......and Smith must score. 1,332 Posted February 9, 2007 No great surprise to see Livermore depart..........we''ve never quite worked out what was his actual role in the club other than being the man '' with the BBC '' ( bibs, balls and cones )Good to see Gunny in his new position..........he is so well known throughout football and in his adopted home and has the charisma to make a real difference. A good appointment.Duffy ? Time will tell but for know we can only respect Peter Grant''s judgement on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salopian 1 Posted February 9, 2007 The Scottish "mafia" is still growing! We may find more Scottish players among the loanees!The changes seem very good, - more vestiges of the Worthington era gone. PG certainly needs someone whom he trusts as his assistant, and somebody who has wide knowledge of the modern game. He has achieved this with his two- in and three-out (Webb, Livermore and Gunny old job), so there should not be any extra fiancial burdens.The only questiojn is how much longer Hunter will feel that he has a job.

Block E Buh 0 Posted February 9, 2007 I think Grant is slowly getting City on the right track. He''s not afraid of an older experinced coach such as Duffy coming in to help, and we all love Gunny who will be great for contacts and morale! Never did know what Livermore did at Norwich, never saw or heard him speak. So Livermore and Robinson are gone, just Hughes to go and Grant will have made real progress.

Syteanric 1 Posted February 9, 2007 Great to have Gunny on board!Well respected, Known throughout football and i think he will make the signing of players a hell of a lot easier!the kids will look up to him as a great role Model too. this is fantastic stuff by Grant!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted February 9, 2007 I''m delighted by this news, Livermore it should be noted has been a very important part of the successful periods that Norwich have had in recent years but I''ve had the impression recently that some of the players think that he is a bit of a soft touch given by the performances that we have seen from some players recently. (Certain players have been playing in an obvious comfort zone) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cluck 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Gunn?........Jobs for the boys again....and a classic case of the emotional merry-go-round that is NCFC these days. Never mind the quality....feel the waaaarmth....Sorry guys....but while he has my utmost respect for what has happened in his life.....he isn''t what we need to grab this shower by the scruff of the neck and shake them.

Shack Attack 0 Posted February 9, 2007 It''s all good as far as I''m concerned and can only help freshen things up around the place.Just one thing though, what exactly does a ''liason officer'' (or whatever Gunny''s official title is) do and why exactly do we need one. I''m not complaining, I just don''t really get it. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king of latvia 0 Posted February 9, 2007 why the hell didnt pg do this at the beginning.lets hope this will kick start the season i know its late but we could go on a good run and possable get into the play offs dont laugh but we must be positive about this.

Chunky! 0 Posted February 9, 2007 I think Hunter should remain at the club, he is a well respected coach who can only help us! Most clubs have a First Team Coach, Assistant Manager and Manager, so I think that Hunter remaining at the club will cause us no expense or clash of roles.OTBC!Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted February 9, 2007 Great news!! Livermore gone and replaced by a well respected person with managerial experienced.Gunn brought in from Marketing to find us new talent and I''m sure with his enthusiam and contacts he''ll do a great job.I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.[:D] Cluck - Will this club ever do anything to please you??

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Czechoslovakia enjoyed what they called ''The Velvet Revolution'' during the 90''s as two countries split.Norwich are also enjoying a ''Velvet Revolution'' as Grant re-shuffles his team and squad. I like the way this is being conducted and I like the way we are moving forward. I refuse to join any queue or take any old seat but I will definately consider season ticket availability once renewals are finished with.If I cannot get one, so be it, it was right to not renew last season and I will happily live with that decision knowing I played a part in influencing matters in some small way.

[/quote]Seems to me we need someome with some contacts our end of the blower bigging up NCFC. We''ve had problems attracting players here either permanently or loans and it appears from what I''ve read after transfer windows, that Doncaster does a lot of the leg work - someone with no long term football experience. As far as I''m concerned, anything Gunny can do to improve our image with network can only be a good thing. This leaves the manager and assistant to get on with the work of getting the team ready.

blahblahblah 2 Posted February 9, 2007 Cluck - Bryan Gunn is well respected throughout the industry, both as a player and for what he has done since. Why shouldn''t Grant use his contacts, knowledge and experience, just because he has been employed in a different role in the past ? Just because a new manager comes in, doesn''t mean that everyone beneath him needs to be replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cluck 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Now....I can see what I said about Gunn is not popular....but that is to some extent my gripe with NCFC. I have alot of respect for the man....but as with all things familiar....life can get too cosy. The small circle within the club has become very introverted....and that can breed an equally small mentality. A new face and some fresh ideas could widen their vision....and let''s face it....it''s not exactly been so dynamic in recent years that we should look to continue a dynastyRe Bowen and Crook EM.....While they are ex-players, they had been away from CR for a long time and so potentially learnt many new tricks. Had Gunn been elsewhere recently to widen his parameters....fair enough....but he is classic of the institutionalisation Delia seems to encourage. Yet more of the same.The Liverpool "boot room" might well have become famous by recruiting from within....but that was based on years of success...... not years of stagnation.Yes he''s a legend....but so is Norman Wisdom.....and all he did was fall over........

Gunn already had a job within the club as an Ambassador. I think he will be a good appointment and as many others have pointed out he is a man with a lot of respect throughout football. He is City through and through and I can''t imagine he will stand for too many of the "easy life boys" afflicting the club at the minute. He was certainly no soft touch as a player (1st City player to be sent off 3 times, I think) and had no problems letting his back 4 know when they weren''t doing their jobs!Now we just need Iwan back as reserve team coach................

Yes he is from within the club but his former appiontment bares no significance to his new. He has been brought into this role because of his connections within the game. His knowledge and links with former players and managers. These are obviously connections of a greater standing that Livermores, hence the change. Grant has done this because he feels that he has a better chance of getting the players he wants with Gunn as the figurehead on the transfer front. We all want to see more opportunity to bring in better players, so lets allow the manager to bring in who he wants. It''s all part of his plan and that has time develop yet. Internal or external, not an issue for me providing the results are right for the club and I don''t see why Gunns links would hamper this goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
