    The first few minutes of that video, the Norwich guy says that on paper the signings we made - like Jackson - look to be the right way to go about it.

    But we jettisoned that after a wobbly start, resorted to loans and journeymen and that’s the reason we are where we are now.

    I was absolutely in favour of banking the Waghorn cash so impossible to argue with that for me.

    This could massively back-fire if we get pumped!

    Why we should be grateful to PL and not boo him - 'Some want to greet him with scorn when he shows up with our inept neighbours for the last ever Old Farm league derby, but without him, I doubt we’d have a club to be exultant about. After all, it was in real and imminent danger when he arrived in 2009. City’s debts stood at £23m. Most of the money was owed to two organisations: AXA and Bank of Scotland. They wanted their money back and insisted that the club call in accountants Deloitte and property consultants King Sturge — the former to see if there was any money to be made by any means possible, and the latter to look at whether Carrow Road and/or Colney should be sold.
    When the accounts for 2008-09 were published, the club’s own auditors reported that there were doubts about Norwich City being able to continue as “a going concern
    ”.

    Here's my take on the "do we boo Lambert" thing...
    He's the most successful manager Norwich have had in a generation and one of the very few who can add back-to-back promotions to their CV. What he achieved at Norwich picking up a team on it's knees and transforming them into a team that didn't look out of place in the Premier League was amazing. He rightly earned his place in the NCFC hall of fame along while attracting all sorts of attention from the wider football world. It's no wonder he was lured away, as no doubt will Herr Farke if he continues Norwich on it's current trajectory.

    I don't blame Lambert for moving on when he did. The style of it left much to be desired but it happens. He's not a Norwich fan in the same way Webber has been very clear about that too. It's a job / career and there will always be one eye on what's next. It's the way you go about it that matters. So, whilst I won't be there this weekend, I hope Norwich fans will give him a warm #welcome back. Rise above it and show a bit of c1a5s

    Webber would do well to have a glance back at Huddersfield and how the German revolution there has gone into a tailspin and Wagner gone.
    Farke hasn't signed a contract yet because he knows he will be in a stronger bargaining position "IF" we go up with all the TV money coming into the club .

    It's what they achieve while in charge of your club that matters, not what went before or after.
    Support for the current team / gaffer will be worth far, far more on Sunday than wasting time digging up what is effectively ancient history - which is a particularly galling 1P5wich trait, after all.

    I don't think Webber needs to glance back when he was there he saw it coming and jumped ship.

    Take banners thanking Culverhouse and Karsa for what they did for the club.
