Punches Thrown in Devon?

By: David | Comments 1 Comment

Was the reason that Norwich City’s players were gagged from talking to the press over the last week due to reports that Bryan Gunn and Ian Butterworth traded punches on the training ground while in Devon? Therefore Gunny was sacked and had to make his own way back to Norfolk. Butterworth has walked this week. All parties remain tight lipped. Any thoughts people?

Lawrie Sanchez?

By: David | Comments 2 Comments

Is the next manager at laughing stock fc to be Lawrie Sanchez following his excellent record with teams in the doldrums with lower league Wycombe, and Northern Ireland. The obvious link that he has a Fulham connection with our new Chief Executive David McNally puts Sanchez firmly in the frame I think.

Gunn Gets Bullet

By: David | Comments 4 Comments

Norwich City today sensationally sacked manager Bryan Gunn on the eve of City’s first away league game of the season. The Club has only played two games this season. Admittedly they were a 7-1 home thrashing at the hands of also rans Colchester, the Club’s worst ever home defeat and the worst display of goalkeeping and defending ever witnessed in senior football. The second game was the 4-0 win over Yeovil in the first round of the League Cup. Although you can only beat what’s put in front of you, it was hardly a tough test. Read the rest of this entry »

Main Man Signs

By: David | Comments Add Comments

City finally landed the elusive front man in the rebuilding jigsaw headache on Friday afternoon. Grant Holt joins for an estimated £400k (the fashionable ‘undisclosed fee’ strikes again) from Shrewsbury Town on a three year deal with the option of a fourth year held by the Club. With Bryan Gunn being linked with the player almost as soon as he took over the reigns it’s good to see Holt here as he brings a fine goal scoring pedegree coupled with desire to succeed Read the rest of this entry »

Stay Strong John Hartson

By: David | Comments Add Comments

With John Hartson having been diagnosed with testicular cancer that has spread to his brain and lungs I want to offer him and his family our thoughts and prayers. Despite only playing six games for Norwich, Hartson made a very significant contribution coming off the bench in 2007 home game against the scum to turn the game and get both assists in the 2-2 draw with us having been 2-0 down at half time. The club was in the infancy of the rodent regime at the time and being rooted to the foot of the league by eight points. Hardly an easy move for a player of Hartson’s calibre but one that he embraced and was perhaps unlucky not to get more game time. Although he didn’t have the speed his wily football brain and superb close ball control shone through on the pitch for us, class really is permanent. All the best John for your battle. We wish you well, you can beat it. You’ve a big heart, Big Hart.
