During 1992/3, Norwich had our worst goal drought in club history. It lasted about 6 hours

Should we have sacked Mike Walker because we'd been "poor since the Man Utd game"?

I mean, good lord. They sacked the manager who took them up. They sacked the manager who kept them up. They sacked the manager who took them to an FA Cup Final. They sacked the manager who turned them round this season and has *probably* kept them up. In fact, they've just made their going down more likely.

        Mike Walker completely over achieved in 92/93 so never in danger of the sack (Other Football) - roedtonowhere, Jul 19, 23:48:50
        
        So two wins in his last three games don't count?! (n/m) (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Jul 20, 00:01:19
        
        Two wins and one against us can be disregarded. The other one required two penalties (Other Football) - roedtonowhere, Jul 20, 00:15:20
