perucanary 0 Posted November 24, 2004 As well as our new found form a key to us staying up this season may be the number of clubs hitting the self distruct button. Looking at the clubs around and above us the inner turmoil at these clubs is a joke!Southampton - useless manager (his record is useless anyway) - fans on back, chairman not on same wavelength, must sack him but replace with hoddle?Blackburn. Change of manager - unproven at this level, team of underacheiving players, racism accusation against fans hanging overheads.West Brom. Fans on back of manager - poor results out the door - new manager, new tactics, same players wants 7 out in January, good start but rather them than us!Tottenham. six defeats in row. Manager out (weird circumstances) new man in. Naybet quoted as saying team is bad and in crisis. Portsmouth. Ego war. Manager and assistant out. Chairman to bring in own man - team inconsistent.Birmingham. Soon to lose to the mighty canaries. Backsliding. Racism situation causing rifts at the top. Big players are crap.If we keep our heads and energies focussed on the football at our club whilst others concentrate on politics we have a fair old chance of visiting Old trafford next year.

shropshire canary 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Certainly puts the relatively mild exchanges on message boards like this in context doesn''t it?Plenty to be said for "sticking to the knitting" as the management consultants call it - do what you know how to do and do it well. In NCFC''s case that means play to the abilities we have with maximum effort. The latter is generally there this season, and Worthy would appear to be learning about the former. Our job is to support passionately and advise as constructively as we can (frustrations allowing on occasion!) - it tends to be fan based pressure that creates the tailspins!!
