Admittedly I know nothing much at all about the name being touted, but I quite like the idea of a Norwegian manager to be honest, we have a decent record with Norwegian players and it might help us keep hold of Normann!

He was assistant when Normann was sold from there. Normann's a Lofoten Islander, so Bodo is the nearest club of any size to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kinggoblin 37 Posted November 7, 2021 I don't know where all these names are coming from, if it was only decided on Thursday to sack Farke then it will have to be someone who is available to takeover in the next few days, I think it will probably be Roy Hodgson until the end of the season. lets face it he has been at Carrow Road watching us play lately, and then a permanent manager appointed when we know what division were in next season.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted November 7, 2021 In the past few hours, Knutsen has basically come down from 7/1 to 17/10 second favourite. Lampards odds have thankfully gone out a bit now. And Farke has been installed at 33/1 to become Villa’s new boss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can save Billy and get the best out of him. You will replace Kenny and Dowell to shore up the midfield. Don't expect you to keep us up not a miracle worker but can give fans and players a lift with your playing history. Get us playing good football again improve on Farkeball. You won't cost the earth, backroom staff of Jody Morris and couple of others. Being a Chelsea legend needs to be overcome obviously, but welcome nontheless, however keep your missus at home. Who else can we get to fit after dispensing with Daniel, Frank can save Webber's reputation which is why it is Frank's job. Cut out the middleman, get jodi Morris. We don't need a front man we need a tactically astute coach....Jody Morris . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoolahoop14 124 Posted November 8, 2021 Norwich have a very big decision to make. Daniel Farke was dismissed on Saturday evening after their first Premier League win of the season, implying the decision was made before the match. Such planning would also indicate they have someone lined up. The favourite for the role is Frank Lampard, which would at least show some long-term thinking, rather than selecting one of the old guard in a bid to beat the drop. Farke’s replacement will know the club are likely to go back down and their role will be to accept relegation with dignity before preparing for a Championship campaign. Lampard struggled to organise a talented Chelsea squad in the Premier League and failed to bring up an expensively-assembled Derby team when in the second tier, making him a big name without the CV to back it up. He would be an underwhelming choice given Norwich’s needs. Will Unwin - From The Guardian today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Webber likes to plan. When he says the decision was made on Thursday it probably means that it had taken from Sunday to Wednesday to find the person he was looking for. I'd be surprised if it isn't announced today or tomorrow but I'm pretty certain he wouldn't have sacked Farke unless he had someone lined up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,556 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Unless they are keeping it very quiet it is plain neither Bailey nor the EDP trio have a clue who it will be. And I assume the bookies only have Lampard as favourite because he is well known and out of work. Which is why he is on the bookies' lists for the Villa job as well. On the face of it, as that Guardian piece explains, Lampard seems to be the opposite of what we need, which is a really tactically savvy head coach.

He started at 6/1 and quickly went to evens which means someone had a big bet or a lot of people had small bets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
