I have a few connections close to norwich. David McNally is a very very shrewd operator. The decision to sack hughton was a few months too late but he had to act now to get the bounce effect a new manager sometimes has - they were gone if hughton stayed. There is zero chance he would even consider appointing sherwood. Norwich is a family club with a good image. Sherwood would ruin that image by his first press conference.

Dont be surprised to see Eddie Howe or Steve McClaren get that job next season.

That made me laugh so hard.

Jamie Redknapp has a massive chip on his shoulder since we sacked his dad. My God I can't stand listening to him. All his comments always relate to "i know the bloke" "he's a mate" etc..

Yeah which gives him a completely balanced insight to what's actually going on. Football is so annoying.

I think it was inevitable
It is about retaining players they want to keep Talk of Lloris Vertonghen etc going
About the ST renewals with lack of confidence in next year with TS and cant afford for them to be slow be paid up

DL will have scars from previous experience waiting for people; probably forcing LVG's hand Igf he says no he has time for somebody else Waiting to the close season would have been disastrous

Is this a comment about van Gaal's involvement at the World Cup, or about @Archibald&Crooks' bowel problems again?

Indeed, A&C is preparing to visit his toilet.

Is LVG involved in the World cup?

Need to get this faction of old boys out of our club. Faux-spurs men, who are just along for the ride. The management and coaching setup is a by-product of the era where we signed has been players in the mid 2000s. Ginola: yes, Redknapp: no. I'm fine with having old payers in and around the club and coaching setup, its important. But they have to be the right ones.

Losers as players embed a losing culture. Get rid.

Was this stage to fast for him?

Wise words Tim, that is actually a good answer.

It is true...

would guess (as you said, if it is true) that someone else wrote it for him....

still reeling from the shock...or not...couldn't they have waited a few hours so it could be jol 2007 all over again...it was a classy move for us to know during a game back then, why not do it again Levy?!!

Club haven't confirmed it. A press office does not have the authority to give a categorical statement without confirmation from decision makers

The rumor must have started through someone at the club right? I just think its amateurish to disrupt the teams preparation with all the innuendo flying around. Its also disrespectful to Sherwood and pretty unprofessional no matter what you think of him.

i said earlier i think it was a case of something may be coming so the press office give selective heads up to members of the press that a press release or conference or something is coming out in the near future and to be ready for it....Sky just ran with the story to ensure they were the first to "break" the story.

Sky could care less that the story coincides with our game later today they just want the viewers, for us it was a calculated risk that someone would run with it.

No, the guy was passionate about us, I wont knock him for that.

You could see how shell shocked and hurt he was when we had those big defeats, I think he genuinely cares for the club. But, he clearly was not the man for the job... For the various reasons that I and half the posters on SC have said.

I have agreed with some of things he has said, but then other things have been gob-smackingly shocking.

This is one of the good and sensible things he has said and I think they are his genuine words.

Unfortunately, we are an amateurish club.

There is probably someone at the club involved but they could well be acting beyond their brief but it could just be an ITK looking to cause mischief

Right so when does the next 5 year plan start ?

Drexl · Apr 7, 2014

"sky sports news understands" or "our sources understand" usually means it is a slow news day and they like to make up bollocks

Sky have a terrible record of getting things right

Unfair to bash Levy/Cullen atm

Didn't stop TS doing it to AVB though.

What goes around comes around.

About 10 years ago IIRC

You cannot replace a player like Bale with a like for like, that is not what I said. But we did not sign a player who could come in and provide that much needed spark to win a match who was likely to hit the ground running this season.

Now the real question is, did we know that the players we got would be a "next season or later" deal and if so, why did we sack AVB? (Rhetorical to a degree as I am sure it was for more than footballing reasons).

The fact remains we had 100M from the Bale sale and did not fill the hole he left and yet still had aspirations of finishing 4th or higher for this season.

There's no guarantee that any player we sign will hit the ground running, all players take a while to settle, even Bale himself. What is guaranteed though, is that if you sign a player for £25-£30m and then hardly even play him, he's definitely not going to be able to provide a spark to win games.

Lamela was the player we signed who could have provided that spark to win games, as he did in Italy. But considering AVB preferred to have him watching on from the bench for 90% of the time it was never likely to happen.

Didn't SSN understand that Puyol was signing for Tottenham ?
