The club have made some fatal errors in terms of inflating our players ego's.
Having a couple of big name managers (Paulo and Sven) without Championship pedigree
Getting Real Madrid here for a friendly and whooping it up
Paying way over the odds in salaries and luxuries
Taking the squad to Thailand where they're treated like kings
This sort of thing will tend to make people think that they're billy big times (bbt's). This of course is fine if the bbt's then perform like kings. As we know all too well, a problem arises when the ego exceeds the true ability level. Indeed, even if the ability level is pretty good, it's going to piss off many of the opposition we face who are used to far less glamorous circumstances and therefore determined to wipe the smug grins off of bbt's faces.
Therein lies our dilemma. NP is the opposite of bbt. He appears to abhor any inference of bbt thinking or behaviour. He's now got a bunch of players who've been made to believe that they're kings and are now being told to stop acting like soft twats and graft.
The poor cherubs are confused. The likes of Watford shouldn't be any match for kings. But the boss says that the kings are not kings, they're serfs.
When they play kings they feel at home (are Norwich king enough for them?). When they play in the sewers they can't cope.
And then their new manager keeps telling them that they must love the sewers. But they don't want to. They want caviar and champagne.
No wonder we're inconsistent.
