Aye, The Pinkun is full of absolute muppets. NorwichTalk is our sensible forum which has a higher calibre of contributions and smaller minority of idiots. I wasn't aware you'd had some of the idiots migrate over here (wasn't one called "FirstWizard" or "Wiz" was there? He's infamous as the Pinkun's biggest kn*bhead, and has a habit of trolling other clubs forums). Most of us aren't like that.

We won't get rid of Adams yet. He won the FA Youth cup (in quite spectacular fashion) with our academy for the first time in 30 years, and has been around the club for 20 years now, he has a lot of good will from the fans. Mike Phelan coming in as assistant has done much to alleviate the concerns about Adams lack of experience. We had a rocky couple of months but have won 3 (including a 5-0 and a 6-1), and drawn one (away to Derby) in our last 5. He's safe for a fair while yet.

"Yet" =2 days!:lolol::lolol:

"He presided over a record transfer spend, then employed awful, negative tactics and never had a plan B." ........

How does this resonate?....

My main problems with him was the negative, horrible football, lack of Plan B, (at Easter in his first season, we went 4 of 6 games without registering a shot on or off target) and absolute ineptitude with subs. He made 64 subs last year before any of them came on and scored, or even got an assist. No other manager in any division managed to have such little impact when making subs last season.

Any club that has spent a significant time out of the Premier League will have a record spend when promoted. What resonates is how well Norwich have done since sacking Hughton...

We've had two of the best seasons we've ever had under Hughton. Lots of goals, attacking often direct football, fantastic team spirit. A half season struggle in the Premier League does not alter history. Nor does it change the lack of depth Norwich had, and the troubles they've had since.

It's what a lot of our fans are saying, but quote another part of the post, where Norwich had 32 points when Hughton was sacked, but got relegated on 33. They gained just one point after he went.

Because like us this season, Norwich's run in consisted of only playing teams CH had showed intention of beating.

They beat Spurs and got a point against Man City(c) in February.

Interesting though that 7 teams got 38 points or less that season. 34 points was safety.

Meopham, Kent.
He did do some good things in the first season, we went on a 10 game unbeaten run, and put several of the big boys to the sword.

That suggests to me he's prepared to do it, as long as he believes he has the players to pull it off. Second year when "he" spent on those strikers, maybe it wasn't his call, they weren't his 1st choice, or simply didn't like the look of them so much when he saw them at closer quarters. Works with what he's got / given.
