Yes, very much a Norwich reserve team with only 2 players from the team that won their league game at Fratton Park. |

Who supplies all the flags in the Chapel end? I've seen people walking to and from the stadium with them, so it's not the club. Is it a supporters' group doing it? I'm in favour of it, by the way. |

I never said it made financial sense.
Look what happened to the last organisation Johannes Spors was sports director at. It was a disaster. [Post edited 26 Aug 10:56]

These youngsters are not brought in to strengthen our team; the plan is to sell them for a profit to strengthen other teams, after they've played a handful of games here or in Turkey or France to showcase them. We can see from Sport Republic's time in charge here that there is clearly no long-term plan to build our team and there probably never will be. That's not a priority for them.

"This is the first transfer window that Johannes Spors has been in charge"
And just when we thought things couldn't get any worse, it's been the worst yet.
The last organisation Johannes Spors was Sports Director at went bust.
"777 Partners have been sued by multiple organizations for unpaid debts and contract breaches with lawsuits describing their financial practices as a "house of cards"."
Everton certainly dodged a bullet.

Most teams promoted from the Championship have made astute use of loan transfers. Looks like that won't be us.

It shows they have zero interest in building a successful team. Their only real objective is making a profit in the transfer market. |

Their latest signings confirm what I've suspected. Sport Republic don't even bother to send scouts out to watch players before they sign them.
Our recruitment seems to work like this: Other clubs phone up and say "We have this player we want you to take" and Spor says, "OK then. How much do you want for him?" |

How on earth can Sport Republic be this stupid???? It's almost like our recruitment is being run by John Westwood.

The worst keeper I’ve ever seen in yellow and green.

Agree. Giving Long the contract extension was the first big red flag. But this playing out through the press is mind bogglingly naïve. I was happy to give him the summer transfer window and another year, but this is beyond inept. He's clearly way out of his depth

Yes, to give him a new 3 year deal must be a sackable offense for all who greenlighted it!

Never want to see him in a Norwich shirt again, but some helmet offered him a 3yr contract…

The problem is that since the halcyon days when Paul Black Box Mitchell was our head of recruitment, and, arguably the best in the business, subsequent owners have bought the club believing it to be a lucrative conveyor belt of talent, bought cheaply and sold on to other clubs for enormous profits. But, of course, since Mitchell left, the recruitment has been poor, to say the least. Nevertheless, the owners still see this as SFC's modus operandi and so persevere and largely fail with the pursuit of big transfer profits as their main objective. Meanwhile, the everyday business of building a successful football team has been largely overlooked. |

The problem is our recruitment department don't seem capable of recognising who is and who isn't a decent centre forward. Sometimes, I wonder whether we even bother to send scouts to watch players before we buy them. Did anyone really see Damion Downs play? [Post edited 24 Aug 22:19]

Our so-called strikers. The only forward we have who offers any goal threat is Jay Robinson.
We have needed a decent centre forward for so long and we need one now more than ever. Apart from Robinson about the only players we have who can score are defenders.
If only we could swap Archer, Armstrong, Stewart and Downs for a goalscoring centre forward. |

We badly need a new centre forward. That should be a priority; not a bunch of teenage wingers. [Post edited 22 Aug 22:29]
