It just doesn't make sense

EVEN after a season of execrable performances, EVEN after a campaign of horrendous underachievement, EVEN after a season in which the majority of new signings have conspicuously failed to justify their existence, you might just be able to understand the Board's thinking if the manager was honest enough to admit how and why things have gone wrong this season. If he was honest enough to say it has been unacceptable and 'I must be judged' on how we respond at the beginning of next season.

I wouldn't like it, I would still be critical, but I could just about, vaguely understand why the Board are prepared to be patient a little longer.

But I just CANNOT, for the life of me, understand why huge alarm bells would not be ringing after his comments about Saturday's game. Let's make no bones about it - any suggestion that this was anything other than the latest in a long line of pathetic capitulations is an outrage and an appalling example of this arrogant manager taking supporters and the press for fools.

If the Board want to believe that he can turn it all round, then fine. It is their choice, regardless of how unlikely that now seems. But if the Board are prepared to tolerate utterances that bear this little relation to reality and generate nothing but widespread derision then their judgement cannot be respected.

Whether Worthington 'must go' or not, we deserve much, much better and although he seems incapable of eliciting good performances from his players, he certainly should at the very least be capable of honesty. Or is even that beyond him?

Shame on you Norwich City. What on earth is going on?
