Worthington Sacked.
Following a run of poor results and a dismal performance against Burnley today which resulted in a 4-1 drubbing Norwich have sacked manager Nigel Worthington. Worthington who has previously been in charge at Blackpool has been relieved at his duties as Norwich lie in 17th place. Fans at Carrow Road will have been expecting a titel charge but it has failed to materialise. Majority shareholder Delia Smith questioned the players lack of passion this week but it seems that once more the manager must take responsibility for below par performances on the pitch. Speaking before his departure Worthington gave his opinion on Norwich's abismal form stating that "We all took the plaudits when things were going well, and I'll take the bullets when it is not going well." I think it would be fair to say this sums up the situation well. When Worthington took Norwich into the Premiership the place was buzzing, the players were all to ready to accept praise, but now when things go wrong it is the manager who is blamed for inept on the field performances. The managerial marigoround continues to turn.
