It seems like our “project” has changed. I feel next season with Manning it is all about getting promoted and it’s now less about blending in youngsters. Manning is clearly ambitious and with a couple of decent summer signings I think he’ll get a tune out of this squad.

Wilshere is at the wheel

Jacob Wright however looked like he’s definitely playing here next season. Waving at the Barclay touching the badge etc.

Having just got home from Carrow road I got the impression Nunez and Sainz are leaving. Both were in with the fans after the game doing selfies and signing shirts etc. let’s hope Knapper has some replacements in mind.

Hammering Cardiff might help his cause.

I think every Norwich fan would be stunned if Jack Wilshere doesn’t get the head coaches full time next week. Strangely after his press conferences etc I’ve warmed to him getting the job especially if he can attract some experience in his back room staff.

My Dad went, he’s 72

He’s 33/1 as well

Someone must be betting on Gary ONeil, I’d be ok with him as the next Norwich manager, one thing for sure is, he’s more experienced than Jack Wilshere.

He obviously didn’t want to be here but I totally agree. He’d have played a big part this season as backup to Sarge.

McConville to start, no George Long and no Marcondes

Ha ha, Gunn is back so I’d assume he’s starting?

20 minutes until the first Wilshere #NCFC starting 11.

Are we expecting changes? Or will it be pretty much the same line up?

Will the players respond with a performance?

It really does feel like Jack Wilshere is going to get the head coaches position at #NCFC full time soon.

I’m not sure he’s the man for the job but I would be interested in who would be in his back room staff.

The Daily Mail are reporting that Leeds are due to sack him and appoint a new manager before next season

Come on Knapper, bring him home #NCFC

I doubt he was in the initial betting list.

My money is on Wilshire TBH

22.04.2025 12:38 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

Steven Gerrard 14/1
Wayne Rooney 25/1
Chris Hughton 33/1
John Terry 33/1
Gareth Southgate 33/1

Not sure what to make of this early list #NCFC

One thing is for sure, at FCR before Christmas we played some really decent stuff and scored some cracking goals. Lots of goals. I’m not sure publicly dropping Duffy and Onel was ever going to end well. Maybe the job was just too big for them at this point in their careers?

Or do we go for a number 2 or coach at one of the Prem clubs like Ipswich did?

Or will we scour the world and then permanently appoint Wilshire?

Earn your money Knapper

One would assume that Russell Martin and Gary O’Neil will be heavily linked with the managers job?

Or is Knapper going to go for another foreign manager we’ve barely heard about?

It’s seems to most of us who’ve watched the games that there was a disconnect between him and the players which was never going to get better.

It certainly is now Wilshire is in charge

I heard a rumour that we had nearly agreed a deal with Kjetil Knutsen before Webber suddenly changed his mind and went for Smith.

I forgot about Marquinos. He was dreadful.

I totally understand the Brexit thing, I’m questioning the clubs due diligence. They were bragging about the deal, sending coaches to him to keep him fit etc and he’s only managed about 25 minutes on the pitch since.
