IF and its a BIG IF he goes ... whoes next?

[koimatsuba 0]

Who is there out there who would like to come to Norwich?

Apart for Curbishly, who I would love to have, but think that we are to small and hes done it all before with Charlton.

Who is there apart from the current rejects like:

Robson/Megson/Blackwell/Spackman/Keegan????

We need somebody with Curbishlys and Martin o''neals experince to sort this club out.

We don''t want Iwan or Ince or any other new boys with no management experience.

Names Please .... and why?

(I suppose in the end anybody with new ideas is better than what we have!)

Cheers All

Keegan, he knows how to get teams promoted, he would raise our profile and would attract players and he would at least provide attacking football. this is out of the names mentioned above.

[Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0]

no idea, i would like to see Pardew get the chop at west ham soon and us take him on. maybe dowie if charlton prove impatient.

Good candidates like Peter Taylor and Mike Newell are now unavailable.

[yellow hammer 131]

Dave Stringer - best manager Norwich ever had

[Mook 0]

KK can only work with a big budget - he''s never managed without an "open" cheque book. Personally I think he would be a disaster here.

[Canary02 0]

Hucks would love that....

[still holding out for new heroes 0]

i await the vitreol to flow but Joe Royle is looking for a way back in to management at the mo....

 

heres a few that would be in my short list

• Alan Curbishley
• Joe Royle
• Mark Bowen / Ian Crook
• Paul Lambert
• Kenny Jackett
• Steve Tilson
• Martin Allen

If Worthy goes I would imagine it will be expensive so I reckon Hunter will get it. I think he''ll play the youngsters so I would have no problems with this. If we are VERY lucky Curbishley, but can we really get someone of his calibre? Must confess that I expect a little run until Worthy''s job is safe again, the misarable cynic in me I guess!

[Rudolph Hucker 0]

I believe Keegan has always had a soft spot for Norwich (just based on his comments over the years).

I''d love to see Crooky (and a few Soccerroo''s, plus Mark Bowen).

Otherwise, let''s try to find a way back to the old West Ham connection which gave us our best years.

hmmm... it''s a really tricky one. I wouldn''t want any of these to be honest, even Curbishly - who I think has his mind set on a bigger job (He''s not interested in West Brom either).

Ideally we bag an up and coming manager - maybe the transfer kitty will become a ''poach a decent manager'' kitty...

[charlies dad 0]

He''s not gone yet. I don''t think this is over by a long chalk. Lets not count our chickens. On the subject of a new manager. An outside appointment is paramount. Lets cut the ''little old Norwich'' crap. Lets accentuate the positives. 25,000 regular gate. Colney. Earnshaw/Huckerby. A few decent players. Some money (apparently we bid for that kid at Bristol City, so we know there is some). Don''t fall for the garbage some people spout ''no-one will come here''. If NCFC float the job tomorrow, the list of applicants would be huge and varied. FACT. Its a plum job. Lets cast the net and see who bites.

Someone told me Ian Crook is doing very well in Australia- could he team up with Dave Williams and Martin Hunter? Generally I am not in favour of former players as I think that''s more about sentiment than reality but if he is earning his spurs in management already then the risk is much lower.

I disagree that we should discount Curbishley. My perspective from listening to him is that he would appreciate a family club with a good solid atmosphere and a stable base. His quieter and more considered personality also seems to be more compatible with Delia than with others. I believe that he would not be hugely attracted to the sort of club with little patience, fickle fans and where success is demanded overnight such as at Leeds and WBA. I think with our squad and Board we would be attractive to him. OK the fan base is disillusioned with Nigel but its taken a long time to get to that point and still looks like a teaparty compared to the abuse other managers get at some inner city clubs.

[Unlucky Fried Kitten 0]

Who replaces Worthy? That''s a very difficult question. I''d either try to persuade Luton Town to part with Mike Newell or tinker with the current management stucture at Carrow Road. How about Dave Williams as Number One with Hunter as his assistant or vice versa. I would definitely ignore those has-been managers such as Robson, Megson and Hoddle etc. There may well be a few managers in Leagues One and Two worth looking at as well. It goes without saying we need a manager far more capable at wheeling and dealing than Worthy is because the squad is in dire need of a good shake up. The new man also needs to be far less cautious when it comes to giving youth a fair chance. Fingers crossed that the board pick the right man!

[ShrewsCanary 0]

Nigel Pearson?

[Dean Coneys boots 1,531]

Is Claudio Ranieri in work?

[Marty 0]

apart from Curbishley the options are limited, this is the problem, it is all very well and good asking for our current manager to be sacked but without a good idea of who''s going to replace him it''s a touch gung-ho!

[Evil Monkey 52]

Keegan would be a shocking appointment, and you could guarantee we''d lose Hucks in an instant!  He''s only ever succeeded when backed with oodles of cash, and a Man City fan once told me that he''d put a whole chapter about Keegan in any book entitled "How To Ruin Your Football Club"...

The problem with the likes of Newell, and other managers already in employment is that they''d be expensive and time-consuming to get, if they even wanted to leave in the first place.

Bobby Robson is senile, Bryan Robson is just inept, Megson is more of a hoofball merchant than Worthy (what short memories some seem to have) and Hoddle left Wolves because he didn''t have any real budget to work with, so he''d never come here.

Curbs is far and away the best option, and there''s no reason why we can''t get him.  We''re not as small a club as our board seem to think we are at times.

Martin Allen is free and would be a good appointment, I reckon.

I don''t like these "former player" options, they just smack of nostalgia.  Crook may have been doing okay in Australia''s newly-formed football leagues with something like ten teams in it, but what of English experience? None.  Maybe as a number two or a Youth Coach for now?

Or maybe, just maybe, Hunter would do well as caretaker and get the job and go on to great things.  Not outside the realms of possibility.

Who was it mentioned Keegan ?  you cannot be serious !    Hucks would be playing for Forest   in next to no time ....

I believe that the appointment of Hunter   was a precurser  to  Nigel  getting the boot  .

Delia and the board  will always be aware   of those bad times , when Norwich    had a manager a year , and faced relegation  on a regular basis   ......   and make no mistake   , the  chances of a new manager  being successful   are low !   

[koimatsuba 0]

If the club has some money to bid for Cockerill at £2 million then paying Nigel off and paying for a Manager should be ok. Only prob comes in getting a bigger squad. Free players etc...

Maybe like Keane has done at Sunderland?

Anyway aparently we may have a take0over from Millan M of portsmouth. OR is this just a load of squit.

Personaly I''d prefere Delia any day!

Cheers AGAIN

[Dame to Blame 108]

Martin Allen for me an up and coming manager who wheels and deals well in the transfer market and gets his players motivated .

[Bogbrush 0]

Why does anybody think that Alan Curbishley would consider becoming Norwich manager ? Having previously spent years crafting/grafting a similar sized club such as Charlton into an established Premiership club (for how long now though ?) why on earth would he wish to try and repeat the exercise with Norwich ? For that matter, why would any other manager or aspiring manager come to Norwich to take over from Worthington in the knowledge that they wouldn''t have any cash to spend on players or, if cash was made available, it would be strictly limited. Therefore, any new manager would effectively have to work with the "squad" that Worthy has put together and what incentive does that represent ? Therefore, my belief is that, if Worthy is sacked, the plan is to promote from within another person who will be prepared to "stay on message" ......... and no prizes for guessing who that might be.

[greenTshirt 2]

[quote user="vicar in green and yellow"]Is Claudio Ranieri in work?[/quote]

Apparently not. I read somewhere in the last couple of days that he is looking to get back into English football, possibly hinting at the Leeds job (which I think Curbishley will get).

sorry EM Martin Allen is not free he is currently boss at the MK Dons

[gazzathegreat 0]

Clueless, lovely username and avatar, gave me the biggest laugh of the week...

Who after Nigel?

 

The clue is the the appointment made in the summer, step forward Martin Hunter

You all know this club loves to appoint from within.....prudence with ambition

Alan Curbishley - just pure ambition

 

[Marty 0]

yeah Martin Allen would be good, great attitude.

[salp 0]

would love to see Teddy Sheringham have a go - he can still play too !

[Saint Canary 0]

Steve Tilson?  In three season''s saved Southend from relegation to the conference then gained back to back promotions,  works with Peter Taylor for the England Under 21''s, is used to working with a small budget and doesn''t have to relocate very far.

He is a manager who should see City as good oppertunity and a step forward.  Surely Keegan et all would see City as backwards step?

[ricky knight 0]

You are all slagging Keegan but he has done more than any of the divs you all have nominated. Educate me what has curbishley actually won, oh yea nothing and looking at charlton now he picked his time to leave. Also i nominated Keegan from the names mentioned, i would like someone like George Graham given another chance in football, nearly forgot the mans a winner that wont do.

[Tom NCFC 0]

There''s no chance of him coming but Aidy Boothroyd!

Alan Curbishley will be great!

Yes Keegan is a winner - League two with Fulham and a multi-million pound squad and the Championship with Fulham again with a multi-million pound squad.  Can he work on a budget - I doubt it!
