    ...it''s still very underwhelming. Let''s be honest. However, I look at my past as a Norwich fan and very few appointments have actually given me that much excitement.

    I''m 28. As a Norwich fan, the first appointment I properly understood and had an informed opinion on was Nigel Worthington''s. When he left and Peter Grant came in, I felt underwhelmed. He was an unknown commodity. He wasn''t my choice.

    Grant leaves. Roeder comes in. Underwhelmed again. Roeder leaves, Gunn comes in. Extremely underwhelmed. Gunn leaves (extreme happiness), Lambert comes in. Underwhelmed. I wanted Steve Coppell. How wrong would I have been there.

    I guess the point I''m trying to make is that very few appointments actually set the pulse racing when you''re a fan of a side like Norwich. Ok, the appointment of Neil Lennon would''ve been the first one ever to have excited me, but for whatever reason, we didn''t fancy him. How many Liverpool fans really wanted Rodgers? How many Everton fans wanted Martinez?

    Last summer, Wigan went with Owen Coyle. Seen by many as a sound appointment because he''d previously helped Burnley to promotion. Look how that turned out. Experience doesn''t always bring success. Neither does inexperience, granted. It really is just about how much someone has in their locker. How much ability Neil Adams actually has.

    I''m not going to say ''let''s get behind him, it''s done now'' etc etc etc, because part of me is still in shock. After the 10 day period of hopes being raised and speculation, this is a complete let down. No two ways about it. A very un-McNally appointment.

    It''s safe to say we''ll lose players we thought we''d keep. They''re not going to stay for Neil Adams, that''s for sure. I didn''t see much in those 5 games that made me believe Neil was the man. The performance at Man Utd was as bad as any away display under Chris Hughton, but Neil is the man now. A man who has to do what all inexperienced managers have had to do. Managers like Ferguson and Mourinho. He has to prove himself.

    No words will suffice now. No promises will suffice. He just needs to do the job because one things for sure, after keeping Chris Hughton longer than they should, they''re not going to mess around if Neil Adams doesn''t get results. That''s the bad thing about inexperienced managers. They don''t often get time.

    This silly, self-imposed deadline was a mistake. With the board under the spotlight following our avoidable relegation they suddenly announce they''ll appoint a manager within a week. They fail to do this.

    Granted, they come on Radio Norfolk and do a good job of putting fans minds at rest re a new manager. They tell us a new manager is just days away. Now, I have no problem waiting. No problem whatsoever, I (like many/all of you) just want the right man, but it just makes the board look a little bit disorganised. They were clearly confident they could get someone in within that week. Whatever''s happened, that person is now unsure if he wants the job. Perhaps waiting for a better one.

    Meanwhile, we have Adams, Zola and whoever else waiting in the wings, just incase we don''t get who we really want. This is how it seems to me. Now Neil Lennon resigns and most people get pretty excited, me included, only to find that his destination is likely going to be the Midlands, not Norfolk, and we suddenly find ourselves with Neil Adams as the bookies favourite, which is frankly depressing.

    What a circus. This would not have been the case 3/4 years ago with our board. They knew they wanted Lambert back then. They got him, whatever the cost, despite us being on our knees financially at that time. Now it''s like a different board, a different McNally. To me, it just seems like they don''t know what they''re doing.

    Zola, probably desperate for a job isn''t bothered about working with a Technical Director, Adams too, but this could be causing a problem with other candidates. Candidates who could aim higher if they wanted, so we might be putting people off. All speculation of course, but the club failing to appoint a manager when they said they would has turned this into a bit of a circus. If the outcome is Neil Adams, it''ll be a complete joke. It''ll be pretty clear that they''ve just settled for him because they couldn''t get who they really wanted.

    Don''t think Zola will get it. If we really wanted him, we could''ve appointed him last week and met that silly deadline. Same goes for Neil Adams. They either want someone currently in a job or want someone who is holding out for another job.

    God I do hate these threads where people try to be the voice of reason, giving rallying cries to the fans etc. It''s so cringeworthy. I''d prefer false rumours, false sightings. ''Let''s all make sure we get behind the new man, whoever he is'' - oh shut the f uck up.
