Super_horns Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May 15 minutes ago, ramboacdc said: How BBC are reporting it, they say he was on borrowed time. He turned them round pretty well didn't he? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpvg3kz91ngo Norwich City have sacked boss David Wagner less than 24 hours after their crushing Championship play-off defeat by Leeds. BBC Sport understands the Canaries have acted following Thursday's 4-0 semi-final second-leg loss which left them facing a third successive season in the second tier. Arsenal coach Carlos Cuesta is of interest as a replacement having worked with sporting director Ben Knapper when he was loans manager at the Gunners. Wagner was on borrowed time after Knapper replaced Stuart Webber in November but managed to guide the Canaries to a sixth-placed finish. An official club statement is expected later on Friday. He had a dodgy spell but as you say they did fine I thought. Seems they wanted promotion and nothing else ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May It's weird really, I don't think anyone predicted Norwich to finish in the playoffs this season, but they did. However, they were absolutely hopeless last night and were genuinely one of the worst teams to have come to our place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a great release for many and people's football clubs offer so much to an individual. However, Leeds and their fans can **** off. Horrible club, horrible fans. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballwipe Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May As ever with sackings that look weird on the face of it, headed over to the Norwich forum and none of them are particularly surprised or sad by it. Few actively wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc278 Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May The way they set up and played in the first leg at home I think it's probably justified. Seemed to be so negative and had no urgency to get forward or to try and take the game to Leeds. Knowing that the away leg at Elland Road was going to be difficult they had to try and nick something at home but he seemed happy to just avoid defeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May Not strange at all. He is far to a defensive manager. Worked okay at Huddersfield, massively overachieved there, but with Norwich it's totally different. I know a lot of their fanbase haven't been happy all season. Don't forget he was under pressure early on given their early season form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May (edited) I wonder if Norwich will make a push to try and get Mark Robins. Though wouldn't be surprised if it's Gary Rowett or Scott Parker. Edited 17 May by Leicesterpool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich don't have much money so he be a great choice. I always liked Norwich. Even more when Delia put all her money in to save them. I hope they do well next year.

Finnegan Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May Where exactly were Norwich expecting to be finish this season? Besides getting up staged by Ipswich he's not done much wrong. They're objectively worse than Leeds, Leicester and Southampton. What exactly are they expecting. They seem to be the only club that haven't gotten the message this season just straight up isn't fair for most of the Championship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May Fans never really took to him, was closely linked to the previous director of football who was very unpopular. I don't think the new manager will do significantly better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCJohn Posted 17 May Share Posted 17 May Wagner going seems like one of those they outsiders will look and slate Norwich without having a clue. We have been there ourselves. It’s not necessarily to do with entitlement that they expected to go up. They just seem to roll over in big games and not even have a go. Must be really frustrating for their fans. Fair play to them for being decisive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's over egging the pudding. We got two highly rated young players from CL teams. Ruben Neves was the big one, having captained Porto in the Champions League at a young age, but he still wasn't a regular starter for Porto. Diogo Jota was sent out on loan by Atletico Madrid before he came to us and was just a good young player with potential. Jimenez wasn't any kind of star outside of Mexico and didn't have a great goal record at Benfica, plus we didn't sign him until we got promoted the season after any way. Plus you didn't go complaining to the PL and EFL and tweeting how unfair it was unlike Radrizzani at Leeds. Edited 20 May by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
