Graham Paddons Beard 2,435 Posted April 22, 2023 To see my Club in this state. Been there and seen it all before , but it never gets any easier . How did we end up with this set of players . Decent owners but who now haven’t got the drive or the money who have rescinded power to a sporting director who has come to the end of his agitation and his wife who in interviews couldn’t be less (you know) impressive . How have we ended up giving new contract to a player like Onel who three years ago wasn’t good enough for our then team? Or a striker who doesn’t strike ? How have we deflated the fans and the sponsors . Found a way to perform suicidal PR stunt after stunt . Having to celebrate having a nice font or badge change. I feel tonight like I did under Roeder. We have witnessed relegation form in the last 10 games. I wish i didn’t care so much but Norwich are in the very core of my being . Watching that shocking performance , hearing the fans , listening to friends connected to the club and what is happening is dreadful. The City club is having a nightmare .

S_81 815 Posted April 22, 2023 Webber, that’s how. Sure - others will say the owners. And of course we can argue about what we could do with the bigger budget. But it’s clear that Webber will blow whatever budget he’s given. He’d just waste even more money. I blame the owners more for not getting rid of Webber than I do for their investment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top corner 228 Posted April 22, 2023 In the last few seasons where we've benefited from the riches of being in the Premier League & all we've got to show is this set of players who have underperformed week in week out. We'll get Webber & Co say that we've got a top notch training ground, well that top notch training ground isn't producing. I work bloody hard to be able to afford my season ticket & for what.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last two years have basically been the twitching corpse of the Farke era. And no signs of new life to replace it. Perfect summary, I did wonder if Farke would leave a VERY difficult act to follow and whoever followed him had a real poisoned chalice of a task on their hands. It's always a very hard call to follow such a popular manager who overachieved. Manchester United had that problem with Sir Alex Ferguson. At a lower level, we're facing the same problem. I don't think the solutions are that easy to find. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,131 Posted April 22, 2023 A bit depressing to see how much we have regressed over the last couple of seasons. What I can't seem to get away from is whether Webber is just a bit of a chancer who has ridden his luck substantially. Apparently the whole point of the DoF model was to keep a consistent playing style/identity and squad capable of achieving it regardless of coaching staff - clearly that was a lie given the current situation we find ourselves in. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleyellowbirdie 2,562 Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) These players have been much better than this earlier this season, but have gone backwards. They've clearly just given up and don't care what the fans think any more. I do think that's a consequence of the attitude of a lot of fans this season. Sadly, the collapse in atmosphere probably does mean this whole squad may need to move on, and most of them probably can't wait to do so. It's a shame that it appears that throwing the baby out with the bathwater is sometimes the only way to progress that some fans will accept if things aren't going right.

When people continually say “you know”, it is generally a good indication they don’t really know what they are saying, and have no confidence in their ability to deliver the message. In this case, it is “you know” no surprise, given how unqualified Mrs Webber is, yet she continues to earn the big bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raunds canary 217 Posted April 22, 2023 Football goes in cycles it always has. We have had a few decent years and now it looks like a few in the wilderness again. The sad thing is it could have been avoided this time with better decisions. The biggest frustration for me is that no matter what you think of the owners and the Webber's the squad we have had the season should have been comfortably good enough to achieve at least the play offs. Most have been sleep walking through the past few months giving supporters who pay good money to watch nothing . Can't honestly think of one player to come out of this season with even a tiny bit of credit. Will be a very interesting summer and I don't think anyone would object to a complete new starting eleven in August and a new coach too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted April 22, 2023 I ended up enjoying it. I was there with my boy who only gets to 4 or 5 games and my father in law. Gallows humour all second half. Had some good laughs with the regulars around us. Don't get me wrong,Webber is ****ing useless and Wagner is a total clown. But being there at the full time whistle will be a badge of honour when we get promoted in the next few years. And the misery of today will make the 2027 Wembley Playoff Final victory that much sweeter. It does all hinge on sacking the moronic Sporting Director, mind you.
