Yorkie Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 They managed three on the bounce between 2011-14. Grant Holtcyon days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one and only time I have ever placed a bet on a football match was Norwich against Newcastle, Carrow Road, 2011. Even watched the game with a few mates at the Victory on whatever moderately legit Albanian coverage they had at the time. I thought, why the hell not, we can do this, Grant Holt may very well be in good form but we've got a manager who knows a thing or two about full backs. Aye, who better than to man mark man-mountain (and future wrestler) Grant Holt in central defence than non other than Danny chuffing Simpson. I think we all know what happened next. Fuck you, Alan Pardew, fuck you. A phrase that can never, ever be said enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought them up to the SPL but they were the only club with money and a sizeable fan base. Once in the SPL the only opposition were Celtic who were skint and at rock bottom. I lived up in Scotland for a number of years and the standard of football, even with the top two teams, was atrocious. I have a feeling he may found out at Villa, as Lampard was at Chelsea and the Villa fans are not patient Gerrard didn't get them promoted, I'm sure it was Warburton They had finished 3rd and then he was appointed, he finished 2nd two seasons in a row before winning the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Good appointment that. Would be mildly amusing if Norwich stayed up at Villa’s expense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 That's the most boring appointment ever, I hope they get relegated and never get back up as punishment. Jesus fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Personally think it is a very solid appointment for them. He will do well their (in respect of getting them back up when they go down). He's a solid manager, not sure what else Norwich can/should be doing appointment wise tbh.

George Bailey Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 He will work well within a budget, improve players who aren't 'mega stars', have a decent relationship with their fans and generally have them better drilled and able to change tactics in games when needed (unlike Farke). Pretty solid. Time will tell but I think he will do more than okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
