cambridgeshire canary 6,738 Posted January 4, 2023 Will take a long time for him too more so given a lot of players will no doubt be off by the end of the month. Even Pep couldn't get us promoted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraytonBoy 154 Posted January 4, 2023 He has to because there's no money to spend unless several players are sold immediately. I'm actually hoping that the appointment is with an eye to the long term re-build that will be needed soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,217 Posted January 4, 2023 If we lose a couple of games I am afraid the atmosphere amongst the club will change as it began to on Monday. Plenty are calling him the wrong man, so I guess he will get 3 months before those supporting him are called happy clappers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wagner's teams are reliant on fitness in the same way Farke's were, perhaps more-so, and it may take some time to start seeing significant changes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's on a 12 month deal, so if he is still here at Christmas then chances are we'll have made the playoffs and are either in the Prem or reasonably well placed in the Championship. The crowd, rightly or wrongly, will not tolerate us finishing a long way from the playoffs after Webber appointed his mate as manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,302 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Extraordinary that so many are ready to write off his chances before he's even arrived. The season he got Huddersfield promoted they were fancied by the bookies to be demotion contenders. Who knows what will happen. What I do remember was his team overpowering our side at Carrow Road with one of the best performances I had seen by a Championship side (1-2 didn't do them justice). Whatever!!! Here's a link to the Huddersfield fan site to get a different perspective on his arrival at NCFC: https://downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/118255/wagner-norwich?page=1 Edited January 5, 2023 by horsefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleyellowbirdie 2,553 Posted January 5, 2023 Quote “O!” rief Rossini aus, “in dieser Beziehung bin ich ganz Ihrer Meinung und Niemandist entferner davon, die Origianlität des Schöpfers des Lohengrin anzuzweifeln, als ich; nur daß es uns der Componist mitunter recht schwer macht, das Schöne, was wir ihm verdanken, in dem Chaos von Tönen, das seine Opern enthalten, aufzufinden. Sie werden es selbst schon erfahren haben: Mr. Wagner a de beaux moments, mais de mauvais quart d’heures! Dennoch bin ich seiner bisherigen Laufbahn mit gespanntem Interesse gefolgt.” Quote “O!” cried out Rossini, “in this connection I am completely of your opinion and no one is further from doubting the originality of the creator of Lohengrin than I; only that the composer sometimes makes it right difficult for us to find the beauty, which we thank him for, in the chaos of the tones, that his operas contain. You will have heard it yourself already: Wagner has lovely moments but awful quarter-hours. Nevertheless I have followed his career up to now with excited interest.” -Giachino Rossini 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,250 Posted January 5, 2023 Those who've bothered to do a small amount of research into Wagner's tactics at Huddersfield will realise the transition from Smithball to Wagnerball probably won't be quick. For a start the players aren't fit enough. This will take time; it might not be until next season, but hopefully we will see a huge improvement in the meantime, possibly good enough for the play-offs. I'll continue to be bullish, but this feels a short to medium rebuild project. Personally I find that more exciting than getting humiliated in the Premier League. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted January 5, 2023 Well, unlike many, seemingly, I feel very positive about this. The league is incredibly close this year- MBoro who were out of it have charged all the way up and there a precious few points separating most teams. We only need a small bounce to be right back into contention. Auto looks beyond reach barring a miracle but play offs defo realistic. My second best day out as an NCFC supporter was Wembley 2015, a repeat of that would be tasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 272 Posted January 5, 2023 I'm not sure about Wagner, but he deserves a chance. Such has been the wastefulness of Stuart Webber's recruitment, the club had limited options, despite Zoe ' Now I can use my married name' Webber's absurd ramblings about what a prestigious position the manager's job is at CR. Wagner has problems all around him, so I do not envy him one little bit. Mentally fatigued players, a board who still view football like a pack of Woodbine's and a club that is not run well despite much rhetoric to the contrary. It is sailing very close to the wind. Worst case scenario is relegation/administration or the best is play offs. Probably end up mid table, but if he can get them playing in a system week in, week out that works more often than not and the player seem happy with, that will be a big leap forward. The club needs to work with a smaller squad, though the fact that the club has little players of value is a concern as I know the club were very surprised that they could not shift Aarons and Cantwell in the summer. Would would they be worth now? All in all this appointment needs to work out at least reasonably positively, otherwise any continuation of current form will be back in a division that even Delia would baulk at.
