Walking and simply wandering in a Wagner wonderland

So are we somehow mid-way through a geriatric revolution right now and we just don’t see it?

you guys have been saying every season is the “rebuild season” and we just need patience, you’ll say the same thing next season.

Its not going to be funny when we sell Johnny Rowe to Leeds for 5 million quid though, is it? And then the next Johnny Rowe for 2 million quid.

The slide is soo soooo obvious and some on here either don’t care because the club doesn’t actually mean that much to them or are so helplessly dependent on the status quo solely for selfish reasons.

Its a disaster. The massive gaps in the seats today tell a story that so many aren’t willing or able to confront.

I’ve never once said it’s a rebuild season. I thought at the end of last season we needed some old heads in there (as did most of us) and that’s what was largely bought. Unfortunately it appears those old heads largely haven’t performed.

If Knapper has somebody in mind to replace Wagner more aligned to how he wants to run the club then by all means replace him as I don’t think Wagner is anything special. However if he still needs time to find a better replacement then I’d rather he did that than rush and choose the wrong candidate.

Oh, don’t worry my man. There’ll be no rush.

We should be known as f@&ing Glacial FC at the rate anything gets done around here.

Let’s just see who’s failed recently and is “a jolly nice fellow”, that’s your classic Delia appointment.

Young? Up and comer? Ready to make the step up? Need not apply.

We need old, proven failures who need a good old pat on the head from Mummy Delia.

Like Worthy, Lambert, Neil, Farke etc? All has beens signed during Mummy Delia’s tenure

The next manager will be Knapper's choice. Farke, Smith and Wagner were Webber's.

I don't want to check. I'm not arguing it. But if you know who Knapper's man, is and know he's available, what's the hold up?

Sorry Nutty Knappers new man was just a wind up i honestly have no idea about him ,

I Knew about Farke as my ITK man was at the club at the time 

 i have a feeling might be someone like John Terry might not be popular Choice but he has always said he is waiting for right club after being No2 ,

These people will take both sides of the debate if you let them. Of course you didn't say it was a rebuild season. Neither did I mention Delia. Just play for a bit then leave them to argue with themselves.

That was a wind up as i used to find out a lot of ITK info ,

Like when my man who worked at the club told me about Farke , i could not say oh Farke is joining on here so i got a group i trusted posters i knew and told them by Private message ,

I Have never named my source and never will 

also some of the things like Moxey sacked i could not put on here at the time but told people i trusted who would not plaster it everywhere

No Worries i thought Nutty might remember when Farke story came out ,

i think it will be John Terry no info just think he might do well ( tin hat on )

Yes but Farke didn't and wouldn't walk out of a contract so when he was identified is irrelevant. He couldn't have been appointed before the summer. He wouldn't have come in December.

If Knapper brings in a dozen or so new (perhaps young) players then yeah I'd accept it as a 'Farkes first season' scenario, but what we have now is a load of under-perforining experienced players in some weird set up with 2 attackers who get zero service. 

I don't see where we are developing anyone or anything.

‘Wagnerball’

Reminded me of many games during Farkes first season to be honest. A mountain of possession but no guile that would allow us to be able to break down an opposition that had 11 men behind the ball

It's almost like we're just missing one player who can unpick resolute defences like that...

What's pathetic is the idea that we're suddenly going to win more games if Wagner's sacked. We had all this with Smith last year. It's just a roll of the dice again. I couldn't care less if Wagner's sacked. But there needs to be a plan. Smith is gone, Webber is gone, we should let Knapper sort it out his way.

I think it ends next weekend at Portaloo. Then we will find out what Knapper’s all about. The club will have no choice but to act. Whether that results in Smith m2 remains to be seen.

Those players don’t come around very often in the second division though. Buendia and Hoolahan are the only two that spring to mind who were technically a level above. Huckerby was effective but in a different way

Funny to think we had Pukki and Rhodes at one stage. To be fair, I wouldn't write off Sargent to do it when he's fit again.

I’d add Maddison to that list.

A fun way of doing this sort of thing is to put the name on a note, seal it in an envelope and then post it to yourself. Once he's announced, do a Youtube video showing the date on the stamp on the envelope, open it and remove the note, showing the name to the camera, keeping both envelope and the note in shot at all times with no edits. Then post it on here for a chuckle. 🙂

maybe we have somebody else like Farke lined up ? 

it would blow my John Terry prediction i do think he is out of work at moment so nothing stopping him 

i think he will be a younger manager who Knapper would of met on FA course or something like that someone highly thought of maybe not a household name

maybe we should do what lambert done?

[Corbs1 90]

I enjoyed today, a poor match, but a clean sheet. I’m a realist, we dispensed with a great manager, sold good players so I attend knowing a new era is apon us. It’s not compulsory to go down to Carrow Road, if you have not got the bottle for it, just admit it and good riddance/ bring back the 14k loyalists.

I understand we do stats now. Stats wise Duffy was a great signing. If you put last seasons deficiencies into a stats machine you'd probably churn Duffy out. 

Perhaps baseball stats will work out better in January.

I’m still unconvinced with all this stats business. I can see how it would work in baseball but football has too many moving parts in my eyes

The name is Carlos Cuesta and that rumour has become embedded for a few weeks now. As for JT - not a cat in hells chance of The Cook signing that one off!
