hogesar 9,657 Posted September 29, 2021 @TeemuVanBasten getting angry and calling out fans as happy clappers for not getting angry about something that hasn't happened and, for all intents and purposes according to the same article isn't happening, is peak PinkUn. Backed up by usual suspects liking it because they need an opportunity to bash a decision which would of course be 'Deliars' and we've almost got a full house 😅😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 2,624 Posted September 29, 2021 It's all a bit odd here really isn't it? All of this "Adams is good but I fear he doesn't have the cut-throat approach"... Do we know that Webber does? What even is a "cut-throat approach"? In this day an age, isn't it about buttering up agents to help get their players in? Trying to make players feel wanted and needed and part of the "project"? Sure, there is the sales side of things, but the number 1 complaint every time we have sold someone since Pritchard is that they have gone too cheaply... Including the Murphy's at the time, Maddison, Godfrey and of course, Buendia... The only one nobody complains about is Lewis. Slightly confused... I guess people are applying some odd logic from his time as manager 6 years ago to it all which again, is odd. Good luck to him. He has been nothing but a success with the youth side of things and the loans. The loans make us money as well as get experience for players that are up and coming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted September 29, 2021 I'm a happy clapper and even I'm not entirely sure about this. I honestly don't think Adams has remained at Norwich because he's a favourite at the club (see Hucks). He's a competant guy who probably didn't have the edge to survive as manager but in reality he didn't do awfully here at that. Going by his podcast with the club a while back he's clearly on the ball and on board with what the club are doing so perhaps it isn't a surprise he could be groomed for this role. That being said I didn't fanct Scott as Webber's replacement either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,938 Posted September 29, 2021 1 hour ago, curious yellow said: Omobamidele got into the first team without going on loan. The players that are on loan aren't getting enough game time and as a consequence no loaned out player has made it as a first team regular for 3 years. I'm talking about our loan system and going Omobamidele as an example, last year he was at the same level as Omotoye and behind Martin. All that means is Omobamidele developed that quickly without too much first team action that he became an option. It looks like he was a surprise in that regard. If they're not getting into their loan teams too often, then we know they're not at the level we need. That's often the case when you build on youth. At least we give them a clear chance to do so - up to them to take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think (pretty unfairly) Adams will inevitably seen as a cosy appointment after his ridiculous spell as manager here. However you'd imagine to be given this role he's clearly impressed Webber and has shown himself to be more than capable. If he does end up as Sporting Director he deserves a completely clean slate to show what he can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert choice 24 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Adams being hyped up by the NCFC spin machine supported by the obedient Pinkin journos. Are ticket buying supporters going to be taken in by this smokescreen 'project' as well?

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted September 30, 2021 My take on this is that Webber is off, as stated (but this stock will not be great if we don't turn it round soon) and Adams is the replacement. If that turns out to be the case, I hope he is massively successful in his new role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that turns out to be the case, I hope he is massively successful in his new role. As much as I like Adams, it smacks of a typical Norwich appointment. Webber may want away, but who will want him if we fail again this season? Delia would never sack Webber, especially as she appointed his wife into a role that didn't exist or need to exist at the time. Webber has done a lot of good, but I don't think he is as good as he thinks he is - if he was, he wouldn't be here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

komakino 272 Posted September 30, 2021 It's very clear that Archant's Sport Reporters - and I use that term loosely - have been told to give Norwich City an easy ride as there are some lightweight pieces popping up. Paddy Davitt used to be quite objective, but he's been reigned in. I wouldn't say they've been 'got at' a la Waghorn, but Michael Bailey is much missed, though surely having a better life away from Archant. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you didn't read all of the quite critical articles so far this season then? I think what you mean to say is that they are being objective but not as critical as you want them to be which is entirely different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
