Terminally Yellow 2,614 Posted December 27, 2022 ...someone on the up, rather than on the way down. Sam Seaman just made this point on the Pink Un youtube show - and it's really struck a chord with me. People like Parker, Gerrard, Dyche, Wilder, Bruce (god no) - all should not get a look in. The threads I have read saying "Would you take Warnock until the end of the season?" - you people can **** right off. We need to cultivate an atmosphere throughout the club now of us against the world. Norwich, with our meagre resources but good intentions, fighting to show the world that money isn't everything and a club with a good spirit and honest, hard working attitude that puts fans first can be a success in the dirty money world of billionaires and oil states and their disgusting exploitation of others. We need a manager who can cultivate that sort of attitude through his own fire and determination. Stuart Webber, this is your time. If you thought your last appointment was important, this is 100x more serious. Go out there and bring back Norwich City's next managerial legend. You can do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,836 Posted December 27, 2022 Disagree that Dyche is on the way down. He is the epitomy of positivity in his personality and has loads to offer.

Deptford Yellow 295 Posted December 27, 2022 Yes this decision is make or break I think in showing if Webber is truly inspired or just occasionally lucky …. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Dan 336 Posted December 27, 2022 On the up... Not sure... But 100% no baggage. Duncan Ferguson... I quite like the idea... @Terminally Yellow just posted his name and more details here.. I would say he is top of my growing list. We need unrelenting passion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,015 Posted December 27, 2022 The club have said that the objective remains promotion this season. That rules out most managers on the lists I've seen. I'm warming to the idea of Dyche. It won't be a Johnny Foreigner with no idea of English/Championship football. Quote from Webber... Canaries sporting director Stuart Webber added: "This was a tough decision, but one that we felt was necessary to give ourselves the best possible chance of achieving our objective of promotion to the Premier League this season.

Well they have to say that, but it doesn’t mean they won’t make an appointment that accepts non-promotion provided they think it is the best longer-term choice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would add that someone on the way up might mean someone who doesn’t get us back up this season, and that fans need to understand that. My problem with Smith was not that he wasn't taking us up. It was that I couldn't see any progress towards a competitive PL team at all. Would much prefer the latter to the former, even if it takes a while. In fact, you could argue it's better for us not to be promoted until Attanasio is firmly at the wheel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,524 Posted December 27, 2022 I think playoffs and a return to having a style of play are the requirements now. Actual promotion through playoffs obviously desirable but they're 'a lottery'. A top 2 finish is possible but ublikely. 6 minutes ago, Capt. Pants said: May as well have kept Smith. No because he didn't have a style of play and we would have likely ended up way out of the playoffs had we kept him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
