Oh Dear Hughton

“He served us very well, in both promotion seasons, but that is one that has moved on now and we wish him all the best but we have to concentrate very much on what we are trying to do now in the future.”

In reference to Andrew Crofts

a player who we didn''t sign until may 2010.

I noticed this (as i guess others have) but just put it down as a genuine oversight and certainly didn''t feel the need to come on here and slate our new manager over it

The term ''any available opportunity'' is quite apt here I think

Maybe our next manager shouldnt be allowed to be appointed until he''s got a 100% score in the Norwich City FC Trivia pub quiz.

I read this in the EDP yesterday and he actually says something along the lines, I no he he played before me time. Words to those effec anyway. And I''m almost certain that was part of the quote and not just added in by the paper.

Oh I just re-read, yeah he did get that wrong. But he wasn''t here, so can''t blame him too much for that.

Typical NFN Norwich supporter!!!! OP what mistake are you going to tell us all about next

[If wed only kept Howie.. 3]

and he says "us"... well he wasn''t Norwich manager during both promotions seasons (that was some other chap whose name escapes me). I don''t think Andrew Crofts played for either Newcastle or Birmingham.

I hope this important kind of important confusion over who played when, for who, doesn''t impact the performance of the first team...

Jesus Christ, I didn''t think this was going to be taken that seriously!

In terms of ''any excuse to slate the manager'' I am fully behind Hughton, and was delighted at his appointment, sorry if my post has offended anyone.

[Yobocop 1,095]

I think it was more the way you portrayed your point

[Mark Fotheringham City Legend 0]

my apologies then, it wasn''t intended to be a pedantic post.

Well you must know by now that sarcasm doesn''t come across well on the internet, you didn''t give any reason to make us think you weren''t serious...

CH made a simple mistake, not a huge crime.

Incidentally, has there been even a vague mention anywhere of the transfer fee we got for Crofts? Albion fans seemed to think we paid £300k (I was sure he was out of contract and free, but not a big deal) - in-contract and a PL player you''d hope we got a decent fee for him...

Fossie, in future mate put a big disclaimer as people will take things litterally and then the forum police will come out and give you the playground attacks as you havent been reading xxxxx posters 90000 other posts where he is always sarcastic so you should know by now :)
