iron_stan 0 Posted May 2, 2017 hes not really achieved anythingwe have players that have won things of more note than himhe doesnt have enough of a reputation to attract quality playershes not got ANY English league experiencehe will probably think keeping lafferty and mcgovern is a good idea absolute joke appointment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 2, 2017 Hasn''t Lafferty already been let go stan mate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,862 Posted May 2, 2017 Wagner > Monk > Rosler >>>> O''Neill.Sure he has achieved good results with NI, but has spent six years setting up a team to either coast past utterly useless minnows, or defend deep with Lafferty up front against decent teams. Can''t see the experience or tactical acumen necessary for being a top team in the Championship or, indeed, surviving in the Premier League with a distinct footballing philosophy.

Mr Apples 1,325 Posted May 2, 2017 It was reported on Radio 5 this afternoon that we had held informal talks with O''Neill, but that we had also held similar talks with other potential candidates.Make of that what you will.Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted May 2, 2017 I think it''s all a recycling of the ''BBC Radio Norfolk understands...'' news item published earlier today, picked up by (or sent to) BBC Sport for publication on the national BBC Football site.McVeigh and Holt have tweeted that it would be quite a coup and a good appointment. McV may be biased, but probably knows him better than most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 517 Posted May 2, 2017 Genuine question. Why would this be a coup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted May 2, 2017 Shamrock Rovers, Brechin City and N Ireland, doesn''t sound like a coup to me, think i prefer the thought of Rosler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 2, 2017 I never for one moment imagined he would be on the listand I haven''t a clue what his philosophy or style is.But I guess someone has thought that he is worth speaking to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,711 Posted May 2, 2017 If you''d asked me to come up with 20 names for head coach I still probably wouldn''t have come up with him. But then I don''t get paid to make the decision and I''m sure there''ll be some logic behind it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FCC 76 Posted May 2, 2017 Is this the best Weber can come up with? If this is true he is out of his depth - and we could have talked to this guy months ago rather than now.I get the feeling Weber may think more of himself than others do. Perhaps good quality coaches aren''t keen on working with him. So far he has appointed two old mates from Wolves with no track record. I would have thought we would get a head of European recruitment from the continent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,777 Posted May 2, 2017 [quote user="Mr Apples"]It was reported on Radio 5 this afternoon that we had held informal talks with O''Neill, but that we had also held similar talks with other potential candidates.Make of that what you will.Apples[/quote]How do you hold informal talks with people you are in employment and under contract with other clubs or countries ? Surely the approach has to be official and with their employers blessing and Webber did say that nothing would happen until our targets had completed the season at their respective clubs.

dibbler 0 Posted May 2, 2017 Why, it''s the cheap option 1st.Coaching a national team is not like coaching a league team, totally different. You are either good at one or the other.Hopefully just made up news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damn that Ralph Coates! 47 Posted May 2, 2017 NI FA say we haven''t made contact with them - (and it would be 500k release payment if we want him.)Rosler or Wagner more likely candidates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 3, 2017 It still managed to make the BBC football ceefax pages.I guess it may be a contingency if Huddersfield or Fleetwood are promoted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 185 Posted May 3, 2017 Will a manager feel he wants to come here if he is a contingency though?They couldn''t get ''A'' who they really wanted or ''B'' who they''d quite liked to have had but hey ''C'', you''ll do.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why they are quite happy to step into the shoes of someone who has just been sacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 3, 2017 O''Neill is refuting the Radio Norfolk story and says he isn''t looking to join us. We want a coach and he is a manager.It is on the BBC Sport page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 0 Posted May 3, 2017 He''s saying he never had any contact with Norwich so where on earth did the story come from that he was a contender? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted May 3, 2017 [quote user="Highland Canary"]Entirely consistent with the club''s ambition. Let''s not go for Monk, Wagner or, even, Rosler. League one here we come. You couldn''t make it up.[/quote]Lol! Someone did. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
