shaun.lawson Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 This guy needs to pack in football management or is he just a poor judge of teams to managehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich /7828617.stm Er, excuse me! I'm ******-a-hoop at the moment: knocking Hibs out the Cup and Roeder being sacked all in a few days? My cup o'erfloweth with joy. He's actually genuinely good when he first takes over pretty much any club - but it all goes rapidly pearshaped thereafter. Compounding this is an arrogance quite breathtaking to behold: he'd talk about the players having been "in school for a day" to be scolded by him; and when a mild mannered supporter asked him about our poor results at the most recent AGM, he responded with: "I must have missed your tenure as England manager". That one sentence will stand as his managerial epitaph at Norwich: it turned the entire support against him. If he could actually find someone he's able to work with, I think he'd make a good DoF somewhere; but as a manager, he's a disaster, as most of us knew when our shower of incompetents appointed him at the first place. With his coaching staff dismissed as well, it looks rather like we've already got someone lined up: Boothroyd I hope. But nothing would surprise me where the Norwich City board are concerned - nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun, it stated on the radio that ex-Hearts man Boothroyd has a Norwich connection also - I don't recall that, when was that? Also, what is the Norwich equivalent of JKB? Thanks.

shaun.lawson Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Shaun, it stated on the radio that ex-Hearts man Boothroyd has a Norwich connection also - I don't recall that, when was that? Also, what is the Norwich equivalent of JKB? Thanks. Boothroyd's a former youth coach, who loves the club and knows it inside out. As for messageboards - frankly, they're both crap, but I favour the always funny http://www.wrathofthebarclay.co.uk (there's a lot of 'in' jokes you'll have to pick up though) over the sensationalised pish that is http://www.pinkun.com.

neilnunb Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm just glad Roeder's away. let's hope there's some kind of reaction and they get the win they need against Barnsley. Trouble is there's a slight gap from the bottom to mid-table so they need to string a few results together, quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you he thought Roeders time was up. There are. David Marshall, Sammy Clingan and Wes Hoolahan are genuinely good players - but Stefanovic getting a long-term knock killed us at CB. I absolutely think we have the players not to be 21st in the league; the trouble, though, is Roeder has filled us to the brim with loan players, most of whom have to return this month anyway (and Leroy Lita already has). This gutted the team's identity, and made it impossible for the fans to connect with it - plus, you have to wonder about the commitment of players who know they'll be off soon anyway.

Debtor Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 He did look good at first, but remember he had taken over from peter Grant! All he had to do was get the players to pass the ball to one another and they were an improvement! I hope Norwich bring ina decent manager now, the fans deserve one.

The fans have been almost ridiculously loyal - look at this: http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D1/attend.html And this despite finishes of 16th and 17th even before this sorry season.

Gershwin Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Just resign Ruel Fox, Efan Ekoku and Jeremy Goss. You'll be ok. Always had a soft spot for Norwich as I had the subutteo team. I think they were one of the few teams that had their proper kit and sponsors painted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the rivals.net one - you can try it, but it's basically crap. And nope: apart from Sons of Sam Horn, nothing is as good as JKB. Accept no imitations.
