Just to add about short and long term plans in football
There are no long term plans in football for a club like ours
Some say that we should forget about promotion, take our time and build a team from youth that will compete in the long term
At the end of the day the game is about the present here and now, not jam tomorrow which never comes.
Promotion even with a crap team that gets hammered will bring money into the club. The real currency in football is money not style of play. Norwich have raided the top division once again, and the rewards of a big war chest that will keep them going for a few more years and keep them competitive in our division.
Gone are the days when you could mould a young team and manager and watch them develop together.
Most of our promising kids ( and other clubs ) get picked off anyway well before they mature.

I feel your pain man!

For 14 yrs we had Mike Ashley leeching the cash & culture out of club.

The game is all about money you are correct. Bringing in a 'never was' (has been eludes to a time when Cabbage was a good manager - he has never been a good manager, stats don't lie) manager is a real scrape of the barrel.

I hear your frustration and I feel for you guys I really do. As I said my dad follows the baggies so I wouldn't wish cabbage on anyone, even, dare I say it, the Mackems again!

One of those footballing dinosaurs who like Pardew, Curbishly, Fat Sam, McClaren etc etc should be no where near a football management role in either of the top 2 divisions!

Sadly the old boys network keeps getting these deadbeats work.

bare in mind Cabbage scooped £6 quid getting fired after sending us into the bottom 3 and keeping us there all season. It's outrageous that these useless old managers are constantly being rewarded for Failure!

Disgusting especially in this day and age when people are struggling to make ends meet!

Bruce has been given an 18 month contract, so not too long a term. Hopefully, it will see us through to when the club has a new owner (wishful thinking, maybe) and hopefully then, the club may be able to retry some of its old reputation. As I have said many, many times before, the manager is largely irrelevant whilst we have the awful chinaman owning our once great club. Chinese ******* owners, what on Earth have we become?
