cambridgeshire canary 7,759 Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) You've heard Wagner. Our centrebacks have been playing well so clearly Batth can't play. Edited November 9, 2023 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,936 Posted November 9, 2023 This is more concerning: DW on Delia and Michael's phone call: "It meant a lot to me. I knew I had the full support of the owners and the board, but Delia and Michael picked up the phone at the right moment. It's not only about backing me, the most important thing is that they see the reasons why we're in this situation the same way I see it. It's great to have owners like this, and it shows that they care about the club. But we need results, and it's still a results-driven business. It was a very good conversation."

This is exactly why I think a lot on here are getting ahead of themselves in assuming that Knapper starting = Wagner gone. Of course both Webber and Wagner are at fault. They both should be gone. But we’ve only got 50% thus far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 5,220 Posted November 9, 2023 The solution has been play him instead of either Duffy or Gibson but even when the opportunity arose Wagner did not take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,272 Posted November 9, 2023 "....... the most important thing is that they see the reasons why we're in this situation the same way I see it." What piffle. They are deluding themselves by seeking excuses for their particular roles in bringing about the car crash. Yes! Vital injuries, we know all that, but all clubs have these and City were particularly under-prepared to cover those vital areas in the first place. The 'reasons we're in this situation' are many. A significant one of the many has become hanging on to an inadequate manager for far too long. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,936 Posted November 9, 2023 Has he found a CDM in the squad yet who can actually sit in front of the back four, giving protection and breaking up play, subsequently passing the ball to our more creative players? Nothing much will change in his favour until he does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serinus Canaria Domestica 57 Posted November 9, 2023 This Press Conference comes from a parallel universe…….. on the other hand a personal phone call from D&M could be construed as the dreaded vote of (no)confidence…..and Ben Knapper’s talk of keeping going smacks of someone telling an innocent on the precipice to, go on, take one more step backwards… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,553 Posted November 9, 2023 A complete waste of a decent player.... So unless another club tap him up it seems they'd rather not use Baath to plug the hole in our defence, and come January this current shower of a club will sell Baath to the highest bidet and faucet through....so as not to continue to drain our finances....

Oh yes Norwich City! Wasn't he a free agent? He would have agreed terms based on being a first team squad member who is expected to play if fit and if the coach selects him.

Never have I heard a City manager talk such tripe. How do these people land these important highly paid jobs? Only in football? He's useless.
