I am in camp Tony. He is probably better placed to call our shots than a Naarwich fan.

I think that Norwich supporter needs to take another look at what those five games were! I think the first was against Fulham which they lost and then they had Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal!

Or, indeed, spanking us 5-0 in revenge.
I wasn't saying he should know better than TB. This whole thread is about Norwich fans negativity towards Hughton. I was only pointing out not all Norwich fans are of that mind.
I certainly hope TB is right and have no option other than trust in him. Despite personally thinking this was a big mistake in sacking Hughton. I can only hope TB is right afterall he knows the club much better than me.

Sorry, I read it as "For to me to live is Chris, and to die is gain"
[ Besides,. 'Dying as gain' does come over a bit Islamic State, IMHO. ]
I will look the other way until you've finished...

No in the context of that verse.
Paul was referring to the how he was not bothered about having his life threatened on account of his faith.

Never trust what you read on the internet. Never. Fact.
I can't help thinking that this thread is fast degenerating into one of NSC's best ever. A fine homage to what we all truly feel about the role of Norwich City in our lives.

On his last warning
Norwich can go back to their pedestrianised city centre for all I care. CH took us to the Prem and kept us there. He did a great job when you consider the low standard in players he had to work with. Now its time for a manager who'll take us from survival to top ten contenders with the new players we're going to bring in .
Like Slade and Gritt, CH was eventually sacked, but like Slade and Gritt, CH will always go down as a club legend. The masters of survival.

There's truth in what you say, but ultimately he has been shown the door by our chairman because of the same reasons he lost his job at Norwich. A terminal decline. It cost them, it didn't cost us because of Cardiff failing to capitalise.
TB has made a call based on the belief that it probably WILL cost us next time with survival predicted to be particularly difficult next season. As soon as the going got tough under CH we utterly capitulated, the body language was there for all to see as Chris stood there motionless on the touchline.
Personally, I was only very briefly 'CH out' immediately after the Cardiff game which I filed under knee-jerk. Having said that I do fully understand those who turned, and I understand the decision made by TB. To not recognise just how woeful we were is to amend history, and ultimately we were saved by Fulham's keeper as Cardiff could so easily have won that game. Not to mention, this team looks completely different when the pressure is off which leads me to believe, had Cardiff actually beaten Fulham, we might very well have rolled over for Newcastle too. Not that Cardiff would have needed it mind.
I wonder if people would be remembering certain aspects of his reign slightly differently if we were preparing for a Championship season ahead.

Why do you say that? You know full well that it’s not a single game that decides it. They are all worth the same.
I think a lot of us are disappointed as there were something quite ‘right’ about Chris’ fit with us as a club. And now that has been somewhat sullied by the way the club have gone about this. Some of the romance died today and I hope that the new manager hits the ground running, as they are likely to be under some serious scrutiny.
The only good thing is that it’s been done at the ideal time - but I wish they’d planned it better

You are not alone in thinking that firing Hughton is a big mistake. How do you (and the others) come to that verdict? He has had a whole season to show some progress but has taken us backwards. What have you seen from his team this season that makes Tony Bloom's decision a big mistake? Even in the midst of a tense relegation battle he couldn't motivate his players to score goals against a number of sides having massive problems themselves on the pitch.
Watching him in the technical area on matchdays, with his hands in his pockets for the match used to infuriate me. He'd sometimes whistle at the team but that was just to remind them that they were too far forward. Compare that to Guardiola when they were 3-1 up. Guardiola was coaching his team all the time.
Thanks Chris, for getting us promoted. For that you have our respect and thanks. Time to move on now.
