If we manage 16th, I would not be too bothered at what happens at the other end of the table.
We just have to live with the fact that over the last 10 years, Norwich have been a better run club than we have. Still never won anything, obviously. |  | | |

After reading Harry's piece on them, I am genuinely envious of how they view the manager. If what they are saying about him and his philosophy is correct then fck me, makes MM like like a school dinner lady | |

Us 16th is fair. Can't see the bottle jobs down the road winning the league though. They're as much as a wild card this season given the level of change and unproven personnel as they have been for a while. They might fly, but they could not. I would say Boro will win it at a canter. Then Villa, Fulham, Hull, Sheff Wed, Norwich are all much of a muchness. Even Derby and Wolves maybe. |  |

Norwich have taken a massive gamble, and if it doesn't pay off, they're no better off than we are.
Did make me laugh in Harry's article they referred to the 90s as their glory years. They won nothing and spent roughly half the decade in the second tier. |  |

Norwich have taken a gamble in the hope they do a Huddersfield. However, as itfcjoe has alluded to on many occasions, people forget that Wagner had 6 months to implement his style etc at Huddersfield, before having his first full season in charge which resulted in promotion.
I seriously hope, it all goes wrong for them. |  |

Take the club in question out of the equation, as a fan it would be exciting to see how it pans out. A complete change to club structure/transfer strategy/style of play. Might work, might not. But it's a journey. Who knows what will happen, where they'll finish in the league.
I know how we'll play, the structure is set in stone and I know the type of player we'll look to purchase and know which league/country they'll be purchased from. Pretty sure we'll finish somewhere between 16th and 20th. | |

Wagner had 6 months but Farke has a squad with significantly more quality already in place and players generally suited to the possession, one touch passing game that he's trying to implement.
I said on another thread I went to their Brighton game and they've managed to completely change they playing style effectively and they looked extremely comfortable doing so.
That Farke manager literally screams at defenders if they dare to hoof the ball out as a clearance - the midfield always ensure there's a pass on.
Saying all that, I don't expect them to finish top. | | | |

I can only imagine how much you'd moan if we took that gamble and got relegated.
We're dealing with a fine margin with the tiny budget we have | |

I don't accept that at all re. Norwich. There are not many Norwich fans who would agree either.
Over the last 10 years, they have made some terrible decisions. Appointing Gunny as manager, Adams, Falling out with Lambert, waiting too long to sack Gunny, Neil Adams and Alex Neil.
They made a great appointment with Lambert, who transformed their fortunes.
But, once in the Prem, they totally failed to capitalise on all the additional income they have received. They fell out with Lambert (arguably the best manager in their history), should have stayed in the Prem - they had the players to stay there, but just screwed it up - and then should have been promoted last season but again screwed it up. |  |

At least they are trying to improve things including their style of football , unlike us who seem to be in a time warp .
To be honest I'm more interested in what ITFC do this season than anything that NCFC do . | | | |

I think there are a huge number of ITFC fans who would like something like this to happen, just for a change of the monotomy - see how much excitement there was when linked to Steijn.
However, I can see why Evans won't take that gamble - being in the Championship is clearly number 1 and only priority at the moment.
i do worry that a bad start is going to leave the club up sh*t creek without a paddle though - club/team in a bad position, Mick gone and then we will do what we always do and appoint an experienced head rather than someone exciting and different and they'll have too much to do. |  |

That's the issue really. The only circumstances I can see Mick leaving early is by us doing spectacularly badly that he walks or ME has no choice but to pull the trigger. If that's the case, he'll plump for another journeyman manager with the odd promotion on his CV and we're back to square one. In some respects I hope we do sail through to a respectable finish, Mick leaves with some dignity at the end of his contract and ME shows some balls to recruit a fresh, different style of coach with the luxury of a full pre season to work on his ideas. | |

To be fair they are making these presumptions before he has managed a competitive game.
At least as likely to flop than to succeed. |  |

That is what I was hoping would happen last year, a mutual parting of the ways once safe - a nice dignified exit for Mick and a chance for someone new to come in and have a proper running start at things.
Mick managed to stave off a downward spiral for 5 years, under Evans the previous incumbents have managed 18 months to 2 years before looking totally shot.
Obviously ideal scenario is Mick rediscovering tempo and pace/power we played with in 14/15 and the team becoming much better than sum of our parts but can't imagine even the most optimistic of town fans is expecting that | |

Agree with this. Opportunity was there this Summer to part company and try something new but wasn't taken. Now we're left hoping the signings Mick has made will turn things around and quickly, as it could all go very rapidly downhill if not |  |

Bear in mind that FourFourTwo was conceived and founded by a big Naaarridge fan and a pal of Delia's. I used to enjoy it back in the day, but it has always been a budgie rag.
16th is a good shout for Town, though. |  |
