Another season of disappointment

If results go our way, or not, depanding on your point of view, Norwich will be relegated back to the Championship.

After another pre-season that promised something different to come, all we got was more of the same. Which was losing and conceding lots of goals and making mistakes.

Norwich spent over £50million, and we hoped that would be enough to fire us up the table. But as Alan Shearer pointed out, Newcastle spent £40million on Jolinton a couple of years ago, and apart from his brace against us last weekend, he hasn't set the Premier League alight. Norwich spent their fifty million on six different players, The Toon spent fourty on a single player.

Norwich gambled on potential.

And lost.

And fans are angry.

I mean, fans are always agry these days, and I'm not happy about coming bottom of the table again, but what is the choice here, spent a hundred million, two hundred million, gambling that players that would bring would power us up the table?

And if not, what then?

Into administration, points deduction and a downward spiral.

That Norwich didn't do that, choosing not to gamble with the club's future, instead living within our means, and fans are angry that they didn't gamble. What had the club had gambled, and lost? How angry would fans be then?

Very I suspect.

I have no answers. But screaming at each other on social media and on Canary Call isn't going to change the basic issue, that there is no permanent membership of the Premier League for clubs like Norwich. If you're lucky, you have one maybe two good seasons, but a relegation battle is only a fve game losing streak away, and calls for the manager to be replaced and spend another wad of cash we can't afford on players who might still fail.

It will forever feel that we are like the team of stooges the Harlem Globetrotters used to run rings round on TV in the 70s. We are there as meat for the lions, and if we don't play by their demands, institutions like TalkSport will says we don't even want to stay in the Prem and we should be prevented from being promoted in the future.

That's what was said back in August after a trip of Citeh, Liverpool and Leicester put over a dozen goals past us in the first three games.

Maybe we shouldn't get promoted again, I haven't enjoyed the season, and neither have the players of management.
