Lamb Chopped?

BINGO!

[quote user="Paul Hugh"]In fairness the mans always good for a laugh if nothing else.[/quote]Yes he certainly is comical. Have you ever been lucky enough to see him live?They say that that his hecklers in the audience are even funnier.

Paaaaaaaarp! Pardon me

No McNally just knows his football, unlike the majority of posters on this messageboard. I am confident he will pick someone who I believe can do a good job for us again.Lennon is in the frame because he is a decent young manager who played international football and was also successful in the Prmier League and Europe. He is a decent motivator with excellent man management skills and a born leader (much like Lambert himself). Lennon would also be on a contract that would not be too difficult for us to prise him out of I should imagine as Celtic receive the income of a high end Championship team at best.  Yes he has not faced a significant challenge yet managing one of the big two in Scotland, but I am sure that being an ambitious young man he would jump at the opportunity of the chance to Manage an EPL team.Enough reasons there as to why he would possibly be on McNally''s shortlist for you?

[quote user="Proper Charlie"][quote user="Cantiaci Canary"] Something tells me this won''t be the final transfer request. Have we seen the last of Pilkington/Howson/Hoolahan/Ruddy ... whatever McNally says?   It seems so so cruel that by over achieving we have to unravel so fast. I really hoped that we could emulate Stoke City and go from strength to strength but for some reason this doesn''t seem possible. [/quote]   I cant see a mass exodus personally, plus villa have players in their ranks already that are just as good as the above mentioned it''s just that they were being managed incorrectly. But then again???????????? [/quote]Me neither. I think that this will be the end of it. Onwards and upwards hey?

[quote user="Loopzilla"][quote user="morty"]And cue various idiots slagging him off, forgetting the vital goals he scored for us, and the three player of the season awards.I''d rather keep him, but every cloud has a silver lining, and now might be a good time to turn a profit on him.[/quote]I see your point Morty, but to be honest, I''ll be more able to look at things objectively once the emotions have settled down...but right now it is a double whammy and he can f*** right off! [:@][/quote]I guess for some people from North of the border it is more a case of stars in your eyes celebrity "I''m a good guy appeal" than NCFC being more important than someone with ideas way above their station.I personally can''t wait to see Holt flop wherever he goes next season.

[quote user="dpit"]Blooming heck. Probably for the best though. As i''ve said before, now maybe the best time to cash in on Holt. I feel he has overachieved (probably largely due to Lambo''s influence) and if we can get 3-4 million for him it may well be seen as a good deal in the long run. Main issue now is that we have a large vacuum developing which we need to fill as soon as possible if we want to be ready for next season. Two more things: City First, what do you have to say on all this, does the fact that this is all transpiring still make me a Binner and a naysayer or are you willing to apologise for your verbal attacks? Grant Holt should employ a proof reader for how tweets.[/quote]haha don''t hold your breath! [Y]

Like Lambert was going to be a bad choice for the majority of know nothing idiots when he was appointed.I guarantee that if McNally''s man is Lennon then we will not be getting relegated this coming season.

Well I see this news as the silver lining to Lambert going. I bet Grant is concerned that a new manager would not have him in his plans anyway. I wonder how much any club is prepared to spend on the Prmier League one season wonder?He might well end up in the Championship (although if we don''t act quickly and decisively then we could well be heading the same way).

[quote user="AndyCanary"]Talk about being kicked whilst we''re down [:(][/quote]Well it was always about Garnt Holt rather than NCFC anyway. Just that so many were unwilling to accept this.Bye Bye Grant, I am sure that the team will grow stronger without such an ego as club captain.Look forwards to seeing you score about two off the bench for a struggling club next season and getting no praise whatsoever from your new fans.

Villa perhaps?

Shot myself in the foot? How so?Please do explain, as all I claimed was that various people were aware of our interest in Lambert and wanted him to be NCFC before the newspapers got wind of it - certainly way before the news was confirmed by club officials at Carrow Road!Now do you have a jealousy complex because you are out of the loop and way off beam again by the looks of it?

[quote user="morty"][quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Lammy"][quote user="GiveItToVarco"]I''m happy to let Mcnally decide. None of us would have gone for Lambert 3 years ago.[/quote]Incorrect. Would you like me to prove it?[/quote] I would. [/quote]Yeah, me too.[:)][/quote]No need, somebody did it for me by the looks of it.I didn''t ask you though did, so maybe you could mind your own business?

[quote user="Darlo dumplin"]given the McNally connection http://www.ex-canaries.co.uk/players/mcnally.htm MON might not be quite as unlikely as it might at first appear. Just surprises me that expectations are so low that he''s never once been mentioned as far as I can see, on any thread about who people want.[/quote]O''Neill would not surprise me in the slightest.

[quote user="AndyCanary"]Gonna ring in now and suggest this gent:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q33sNrncVmI[/quote]Well at least singing the song would be fun and he is no worse than some of the names mentioned as serious prospective candidates.Stupid smalltown yokels should stick to talking about the Diamond Jubilee. McNally will wet himself laughing when he hears of this!

No worse than some of the names that have been dropped on here.I bet that McNally will privately laugh his socks off at this. I think he will be off soon too if our smalltown, small club mentality continues!Forbesy talked a lot of sense to be fair to him.Cully/Poyet/Di Canio/Malky/Holloway for him then.

[quote user="Green Grimlock"]Not sure there is any shame in coming second best to the likes of Leeds Norwich charlton Southampton Sheffield wed Sheffield utd Brighton. Hardly a list of small poorly funded clubs. He would be my top choice. Young hungry. He knows the leagues we can shop in but knows the premier league from his time as a player.[/quote]Oh, so if we were to appoint Clark and then finish behind West Ham, Southampton, Reading, Swansea, Wigan, WBA, QPR, Villa next season and are relegated I will assume you will be happy because there is no shame in NCFC finishing behind these clubs under Clark?No shame in that I suppose.

[quote user="Herman "][quote user="Lammy"]I did post a list of possibles earlier today Herman (on the initial Chris Hughton post by CUSDP).I guess that I would have a shortlist of 5.Martinez if we can possibly upset the apple cart with his renewed talks with Wigan would be my number one choice.Others on the shortlist would be Brian McDermott, Nigel Adkins, Gus Poyet, Neil Lennon, Paulo Di Canio and Eddie Howe.Di Matteo would go to very near the top of the list if Chelsea don''t appoint him soon and he has no better offers on the table, although we can''t hang around if Lambert has gone as we the sooner we know who our manager is for next season the better.We then have Culverhouse if he does not want to go with his gaffer and Malky who I would take over Clark and Hughton too.I might also be tempted to look at one or two other bright prospects, such as Gary Smith (Stevenage) too.[/quote] Too many threads,i missed the earlier one. Not a bad list with Poyet my first choice amongst them.Di Canio is a bit of a loose cannon and would probably spend most of his time in the stands.Lennon i am not too sure on though as all he has done is romp a one-horse league. Interesting choice of Gary Smith.I know he took on another mans team,but he kept them focused and got them to a brilliant position. [/quote]I am mildly confident that we have yet to see the best from him yet, but his Stevenage side did stand up to playing Tottenham twice this year under his stewardship. A big gamble and he probably needs to prove himself elsewhere. It is more his potential contacts I would be interested in, as he started off in coaching by setting up an academy for Arsenal at Colarado Rapids prior to being made their first team manger and winning the MLS Cup prior to things going slightly pear shaped. This probably came abouts after through Smith working for Tony Adams at Wycombe. Therefore I am assuming that he would have Premier League, MLS and lower football league contacts that could be taken advantage of should he have half the eye for a talented player that Lambert did.

First choice is Martinez for me if we can throw a spanner in to his renewed talks with Wigan.Others on my shortlist would be Brian McDermott, Nigel Adkins, Gus Poyet, Neil Lennon, Paulo Di Canio and Eddie Howe.Di Matteo would go to very near the top of the list if Chelsea don''t appoint him soon and he has no better offers on the table, although obviously we are unable to hang around too long  to find a successor if Lambert doesn''t return.We then have Culverhouse if he does not want to go with his gaffer and Malky, who I would certainly take over Clark and Curbishley (possibly over Hughton too).

Yes Lambert certainly was not the cheap option when we first took him on. He should have been rewarded with a better contract by now however. Lee Clark currently has no job as he was unable to deliver success at one of the richest clubs in League 1 for over 3 years. We will be getting compensation if Lambert does go and should be spending every penny of this and more in recruiting a new management team unless we would like all of the hard work that has gone in over the last 3 seasons to be undone in next to no time.

Who the hell is Chris Houghton?

[quote user="Yellow Rider"][quote user="Lammy"]If McNally is to use his contacts then Neil Lennon has to be a better bet than cheap, not good enough for Huddersfield Town in League 1 - Clark. That would rank alongside Gunn as the worst management appointment at Carrow Road in years.[/quote] My word you do have a very selective memory!! Clark may not have actually got Huddersfield up but they had three seasons under him being leading promotion contenders. If he was THAT bad, the whole thing would have fallen apart  big time. It didn''t! [/quote]You or I, or even seom of the real lunatics on here could get Huddersfield in the League 1 play-offs.Cheap and very poor option, that''s my opinion.Many more better options out there.
