Wouldnt it be great if WE the supporters could own the club.
You can my friend. Just take £20m or so out of your piggy bank to buy the shares, another £5m to cover this years losses and arrange overdraft facilities to cover losses for the next few seasons if the fans get it wrong and we don't go back into the Premiership. Easy isn't it.

I think that's a hideous idea personally.
As someone that has work in the gambling industry for the last 18 years the 16-1 price for Uwe Rosler would indicate that Carabuh and Supers will be dissapointed again and start getting on the new guy's back if we don't beat the Cherries on Saturday.
Our 2 resident experts will no doubt be sharpening their knives within minutes of the new guy's appointment as per script.

Why? I think Adams is the only managerial appointment I've not been understanding of in 25 years. I could even understand why they gave the gig to Gunn, though I didn't agree with it. There are plenty of people out there who I would be happy to see get the job.
 
I personally find comments like 'well if you were actually at the game you would know that changes should have been made by half time' when a poster is watching the same game on tv or a stream.
Or 'well if you get your information from wikipedia' when discussing the CV of a potential manager to be a tad harsh and patronising.

Ignore away but i don't bother as ignorance is pretty arrogant IMHO.
I have nothing against any other poster on here but can see when some believe that their opinions are superior to others I don't claim to know better than anyone but consider myself quite well informed due to researching potential players on youtube or managers on wiki just because you sit in the same seat every week in the Barclay end it doesn't give you more insight into the running of the club.
you definitely do! the word 'but' is quite a big giveaway
 
Watching a game on a stream is not the same as being at the match though SN.
We can all have comments about what we see and what the cameras show us, but when you are at the match you see more of what is happening off the ball.
I watched most of our games on a stream over the last couple of years, but when I did manage to get to an actual game, it frightened me how bad we actually were off the ball.
This is what the cameras don't show, and COULD be what other people at the game see that us or have to rely on streams see.
Precisely. It might not please some who are unable to get to games g=for whatever reason, but it IS easier to assess your side when you go to the games. That's not arrogance. That's just how it is. And if I'm not pleased with what I'm seeing I will damn-well say so on here. Likewise, if I am pleased, I let the world know. Not had much chance to do that in the last couple of years sadly.
 
oh and if this Alex Neil gets the job you could probably add that to the list.

Honestly if this guy gets it then I would seriously consider giving up my season ticket after 28 years.FFS!!!
 
this is not the time to be taking a gamble on a new young manager, we had that at the start of the season with NA and is the last thing we want again. The players have already showed they need a father figure to guide them, i can only see this ending up in more tears. DM had the chance before xmas to get the right man in, Pulis was the man for me for the simple reason i would totally be happy with him at the helm in the PL, he is proven at that level, none of these other name being mentioned are, IMO it shows our ambition if this does actually happen.

Nothing like giving somebody a fair crack of the whip is there?
 
This to me cries out of a club, a board, who are yearning for a Lambert Mk2. Someone young, hungry with a track record at a lower level.

Question is, is that what we need?

For me, the situation in the summer was crying out for experience and it still is. He's a promising manager by the looks of things but this is another huge gamble to get the best out of our talented but ego-driven players.

Every appointment is a gamble but as we've seen down the road, experience gets you a long way in this division.

Would certainly get behind him but I'm afraid that if he were to be appointed in the first place it just confirms the same ol' same, ol' "little Norwich with no ambition" approach IMO

Blimey Supers I've now wholeheartedly agreed with your last two posts <yikes>

At the time we could have got Pulis City had, in the previous 4 games, won 2 home games 6-1 and 5-0, an away game 1-0 and drawn away at Derby having been the better team. Everybody assumed that the arrival of Phelan had got us back on track - on what basis could you have sacked Adams then? People, including yourself, keep referring to an ambitious appointment - who, realistically, in your eyes, would represent an 'ambitious appointment' ?
