sonyc 5,517 Posted August 25, 2013 This is what is wrong in posting on this forum! I post a few times a year. But a considered post simply asking posters what they think the board will do, how they will be thinking after massive investment and you are accused of reacting suddenly and without proportion. I have held my view about CH and especially the management team for a good while. I did say to get rid now would be a desperate act. It would. Does this imply I''m overacting? No. I have supported ncfc for over 50 years. I like good football. I like to enjoy my team. I want entertainment. Most of all I want something to feel worth my time. The last half season stretched my tolerance. It''s the same with many posters. And I reckon too that the board will be thinking the same. It''s an expansive investment and its an entertainment business.Lesson here for me is not to post less often. Obviously a moderate post on the subject of my frustration with playing style and tactics is too much for some. Amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,764 Posted August 25, 2013 "Death by Chocolate Starfish""ref89"Roberto Di Matteo.Do you mean the one sacked by similar sized club WBA for poor results?Just about to post a similar thing. People see his time at Chelsea proves he was a good manager. He took over from an unpopular manager with a very good team. He didn''t need to do much as the players knew exactly what they were doing.Look at his record at WBA and then reassess if he is appropriate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonzey 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Holt is such a huge player to replace that it is going to take time for RVW to settle in and a team to gel around him. Usually four players isn''t a problem, unless a club legend has left. I''m sure that by Xmas we''ll have settled down and be playing some better football. Fer will help to open the play up, Bassong will be back too so we don''t have to worry as much at he back.Early days people. No need to order adult nappies.

sonyc 5,517 Posted August 25, 2013 Yes I think do Morty. I am a respectful kind of person and am probably old fashioned in terms of moderate opinion. Losing is part of the game! Without this winning loses its magic. Hopefully we win next weekend. It''s the playing style and tactics that get to me. Perhaps I was spoiled under Lambert. And yes I do know he has gone, move on and all that....I have. But he did get his teams to football what I call the Norwich way. I did hint above i was getting long in the tooth. Many supporters may not even understand what I mean by that (with apologies now if you do) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,517 Posted August 25, 2013 Just offering an opinion Ricardo that is all. It''s not personal against you or others. I enjoy your opinions some of the most. Especially your match day opinions. And yes I have put up with dross more times than not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted August 25, 2013 I think McNally will be more ruthless than a lot of people think. Last season was all about survival but the football was so poor and we only just scraped safety with less points than the season before. If, after the money spent and quality of players brought in, we look like repeating last season he will be shown the door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hannibal II 0 Posted August 25, 2013 i don''t understand the train of thought in saying its only 2 games in, Hull was Hughtons 46th game in charge of Norwich my opinion has been formed after those games not after 2. Over those 46 game CH only has a 2% better win ration than Brynn Gunn did as our manager says it all reallly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
