I think Dan has his man if this is the case

At least an agreement in principle

You may all carry on with what you were doing

:pompous:

you cant replace Bale. It was never going to happen.

What we did IMO was the right thing and brought in good players and young players who will (or should) improve.
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.

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.

Sherwood has said he can't say much right now.

About f**king time.

If Levy can wangle some kind of 'hush' clause in TS' severance contract, I'd genuinely be forever grateful.

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..
