Kenny Foggo 1,169 Posted February 15 In terms of stopping the negativity, there is a lot to be positive about so I think a piece from Knapper... value all the fans, need them to create a good atmosphere, lets get the season done and see what we can do better... a lot better than stay at home!

Wagner's only chance of keeping his job is to get promotion, and even then he might be moved on. 'We all know...'. Sorry, but he's improving our position and the players back him. Why should he have to pander to abusive arrogant unthinking idiots having hissy fits. Who knows? Maybe he doesn't care if he gets sacked? Maybe nobody worth their salt would want the job after the way he and Smith have been treated by some fans. Edited February 15 by littleyellowbirdie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,777 Posted February 15 Throw in the latest rumour about Cuesta and I don't think you'll see Knapper going public for a while. How the hell the club manages relations between Knapper and Wagner for while I've no idea. Then they have to manage a reconciliation with the fans who are desperately keen to see the rumour happen. Hmmm, is the timing of the Guardian article driven by a binner fan? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The author of this piece in the Guardian, if that's the one you meant, is a Palace fan. But they do have a binner on the staff. Paul MacInnes? NO! HE'S A WONDERFUL NORWICH FAN: SORRY PAUL. I've made it clear to them that I won't subscribe until he's fired. Edited February 15 by Robert N. LiM Purple tells me I've horribly slandered MacInnes here. I humbly apologise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit harsh on MacInnes, given that he is a Norwich City supporter… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 723 Posted February 16 (edited) I am always a bit puzzled by the talk of disconnect maybe it’s cause I am exiled fan. What constantly occurs to me is that since someone threw a season ticket at Bryan Gunn against Colchester it has been a mad rollercoaster to be a Norwich fan starting with Relegation to league One, promotion to the championship, promotion to the premier league, staying up in the premier league, relegation, promotion, relegation, championship campaign, championship campaign, promotion, relegation, promotion, relegation, championship campaign and now this season. So 10 seasons out of the last 14 have ended in massive success or massive failure. It is social media brought to life. I feel it’s natural for all parties connected or disconnected with the club to be a bit frazzled by that and I think the disconnect is a result of a complete lack of routine or stability. Which has led to some really strange contradictions in that I feel most fans don’t want promotion but at the same time don’t want to be a mid table championship team. Following Smith we wanted a manager to play exciting attacking football yet Wagner gets pillared for not having a plan b. The club can do more on an engagement basis maybe go and get Ben Kendall back but a five year stint of championship mid table existence might make fans more excited about a play off run when it finally happens.
