Highland Canary 76 Posted May 9, 2017 Would love it to be Monk but history suggests we should be prepared to be underwhelmed, again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted May 9, 2017 Turned on talksport about 20 minutes ago. Caught the end of something along the lines of: "....he''s always looking to better himself and should take the Norwich job"Anyone know who they were talking about. I know they don''t have any sources or information worth a damn but I''m just interested to see who else has been linked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted May 9, 2017 The specific problem with believing that Norwich City not only have chosen Monk and sealed a deal with him but that this was done long enough ago for it to be known in the club last week is that one of two things have to be true. Either that Monk knew a week or even more ago that he wouldn''t be kept on at Leeds. Or that if Leeds did want him to stay he would leave anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted May 9, 2017 Only found out earlier it was indeed still Tuesday and not Wednesday as I''ve thought all dayAs I normally donate £20 to the pups every season it''s not really something I''m interested in, but what I will do is up it to £50 this year if you name your source Crabby, that''s if there even is one?Ball''s in your court mate ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted May 9, 2017 DDD, there IS a source, and of course, I will not name this person. You really didn''t expect anything else did you? I am a person of a certain age, and have NO interest in idle gossip. You can believe me or not, and it looks like you don''t. That is not a problem to me, as I have put myself up to be shot, with this post.You could have said, what I said about your ''name'', but you have now put yourself into a position, by naming Tom, but not the new man''s name. Is the name you have been given, currently employed with a British Club? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,162 Posted May 10, 2017 I am surprised that Aitor Karanka has not been mentioned as a suitable candidate.An experienced manager. Led Middlesborough to a play-off final (to come up with a superior team of course) and eventually got promotion from the Championship on his cv.Has connections, especially on the Continent.Is currently without a club.Importantly for our needs at this present time he had a successful career at high level as a central defender.I am not particularly supporting him as ''Borough''s excursion into the PL last season was by all accounts a bit of a disaster and I would need to know the reasons behind this failure first.He ticks a lot of boxes though.

Tumbleweed 106 Posted May 10, 2017 Karanka did at MBoro what Hughton did with us. Both tried to defend their way to survival. Both failed. There were also regular rumours of dressing room issues and Karanka did walk out at one stage in the PL season. I think that would be a high risk strategy and not one borne out by much evidence that it could succeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 183 Posted May 10, 2017 I''m wondering if Nathan Jones might be one of the names on our now fabled list of two.Ticks a few boxes.Still working and club still involved this season.Young, highly qualified, happy, you would think, to work as a coach rather than the traditional manager.And has, if he chooses to bring him along, a wise old head as his number two in Paul Hart who has also had some success in his career as a youth coach.

In the second season, it failed because of the failure to recruit a replacement who could play the Grant Holt role to a decent level in the Prem and IMO if we''d got someone who could do that with the £13m we spent on RVW/Hooper, it would have made the difference in the second season. Having said that, we''d all have become so bored by then that survival would have not been that exciting ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
