afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tea total 79 Posted September 26, 2021 It will do if we all think short term!!! 6 games...Sky, BBC, VAR, Pundits and The Premier league itself (if you like) all against. We knew it was going to be like that so the last thing we need is our own fans going against us aswell! It's about opinions and I respect that but ffs there's enough evidence from past years to say that there's time to turn things around. Whether you like it or not we are Norwich and we don't have the money. The Leicester success story was nothing short of a miracle so don't quote that one. Portsmouth, Sunderland and others spring to mind. Do wealthy billionaires really care about their clubs?(Leicester apart) I would suggest not as it's been proven. As some of us say...Be very very careful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Rider 551 Posted September 26, 2021 I do not feel he should go and yes, it is too early. However, yet we again need a plan B. Whilst he was everyone's cup of tea, Jordan Hugill would have relished the clattered a few of those yesterday and probably upset enough for us to get a foot hold in the game. We could certainly have done with him for our corners, or to win a few headers, a few 50/50s etc etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's easy to just go by defeats on paper but whether we agree or not the lack of time the players have had to gel has to come into it. If we are getting marooned at the bottom of the league then for the good of the club it'll be sooner rather than later.

Virtual reality 707 Posted September 26, 2021 What a strange thread. No one is wishing for this, everyone is desperate for him to turn this around. The reality is though that no manager can survive a losing streak the like of which he is a long way down now. If this run extends to 9 or 10 straight defeats then he will be gone.

East Rider 551 Posted September 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Unhinged Canary said: If Jordan Hugil is the answer, then all hope truly is gone..... He most certainly is not the answer for NCFC. But what he represents is an option. A big bruising, no nonsense, battling, heads up, in your face, experienced, battle hardened, non fancy dan, tud thumpnig, brave, non shirking, hardworking, scrapper fighting alternative in our ranks when we need to hold it up and force the issue against teams bullying us. 'Hope' is actually wandering aimlessly over the hill with toilet paper hanging from his trousers and someone needs to catch him soon. Unless we stand up and face the teams to come with a bit more steel to brace our weak spine, fight for the ball in each box soon then the likes of JH and his style will be required. He would have given the two Liverpool CDs something to think about the other night, rather than the decision on who's turn it was to pick the pocket of which ever city player wandered towards them. That he is not a fashionable player is understandable. However we, are not a fashionable team and being embarrassed each week is becoming tediously fashionable.

If we sack him will we go down and never return again?, or will we become a sustained club in the league?. It’s a huge gamble, look at Arsenal when Wenger left, I bet many Arsenal fans would rather have top 4 every year now instead of mid table obscurity. This relates very much to your Mick McCarthy example. Farke deserves time, not a rush-panic-button-sacking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
