Waveney Canary 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Typical rubbish from a hughton apologist. Only the return of the Messiah will get the fans reunited. I think everyone will accept this simple truth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted January 4, 2014 So apparently as fans, if we are unhappy with the manager and style of play being served up each week, we should go to games and act perfectly normally, but somehow then display our displeasure through other means???Let me tell you, ranting on internet forums and forming 3 man rally''s outside Carrow Road will make sod all difference and zero impact on the board or coaching staff, whereas 20,000 pissed off fans in a ground on match day definitely DOES convey a firm message...

Herman 9,764 Posted January 4, 2014 But does it help Indy? Take the booing of the Hooper sub. Does a player like Ricky really need to hear that? I know it''s aimed at the manager, but the players don''t know. My theory is that you are really unhappy vote with your feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Its a well written piece, and of course I agree.......I have seen the destructive outcome of previous tirades against our Manager''s at Carrow Road, all they did was impact negatively on the way the team played and didnt speed up the departure of the manager at that time at all (regardless of what the "outers" may think), just cost us points. I personally see no reason not to trust the Board of the club to make the right decision at a time they feel is the right time, they know all of the background and are informed, unfortunately we are not. I guess my comments make me a "happy clapper", so be it.... OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,558 Posted January 4, 2014 One point that piece doesn''t make is that it seems, based on recent reports of much lower away support, as if a fair number of Hughton Outers who in the past have attended away games have started to stay at home. If so then the volume of anti-Hughton feeling away from Carrow Road is less than it might be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted January 4, 2014 The simple truth is that the majority of all football fans react only to what they see on the pitch. People pay good money to be entertained and excited by people who are supposed to be at, or near, the top of their profession and rightly vent their frustration when they witness these very same people showing the same inadequacies & failures week after week.

LostTheFaith 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Your problem is that it is only a minority who have it in for the manager. This is a minority board with minority views.We are 11th I. The form table and oh 3 points off 10th !Support your club, the team and the manager. It is rubbish to say that players are not happy as the board would not allow this.
