Ian 1,129 Posted November 12, 2021 I thought the general consensus was he was probably not the right guy for us - now the club's a shambles because he's not in the running?! 😆 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking about the options now, I'd say No. Seems too "simple" to me, maybe that's a little harsh? Had Grealish and a wealth of other talent at his disposal. But has looked so lost this season without him. Luckily everyone else touted is quite positive. Shame Newcastle and Villa in the waters at the same time, I really felt Howe was the one after Chelsea. Left it too late, i fear. But i've got utmost trust in Webber to deliver still.. Even though he's facing an incredible uphill battle now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bringing Farke in and some quality signings, it seemed he really knew what he was doing.But Dean Smith is Chamionship level at best and we had a better Championship manager at the club already. I really hope he has something up his sleeve, as Smith is downgrade. It appears to have escaped your attention, but Webber is trying to recruit a Premier League coach, not one for the Championship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary bob 6 Posted November 12, 2021 Neither Frank Lampard or Dean Smith were ever on the alleged list of 2, why does everyone believe the rubbish being spouted by sky sports and talksport. Just to cover there backsides, sky sports are now saying Frank has turned the job down, how could he turn down a job he was never offered. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's obvious Farke was sacked with someone specific in mind, and it's not going to come off. We will probably end up with somebody where it will look like we'd have been better off just keeping Farke! How is it obvious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean80 1 Posted November 12, 2021 DEAN SMITH will reportedly be offered the Norwich job after Frank Lampard has pulled out of the running. The former Chelsea manager, who was not offered the job, felt that he would not suit the position at Carrow Road and could struggle to turn the team around.
