Norwich have sacked manager Chris Hughton and
replaced him with youth coach Neil Adams.
The Canaries were beaten 1-0 by West Brom on
Saturday and are five points clear of the relegation zone with five games
remaining.
They are still to play Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester
United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
I’ve thought about this decision and no matter what
angle you view it from it makes no sense.
Norwich have sacked Chris Hughton when they’re five
points, six effectively if you look at their goal difference compared to Fulham
and Cardiff, clear of the relegation zone, ok four of their last five games are
against top six teams but if they win their next game, away to Fulham, that
would probably be just enough to keep them up regardless of their results in those last four games.
What makes the decision doubly incompetent is that
Hughton has been replaced with a guy who has no managerial experience.
Is this an admission from the Norwich board that
they think they’re going down so they’ve got rid of Hughton now rather than at
the end of the season to give themselves more time to find someone to manage
the team next year?
That’s the only thing I can think of that even comes
close to making this decision make sense and even then it’s still totally
bonkers.
