The conduct of NCFC

I know this is a tired old cliché, but the responsibility of how NCFC conduct themselves on and off the pitch rests with the board of directors.

I posted yesterday that the decision yesterday to let Hucks go was a football decision, and one that Roeder has made. We have to respect Roeder for that.

However the way that it was handled was not a football decision and calls into question how this was approved. The Board must have known how the supporters would react, and backed Roeder’s decision on the timing of the announcement. Perhaps they felt they had no other option than to back Roeder as regards the timing. I don’t agree with this at all.

And I don’t buy the argument that may get trotted out about keeping the players on their toes, playing for a new deal etc at all. Hucks loyalty to NCFC has never been called into question. In last game of the Worthington era, when other players were going through the motions Hucks gave his all when not fully fit.

I can’t believe any apology from the Board will be forthcoming. Not only would it be an insult to our intelligence, it would be an admission that they (or Roeder) got it very badly wrong, and in my opinion an error of this magnitude would mean that whoever approved the decision was not fit for office.

Expect sandbags, tin-hats and radio silence from Carrow Road bunker for the next few days as they ride out the media storm.
