jetstream 0 Posted October 15, 2007 If you haven''t read through the posts on that link 1st Wizard put up then I''d recommend you do - it''s makes very interesting reading.Here it is again: http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=944&p=16&style=2&forumId=3276&action=1&replytoid=527919155A mixed bag of views but in general he seems to have split the fans, there are accusations of boring ''long-ball'' football, and suggestions of fans boycotting games. There is also a certain glee amongst some posters that they might get rid of him. Even those who like him don''t seem to think he''ll get them promoted, despite their current league placing.Not exactly a glowing reference is it?I know that every potential manager will have ''baggage'' but this doesn''t fill you with confidence does it?

Norwich has a great history of wonderful football and for the past 3 years we have put up with hoofball and playing for 1-0''s and look where it has left us. We need a manager with the ability to make us play football the norwich way and take us back where we belong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 272 Posted October 15, 2007 To a degree, playing football ''the Norwich way'' is a myth. There has been many a time in the last 30 years or so since I''ve been supporting NCFC where the style has been anything but.This was most noteable under all people, Martin ''O Neill, but people forget this as the results were okay. It was terribly long ball and older fans at the time said it was the worst style of football they could remember under any Norwich manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buncey 1 Posted October 15, 2007 those were not good days though really... When we''ve been at our best we played wonderful football, whenever we do bad it seems to coincide with playing poor quality football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
