Syteanric 1 Posted July 28, 2011 Terry Butcher is a grade A scummer... I hope OTJ turns him down for this reason! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me and my mate always debate on this, he''s from scotland and supports Celtic, and say i don''t see norwich winning trophies like we do, to which i always reply we don''t play pub teams.

I don''t think he is an awful player, but his style certainly doesn''t match that of Lambert''s. The less said about Scottish football the better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FatboySlimfast 0 Posted July 28, 2011 Good luck to the lad, at least he''s prepared to move in search of playing week in week out. Personally i don''t think Smith and Hughes have any intention of doing the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 28, 2011 I wonder why didn''t we cancel his contract by mutual consent during the last close season?What a waste of money OTJ''s career at Norwich has been; we barely saw him play... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
