  1. Fantastic look forward to the announcement. Would be a great addition.
  2. I''m happy with the draw particularly when the majority of EPL sides have drawn each other. If were are lucky we could get on a little bit of a Cup run, which would be great. Who would have thought that last year. OTBC
  3. I agree Tottie. I am pretty sure he would be unemployable at the moment and probably for quite a while.     
  4. I agree with you G&Y. I think Pulis has impressed everybody with what he has done at Palace. He certainly had a reputation at Stoke but has almost reinvented himself. If we cop another loss this weekend and I was in McNally''s position I would be making two calls - one to Lennon and one to Pulis and the best man wins from there as I truly believe that both would do an outstanding job here.

My point was not that Koeman would take us on now after being relegated but more if Hughton was sacked when he should have been, November or December, I find it almost impossible to believe that some quality manager would not have wanted to take the job on. And with regards to your statement about being an ex-pat. What''s that got to do with anything. Please don''t be so ignorant it makes you look ridiculous and small minded. [/quote] But who OZ canary? Who? Most decent managers want to access all possibilities, pick a club and have a pre-season to mold things together. What a lot of people in this thread are arguing is that there wasn''t this pool of talented coaches available and willing to take on the role. Ronald Koeman would not take on that job in January I''m confident of that. Who do you think we missed out on?[/quote]   Hertford, I''m not entirely sure but Di Matteo was available, Steve Clarke, Laudrup, Zola and that doesn''t bring into account any overseas based manager. I''m not saying that they would have saved us from relegation but to say that no-one was available I think is rubbish and I think all of those would have been an immediate improvement from Hughton. Why is it that other teams can make changes, shake things up and some twice in a season and we can''t seem to make a definitive decision until the last 5 weeks of the season. For the board, Delia or McNally to sit there and watch results and our league position slip slowly away without doing anything proactive to stop the decline is the height of naivity and stupidity. You would have to had to have been blind Freddy to not realise that it was not working by late November /early December last year. Supporters where grumbling, NCFC blogs & podcasts were full of discontent with not only the poor results but Hughton''s lack of strategy, team choices being poor etc. I also think it''s interesting that when McNally first arrived at Carrow Road he obviously surveyed the situation at the club, let Gunny take control of the first team. However, as soon as that first game against Colchester was done, McNally took control, replaced Gunn with Lambert. It all happened at lightening speed, which is what someone in his position is supposed to do. Fast forward to last year, he did nothing, let Hughton roll-on game after game, poor result after poor result. It seems to me that that was out of character for him. It then raises the question for me that maybe it wasn''t McNally so much but maybe Delia, Bowkett & the board were slow to react to the obviousness of the situation which again raises one of my original points that not having any "football people" at board level is stifling us. Maybe it''s because I''m an expat (as pointed out by one of our less literate fellow so-called supporters) and as such, am not on the ground in Norfolk, but to me there seems to be a massive disconnect between the fans and the club and particulary the board at the moment. Am I wrong?? Obviously, we will support Neil Adam''s and the boys but if the results are not positive immediately the board are going to have some big problems.

  7. We were so unlucky.Very proud of the boys in yellow last night. Took it to Holland. Timmy Cahill''s goal was a cracker.  Hopefully we will all be saying that at the end of next season with promotion back to premier
  8. Apologies if there has been a thread on this, couldn''t see it. It''s a good thing that no quality managers were available for us to approach earlier otherwise we might have ended up with Neil Adam''s (or Gunny Version 2). Maybe I am being unkind to Neil Adams, but really, who would know as apart from junior football he''s no record to call upon. Where as Ronald Koeman has been espoused for a few jobs in England since the turn of the year most recently the Spurs job before it was given to Potechinno. With Koeman signing a three year deal with the Saints, you can''t tell me there a bigger club than us. It''s just a club that has bigger ambitions and better footballing heads making decisions. After listening to an interview with Matt Le Tiss, he was excited about the overseas players that Koeman could potentially bring in. Would love to have seen something like that happen with us but then again Koeman being Dutch probably wouldn''t have passed Delia''s fit & proper test.  
  9. Excuse my ignorance but why would you say that Lennon is a psychopath. Seems a bit over the top for me
  10. Just finished listening to a podcast of this mornings BBC Scotland''s Sportsound and they were talking about Neil Lennon leaving Celtic. They stated that they thought he would end up at Brighton & not Norwich. Apparently DM wanted Lennon but the board wanted Malky. Maybe because not one could agree in the boardroom, they plumped for the easy option with Adams. Don''t know but I just feel underwhelmed by the appointment and can''t help but think this is another bottled decision by the board, coming so fast after the Hughton fiasco.
  11. I''d be chuffed with either Hyppia or Lennon. And maybe Zola
  12. That''s the difference between an EPL team vs buying into a lesser team in a lower division. My original point was though, I don''t care whose being bought and for how much. I still firmly believe that NCFC board would be reguarly fielding enquiries. You can''t tell me that if someone has $25m to spend, they would look at a team in a lower division before and EPL team with little or no debt. I would enquire if I was in that position, but what response you get once you enquire would be the interesting bit of information.
  13. Yes I know Purple however common sense would tell me that an EPL club, no or little debt, would have to be of interest to potential investors, I may be wrong but we would have to bf just about the only club that is debt free right. One team city. Marketing possibilities are endless plus the attractiveness of living in Norfolk. If I had billions I would be more interested in a NC rather than Leicester, Watford, Notts Forest, Notts County or QPR .
