Totally agree. I thought it was a good idea to release him too, with the introduction of the wage cap, and cutting down the costs of the squad - we needed something new, and it seemed sensible.

 

Thats the funny thing, people said we couldn't afford to keep Hucks yet I'm told that we're paying Sibi over £30k pw.



Plus, I've heard Huckerby took quite a wage drop to play over the pond, why couldn't a deal have been struck here? - Or maybe Hux decided to get out while he could?!

I've seen it in PinkUn stories several times where Huckerby said he has more than enough money, so wages were not the deciding factor in him going to the US.  He obviously loves his job, and would have played for us for less than he was making previously if given the chance.  He wasn't.

He is like a big time movie star who works for the union rate to be in a small time low budget movie because it is a good movie.  He would have worked for us for less, although I am sure he would still insist on it being a fair wage to avoid being taken advantage of and  being appreciated.

Re: Hucks we miss you!
We miss Hucks its as simple as that. I used to look forward to watching Norwich even if  we were the underdogs in a game. You knew what Hucks was capable of and he could win you games when they looked dead and buried. I have heard the man was a complete arrogant tit off the pitch, but on it he was a great player. I for one would love to see him back in the team.

Re: Hucks we miss you!
Why does everyone say we couldn't afford Hucks' wages, when he was never actually offered a new contract ?
Who knows what he would have accepted ?
Hearing the great man speak about his beloved Norwich City, I suspect he may well have played for a packet of crisps & a Mars Bar.

Perhaps someone could also tell me why we can't afford to pay Hucks' wages, but we are quite prepared to get someone in on loan & let him sit in the stands & do naff all ?
Now, there's a waste of money !
"We don't need another hero . . . . . "
Hang about, yes we do. Where are they Mr Roeder ?

Re: Hucks we miss you!
I think it was more a case that Roeder wanted to start afresh which was fairly understandable although I did'nt agree with the decision.  Now things aren't rosy, it was inevitable the decision would come back to haunt him.  I for one would never have let him go but gone he has.

I think you're right but I also think that it got right up Roeder's nose that Hucks was adored so much by the fans. Weren't Hucks' wages being paid for by the same businessman that has paid for Lita ?

Re: Hucks we miss you!

I really cant stand these posts about Hucks. He has gone and I think that people should get over it!

Yes, he used to be a good player but when he played last season you could see most of the season how he had lost a lot of his pace and that was the main part of his game.  

 


Hucks has gone, get over it!!!

Wasn't Hucks here last year when we had a worst start than this one?

Re: Hucks we miss you!

We'll miss Dion Dublin even more when we're scrapping for survival next April. Huckerby was a great personality but Dublin carried much more weight when it came to inspiring others.......

Who will do it for us this year? Marshall the flapper perhaps? Fotheringsodall the promotion tipster? One of the many workaday loanies?

We're down already....no worries.

For the first three games, yes. Not after that though, he played the majority of the first 16 games before we started to look half-decent(ish).

Re: Hucks we miss you!
He shouldn't have been playing though, he was never properly fit until the 2nd half of the season.
