Dear Mr Doncaster,

I am, like many Norwich City fans deeply concerned with the current state of the club. Now I must admit, that, despite my record on Championship Manager I am not a great authority on football management. Equally, I cannot claim to have supported the club for sixty years (the actual figure is alas rather nearer to six). None the less, I do pride myself on my grasp of the blindingly obvious.
And that is as follows; Norwich City Football Club is not in a satisfactory condition and the situation is getting worse rather than better. Naturally, there are mitigating factors and these cannot be overlooked. The circumstances of our relegation, injuries, player turnover. But the fact remains, with the resources at our disposal we should be in a higher league position; and if nothing else we should be capable of organising our defence and providing a spirited resistance.
Clearly, Nigel Worthington and his assistants cannot be held fully responsible for the teams? failings. It is not his fault that Damian Francis is badly advised or that players are hurt in matches. None the less, I fail to see who else can be held responsible for the team?s complete lack of organisation and players being un-necessarily played out of position.
All of this is bad enough, but what really saddens and frustrates me is the complete lack of any sign of improvement. Quite the reverse in fact, good players are being sold and replaced by the mediocre, despite having had time to gel, the team seem ever less united and morale is dropping.
What worries me most is not our promotion prospects for this season or indeed next (in a division as tight as this promotion cannot be taken for granted). Rather, it is the long term future of the club which is being jeopardised. Bricks and mortar investment is of little use if fans stay away and young players are not making it at first team level. Furthermore, the excellent relationship between board and fans one of the major strengths of the club is being eroded. And make no mistake about it; our patience is wearing thin. Attendances will decline and the board?s halos will slip.
Now what to do about it? Obviously there are a number of problems and they cannot all be solved in one swoop. However, a change of manager would at least re-ignite interest amongst fans and players. It might even result in an improvement in the teams performances! If nothing else, it would put an end to the unrest which is gradually and inexorably tearing the club apart. Overdramatic? Quite possibly. But not without truth.

Your Sincerely.
