I think you would find a hell of a lot on interest in the job if Herr Farke was relieved of his duties. The 'little Norwich' brigade hate to admit it but away from Norwich, the club is held in high regard by a lot of people in the game.

If Steve Cooper had not taken the Forest job then I'm sure he would have applied. Chris Wilder after his **** head antics at the Battle of Bramall Lane in 2017 has really warmed to us and is often complimentary. I'm sure he would snap it up if offered. I'm also not convinced Lampard would turn it down if we really went in hard for him. That's just three. There would be many others.     

The problem is I'm not sure any of them are better than Farke.

The closest is probably Wilder but his last action was a pitiful relegation with little fight from the top flight.

The 1st 15 minutes against top 6 Bournemouth we were awesome, played them off the park until a sending off...

He had them playing well above themselves for several years, including in the prem. he was never going to sustain it longer term as that team was playing so far above itself. We’ve got better players now than they had. 

No we haven’t

Like I said in this post! He spoke very well in his analysis on MOTD2. Clear, honest, and realistic in his comments with a hell of a lot of knowledge of players at other clubs. Would certainly instil discipline into our play that's for sure.

'He spoke very well in his analysis on MOTD2' Really? He sounded kinda simple to me, just stating the obvious, like most of them. The only pundit who has any nous is Neville...now there's a thought!

[yellowrider120 761]

Excellent analysis by the 'young man'!

If it's a straight choice between the verbal diarrhoea from Farke who consistently deviates from the subject and goes off on tangents and simply rambles for minutes on end OR the 'simple' analysis from Wilder then give me the Simpleton every day thank you!

It's not a case of Farke being a bad manager, because he isn't, but he's taken Norwich as far as he can and the wheels have fallen off. It happens to all but the very few eventually.

There are managers out there who might not be technically as good as Farke but that's not the point, it's whether they would get more out of this squad, and I believe they couldn't be any worse. The squad needs a new pair of eyes run over them, new formations, new tactics, more intensity.

Everything Farke does this season is going wrong. We had a couple of weeks of new found solidity against Burnley and Brighton but here we are again with the same old errors. Absolute zero creativity matched to our new found lump it up tactics.

I didn't expect anything other than a very tough season, but this is next level misery bordering on humiliation.

His pregnant pauses remind me of Tony Blair! It’s like he’s discussing Cop26 or something of equal importance 😂

I Would say Farke ranks a Very good Norwich Manager Not Great or Greatest 

think of all the Managers who have kept us up , even the managers who have taken us down have a better PL record than Farke 

Lampard should Know how to get a Midfield Performing 

as for Ex Players talking about the game on TV Paul Scholes takes some beating 

Even called out the Man Utd would be 4-0 down at half time if they played the same way against Liverpool

i always thought he could make a top manager

Possibly true in the past but certainly not now.  Everyone in football knows that we're only in the PL for the parachute payments.

For sure Billy Gilmour would get a game if big Frank turned up. Without a doubt.

I state at the offset that I support Farke (and Webber, Delia etc). He has not become a bad manager overnight, in fact I go further and state that he is a great manager, one of the very best we have ever had at Norwich, both in terms of style-of-play and personality. 

You must be very young and/or brainwashed into thinking we're a tiny little tot of a club. 

He has failed miserably where it matters. He's one of the worst managers we've ever had. 

Y'all need to understand the difference between lower leagues and the top flight. Something that the club's hierarchy need to do, too. And sharpish.

I am not greedy, I do no seek to win the premiership or to even be in it year on year. What I do expect though is that what ever league we play in we constantly improve and we are competitive. Sadly since project restart our premier league form has been nothing short of an embarrassment. The way the players simply downed tools in those last 10 games after the restart was a disgrace and that can only come an apathy with those in charge. The start of this season is again nothing short of a joke. We have not progressed forward in any meaningful way and in my eyes are worse in every department across the pitch than both the season that have gone before. Deluded team selection, baffling tactics, inability to coach a defensive unit, inability to form a cohesive attacking unit. I feel Farke has reached the peak of his managerial mountain and is now tumbling off it like an avalanche down a hill. The only question that remains is how far down the hill do we let ourselves get dragged. Are the powers that be happy to be relegated again or do they have any actual ambition to stay in this league. Should the answer be the latter the bullet should come sooner for everyone’s mercy. 

As incredible as it sounds the powers that be, are happy to be relegated in the most embarrassing way in history. They have battened down in the bunker and couldn't give a sh1t what us fans think either

Thanks for there response. I empathise with some of your points - but who would we 'realistically' have in place of Farke who could do a better job? If we do decide to change I like the look of Valerian Ismael but that ship may have sailed to the Baggies.

Realistically who could do a worse Job?

64 years of age and No. You must be very young or brainwashed into thinking he is one of the worst managers we have had.

Those that want him out should be careful what they wish for as the 'noise' may just force him to resign or to be sacked and we end up with somebody worse. Confidence is a big deal and we were dealt a blow by the early fixtures, unable to get up and running with the resultant lack of confidence it instills. Also, the premiership seems to result in the insidious, ego-driven, head-turning of certain players (i.e. Buendía, Cantwell) that can affect the whole atmosphere and culture around a club. Instead of heads-down, focusing on learning to be 'better' in order to take on the challenge of the premier league, they become self-serving and simply want 'more'. Alternative examples are model professionals such as Krul, Hanley, Pukki etc who show professionalism even when the chips are down, trying their hardest to put it right. Some of the new guys and the youngsters will inevitably take time to adapt to their team-mates and the rigours of the premiership, but we need to support them even when they struggle. I actually care little about all the so-called bad records that City are breaking; they are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. If anything it presents a focus, a challenge, to prove all the nay-sayers wrong. There are still 84 points to play for and I for one believe we can prove all the doubters wrong and that it might yet be Farke's greatest achievement. And if we fail so-be-it we just go down fighting and go again next season, stronger, better. Come on City!

Is this post from a certain D.Smith from Stowmarket? Anti EPL, grateful for what you've given, unconditional support. 

Total delusional BS.

But with two more points than we got with DF.

[Yellow Wal 314]

And still nobody other than the OP has mentioned how much confidence means to a team and the way we were stitched up at the beginning of the season. Just to recap Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester (who were 5th last season) and an Arsenal team that won the last five games the previous season. 

Personally I felt we were unfortunate against both Leicester (a close offside goal disallowed) and Arsenal (a close call on an offside goal allowed). We are still the only team in the Premiership to have played all three of the top teams.

By contrast note Brighton's first four games, Burnley, Watford, Everton and Brentford. Yes, they did well, even if they did lose at home to Everton, and picked up some points, But more importantly their confidence was also built up.

We are now a team low in confidence and low in points and it will be hard to get out of the situation we are in, but panic will not help.
