The Time for Change

With a defeat to Reading in the past, I find myself writing with a degree of worry and optimism. My worry is the shared concern of every Norwich City fan the world over, a worry over the an uncertain future. The uncertainty of league position and what will actually happen if relegated. Will we react like Leicester and bounce right back up or will we have the trails and trepidations that for instance, a Leeds Utd fan has to go through.

Whatever happens Sunday is beyond many peoples control. All that the collective fan base can do is keep supporting the club, both through voice and through the wallet (an annoying fact of life). Change is needed whether survival is achieved or not. The board need to pull their fingers out of their collective rear-ends and show sense, direction and above all else, a stable financial strategy. What is the point in fire selling players like Sammy Clingan and David Marshall if all we will have left is sub-standard replacement. While I do not live with the delusion of all of our players staying if we drop into League 1, I do live in hope that our board will show enough guts and determination for promotion that certain players will stay for one more season if relegated.

If not relegated, change is still essential. I feel while Gunn and Co have done their best with their inherited players but experience is key and that is one thing that Gunn et al lack. While I do not doubt their commitment, I do doubt their ability. I am not going to start saying who I think should manage the club because I have neither the resources or tools to work out who is right for the job. I just hope the board do not royally screw their decision up again. Grant and Roedor, need I say more.
