- re: point 3. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 28, 21:05:42
  - he wanted to move to a bigger club on a fatter wage... (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 28, 21:08:15
    - I agree but Celtic are literally the only club he's ever shown any loyalty to. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 28, 21:23:04
    - Burnley clearly aren't a bigger club, even though they had some parachute money. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Apr 28, 21:13:00
      - perhaps being a lot closer to Glasgow was a factor (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 28, 21:14:43
  - It does look like that, yes. His decision-making abilities are awful (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 28, 21:07:43
- What would be the requirements to meet the 'background or expertise in football' critera? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Apr 28, 20:59:02

      - It's a long term thing though, isn't it? (NCFC) - APB, Apr 28, 21:11:47
        
        But it will be because of the boards investment in youth not any manager. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 28, 21:15:06

      - But would a first team manager have a say over youth investment? (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 28, 21:13:09

- We haven't performed all season. We deserve the drop (n/m) (NCFC) - Upperjarroldmiddle, Apr 27, 12:15:27
- No. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Apr 27, 12:14:19
- Nope (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Apr 27, 12:13:56
- Yes OTBC (n/m) (NCFC) - Coventry Yellow, Apr 27, 12:12:20
- Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:11:20
- Yes. (NCFC) - Jim Nasium, Apr 27, 12:11:17
  - This is so true, and it's hard to see how to fix it (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:12:43
    - Until if and when the bubble bursts, things won't change. (NCFC) - Jim Nasium, Apr 27, 12:22:35
- Yep, after all it's just another part of following Norwich (n/m) (NCFC) - ihateipswich, Apr 27, 12:06:06
- Hardly the first time we've been regulated. Won't be the last either (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:03:46
- Yes after Boxing Day (n/m) (NCFC) - BSE Canary, Apr 27, 12:01:55
Such fine margins... (NCFC) - Jim Nasium, Apr 27, 11:46:50
- It was a clear pen and should have been a red (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:06:07
- he had hold of Welbecks shirt, clear Pen (n/m) (NCFC) - BSE Canary, Apr 27, 12:02:51
- I thought the Welbeck foul was a clear penalty - much more blatant than Long (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 11:52:35
  - Oh I'm not really complaining... you make your own luck. (NCFC) - Jim Nasium, Apr 27, 12:05:13
  - Same, I was actually very surprised to see how many on here and twitter didn't think (NCFC) - mrleelee, Apr 27, 12:01:22
    - and should have been a red card really (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 12:03:20
    - Clear tug wasn't it. what the other three were doing is anyone's guess... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:02:22
- Or simply big / home teams get the rub of the green from the boys in black? (n/m) (NCFC) - Jacksons_Twelfth, Apr 27, 11:50:35
Why is our best defender not playing at the moment? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 11:42:31
- I think it's clearly obvious he was Hughton's favourite and rightly (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 12:10:15
  - Or wrongly Adams has decided he doesn't fancy him being there. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 12:10:43
- A much better choice than R Martin... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:01:01
- I think his tendency to 'done tools' and not take responsibility are the reason. (NCFC) - walksie, Apr 27, 11:45:41
  - not sure I agree that he downs tools - he's always had lapses in concentration (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 11:49:51
    - He is the worst Captain we've ever had. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 11:54:55
      - no, I agree that he isn't a great captain (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 11:57:34
      - fotheringham (n/m) (NCFC) - matt in london, Apr 27, 11:57:07
        
        *shudders* (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:08:24
- Sulking. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 11:45:08
- He's incredibly average (n/m) (NCFC) - inutero, Apr 27, 11:44:44
  - you wouldn't have said that last season. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 27, 12:03:16
    - I did say that last season (n/m) (NCFC) - inutero, Apr 27, 12:14:11
    - last season people were claiming he was our best ever defender (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 12:06:56
      - Because he went all Adebayor on us... (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:07:49
        
        I haven't seen any complacency from him (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 12:12:11
        
        Falls into the humdrum, no urgency, uninterested. Just like Adebayor's "2nd seasons" (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:16:02
        
        disagree with that - he's made a few errors (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 12:18:47
        
        we'll have to agree to disagree.... Yawn! (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:24:26
  - that may be true, but he's still our best defender (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 11:47:52
    - I like Turner actually.... He is a better 'defender'. More Terry than Ferdinand of course (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 11:58:16
      - I like Turner as well, although I think he tends to dive in a bit too much (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 12:02:09
        
        B+T are a good pairing for us. I'd very much like to see Yobo here next term though (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:08:59
        
        They make an excellent pairing for us. I don't know why Adams is playing Martin (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 12:06:49
West Brom and Stoke (NCFC) - Mackem Canary, Apr 27, 11:16:02
- Is mid table obscurity what we all dream of? We're debt free, hopefully no surprises in (NCFC) - BSE Canary, Apr 27, 12:06:09
  - Well currently we're aspiring to be a yo-yo club (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:10:29
    - Agree Europa League is certainly more of a hindrance even for the "big" clubs, hoping not (NCFC) - BSE Canary, Apr 27, 12:13:23
      - Unfortunately, that's a great summary (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 12:16:02
- West Brom have been up and down a few times... (NCFC) - Jim Nasium, Apr 27, 11:34:31
- West Brom haven't spent much at all. Wage bill not a great deal higher than ours (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 11:26:13
  - and they sold shane long. (n/m) (NCFC) - private pike, Apr 27, 11:31:42
    - I think Shane Long wanted more money than they were willing to pay (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 11:59:48
- Stoke have a billionaire owner, and have spent accordingly (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 11:19:59
- Better managers (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 11:16:58
Is Surman on loan or was he released? (n/m) (NCFC) - trustsec, Apr 27, 10:42:44
- Be a useful squad member next season (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 11:07:19
- Loan (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 11:04:20
Josh Murphy... (NCFC) - Upperjarroldmiddle, Apr 27, 10:02:32
- He looked very raw to me (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 10:39:35
  - Yep. Set his progression back a season... (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 27, 13:28:55
  - Quite possibly but still a better option imho. I think he would play without fear (NCFC) - Upperjarroldmiddle, Apr 27, 10:41:50
My team for chelsea (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 27, 09:29:15
- Sounds good to me (n/m) (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 27, 12:21:35
- that could quite possibly be the slowest team in the history of football (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Apr 27, 10:09:09
  - Eliott and Olsson - wing backs well known for their lack of pace?? (n/m) (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 27, 12:22:55
  - get Gutierrez on for Olsson and you could be right (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 10:40:29
- What about (NCFC) - Colonelmustard, Apr 27, 10:02:58
- Mine (NCFC) - norway, Apr 27, 09:41:36
  - Snod on the left? (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 27, 10:25:57
  - I'd go with that (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Apr 27, 10:24:19
  - I like that. (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Apr 27, 09:46:29
- good. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Apr 27, 09:32:13
I really don't get it (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Apr 27, 01:00:58
- maybe because the board have been brilliant since League 1 (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 27, 01:51:33
- All went downhill when McNally said that stupid "Relegation would be worse than death" (NCFC) - thirsty work, Apr 27, 01:28:05
  - Agreed, but yet the board "haven't been questioned"? (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:29:43
    - It just seems like others get tremendously more blame (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Apr 27, 01:35:33
      - I don't know what it's like in the Seattle supporters club mate (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:43:04
        
        Sorry, don't understand your comment (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Apr 27, 01:45:11
        
        He mesan (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:45:45
        
        ? (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Apr 27, 01:47:13
        
        He means: "You're overseas. You're not allowed to comment on things he's seen IN THE FLESH (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:46:53
        
        But there has been a lot of criticisms toward the board. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:52:30
        
        Good response. :) (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:54:54
        
        I see. But this whole thread sort of makes my point. (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Apr 27, 01:50:45
        
        It's Lurd getting all precious about seeing games in the flesh... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:49:19
    - We've questioned the national press - when they questioned DM's behaviour - far, far more (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:31:57
- I think the last few games have shown (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:10:23
  - Sorry but thats a ridiculous statement. We have been playing attractive footy under Adams (NCFC) - John in Texas, Apr 27, 04:37:19
  - YOu are judging the new man after results at home to Liverpool (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:19:14
  - I broadly agree. But I also think they've strongly suggested: (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:13:11
    - Quality has very little to (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:17:29
      - Do* with our failings. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:18:34
        
        With a wage bill in the bottom 4 of the division, I'd question that (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:23:38
        
        Let's not forget though that... (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 27, 11:30:20
        
        That is one of the truest posts I have ever read. (n/m) (NCFC) - bobble, Apr 27, 06:29:17
        
        I would be very shocked of (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:30:11
        
        Argh I can't type on my phone (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:31:52
        
        I think we must be. Only Palace, Hull and (maybe) Cardiff below us (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:39:40
        
        Our tactic going forward was give the ball to Snod and pray (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:25:45
        
        I think we had tactics under Hughton (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:21:39
        
        Who adopted "attacking tactics" away from home? It was Hughton! (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 01:25:31
        
        well yes, which looks like a mistake (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:31:31
        
        Hughton's defensive away tactics have led us to be the worst team away from home. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 01:36:22
        
        i don't agree with that (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:39:46
        
        Couldn't score goals. The strikers Chris bought didn't deliver and that's cost us. (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 01:44:19
        
        yes, that's certainly one of the major problems (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:49:06
        
        Can't agree about Holt. He was finished by Hughton (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 01:53:56
        
        well, why has Holt been hopeless for Wigan and Villa this season? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:56:58
        
        Motivation. He's left the club he was adored at. All downhill from there really (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 02:00:58
        
        We got rid at the right time anyway. He was getting old and had lost his mojo here. (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 02:02:39
        
        He could see this all coming a mile away. Playing under Hughton must be joyless experience (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 02:05:49
        
        he handed in a transfer request before Hughton was even appointed (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 02:07:21
        
        BS... Holt got 8 goals last season... it is hardly his fault (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:51:20
        
        We didn't win though. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:41:35
        
        26 goals, what on earth was Hughton doing in training.... (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:38:34
        
        Hughton didn't even know his best XI 3/4 through the season (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:33:45
        
        I'm not sure the idea of a first XI exists for a club like us (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:35:12
        
        bizarre because that's not what happened during the 1 win in 18 last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:36:42
        
        Boom! This, I'm afraid, is spot on (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:25:23
        
        The players had become tired and the coaching staff complacent (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:27:52
        
        The players have a new voice now. Yet we're actually getting worse (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:30:28
        
        Sadly there is neither the time or correct fixtures for the new man to do anything (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:32:32
        
        He's actually had them playing well in 2 halves of 2 games (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:35:54
        
        I think we were clueless in the final third under Hughton (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:23:26
        
        Notice you fail (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:23:12
        
        Ffs (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:24:08
        
        Nobody on here knows what went on in the dressing room (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Apr 27, 10:14:41
        
        Not really sure what you mean by motivation (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:28:21
        
        tbh we have looked complacent all season. Like a bunch of prima donnas who have made it (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:30:37
        
        well, that's your interpretation (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:34:03
        
        We haven't missed many key chances, we've barely had any. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:39:20
        
        I don't think we have created the least chances (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:44:36
        
        Of course it is! (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:50:38
        
        And how do you work on your defence? (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 27, 11:37:25
        
        I think it's a lazy argument to say the manager is responsible for strikers missing chance (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:54:46
        
        I agree about 60% or so. The other 40% says that in happy, confident sides, the goals come (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:57:19
        
        I think it's a lot about momentum and runs of form as well (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:59:55
        
        Just a question.. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 02:03:23
        
        of course - he has to take a fair share of the responsibility (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 02:06:37
        
        Fair enough, agree he has us looking ok at home. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 02:11:23
        
        Had* (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 02:13:08
        
        That 11th place finish really papered over the cracks of a terrible 2013 for the club (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 02:10:41
        
        also - a particular bugbear of mine (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 02:09:41
        
        You know what I think, I thought he did ok here - far too focussed on defense (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 02:13:06
        
        haha! I wouldn't believe it even if he claims he does! (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 02:05:47
        
        He dropped Hooper for his mistake against Cardiff (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:56:40
        
        How do you know that? (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:57:39
        
        It is pretty clear as day... given defensive mistakes are all Hughton ever goes on about (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:59:01
        
        Yes, as he signed these players. Although I would add (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:47:03
        
        we've been rubbish all season... as as Hughton showed last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:35:07
    - I think we massively over-achieved in both of the previous two seasons (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:17:05
      - We needed a motivator, Hughton was too relaxed. Lambert was a disciplinarian (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 01:22:20
        
        I think it's a bit simplistic to see it like that (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:25:27
        
        I'm not talking about Villa. At Norwich he had players running through brick walls. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 27, 01:27:54
        
        you don't know that there would have been a 2nd season syndrome under Lambert (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:26:36
      - Our players, on paper are much better than Palace's (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:21:30
        
        Palace's players aren't good enough either. What's going on there is freakish (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:27:28
        
        Ok compare us to Hull. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:33:38
        
        Well - frankly, yes. It's their greatest season since I don't know when (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:41:05
        
        I think it's difficult to compare with a team in their first season up (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:37:55
        
        Is there anyone we are allowed to be compared to? (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 27, 01:44:40
        
        you can compare us to anyone you like (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 27, 01:46:57
        
        Agree. That's exactly it. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 27, 01:41:54
        
        Well... palace had no bloody momentum... ffs (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:39:31
        
        How about Cardiff who blew their massive budget on average players (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 27, 01:36:08

        Results in general were lambert... (Other Football) - loz, Apr 26, 20:44:39

        No. we went on seemingly endless winless runs under Hughton (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 26, 21:11:02
