Anderz 0 Posted October 12, 2006 "It is also understood that the club received more than 100 applications for the role vacated by Nigel Worthington on September 30. It is a list which includes a number of former players, including one still playing."Does anyone see this as a current City player having thrown his hat into the ring as regards the managerial vacancy. Only posting as I''m curious as to whether it may or may not have been Fleming. I don''t really have any strong opinion either way as regards Fleming''s actual aptitude towards the role of manager.

Kathy 733 Posted October 12, 2006 I was intrigued by this. More likely Dublin dont you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary02 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Flem has done his coaching badges (I think he did them with Iwan when he was still here) so he has the qualifications. Got to be the favourite as the "current player". I''d be wary with his lack of experience personally though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,341 Posted October 12, 2006 I think that if a City player has applied it is likely to have been Dion Dublin.No factual evidence but his name has appeared in the long odds section of some bookies lists at prices of at least 20/1.Nothing against the guy but I''d be only marginally more surprised if Elvis Presley got the nod..........

Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0 Posted October 12, 2006 It must be Flem. He must fancy the job after being here forever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 131 Posted October 12, 2006 Doesn''t mean its a current Norwich player, just one still plying the trade... could have been someone like Mackay...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Rages 0 Posted October 12, 2006 It could be Flem or maybe Dublin.But looking outside of the club, maybe Teddy Sherringham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neilson 6 0 Posted October 12, 2006 I think the current player interested in the position is Dion Dublin. When he was at Celtic he stated he wanted to get into coaching. Was that the reason he turned other clubs down and came to us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Temp the Revelator 0 Posted October 12, 2006 If you read the quote again it suggests that a former player still playing has applied, not a current NCFC player........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 131 Posted October 12, 2006 My point exactly Temp :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted October 12, 2006 How can you be a former player, yet still be playing for Norwich?. I read it as a former Norwich player who is still playing footy, the name that sprung to mind was Malky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted October 12, 2006 Assuming that this is expressed in English, the word former, and still playing would suggest someone who played for the club, no longer does so, but is still playing (elsewhere).Not many possibles - Malky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom NCFC 0 Posted October 12, 2006 By the way it is written, it sounds like the appilcant who still plays was in the 100 list, not the final four!I imagine it was Craig Fleming or Dion Dublin as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 12, 2006 they mean a former Canary who is still playing Elsewhere...the only ones who fit the bill age wise (id say over 30) are Sutton and Malky.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nona 0 Posted October 12, 2006 I think that it means a former NCFC player, who is still playing football...not a former NCFC player who is still playing for the club, thats makes no sense at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anderz 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Must admit that having re-reading what I originally posted earlier, it does seem to suggest a former City player who''s still playing that isn''t at the club now... I blame the early starts that Manchester City Council have enforced and my pained fuzzy-headedness this morning...Apologies for the confusion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted October 12, 2006 So, Sutton wants to be manager so he can play himself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
