koimatsuba 0 Posted October 15, 2007 ...... Well have they even bothered asking about Jewell or even Bruce from Brum.Or have we just been the family club, little old Norwich, who has to settle for second best again!Surley its not that hard to do, ask the agent to speak to the manager direct or ask the club for permission.Put forward a package and 3-4 year deal. Pay them the Prem wage they desire. Ask them what they want from the deal!!! Not what we can offer!Ask the turners if they want a bigger stake in Norwich city if they put forward more money for tranfer kitty for new manager. Get the manager the fans will love and the players respect!Up the table we go!WHY IS IT SO HARD?Why do we always see names like PULIS, ALLEN, CROOK, even INCE mentioned. Not good enough!Sorry but its not! Cheers All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie Wonder 0 Posted October 15, 2007 I have been on holiday for 2 weeks so excuse my ignorance but why is Steve Bruce 3rd favourite for the manager''s job. Isn''t he still manager of premier league Birmingham? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted October 16, 2007 we8wba I agree with you about the Jewell point but not about the Bruce point. How do you know that he wouldnt fancy managing his old team, maybe he would maybe he wouldnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many people on this forum seem to think that the board are not doing things just because we''re not getting half hour updates, sorry to find it amusing but I think people are being a little unrealistic. Also we don''t know if they''ve approached managers of even a higher calibre than Bruce or Jewell....But hey...Let''s all assume they lack ambition and are hoping for relegation this season....

koimatsuba 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Relax Boys!I''m just stating that we all know that if you want something in life you have to get it, be it anyway you best can.The fact that its Wednesday Tommorrow and we still haven''t stated who or when the next manager is, only makes me think that we may be actually trying to get the ''right'' man in.I wasn''t asking to be given a name update every day!Its just that last time this all happened with Worthy we heard the same crap as this. High profile managers applying, long list of names, big names etc ..... (spin spin)And we ended up with ''GRANT'' . At the time I thought ...''who''? ok lets go with it. But I also thought ... what happened to the other names lke Curbs, Hoodle, Bowen, Robson etc..Did we actually interview them or just not bother. That was my point, are we going to try to contact Jewell or Bruce or are Norwich accepting that theses names are out of touch and not even bothering.This is my worry, I can''t accept a second best manager again. We need more. Cheers All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WilliamG 0 Posted October 16, 2007 I Know for a fact that yes, the club has had contact with Paul Jewell . This initially happened after the Sheff Wed game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The likilhood is that we HAVE asked Jewell if he''d like an interview, but regardless of whether or not he actually accpeted this is in material as we can''t go around kidnapping people, forcing them at gun-point to sign a 5 year contract and then untie them, and tell ''em to get on with the job!We''ve probably had 50+ cv''s come in, at least, and we may well have approached a few manager''s ourselves, but if they don''t wanna come this way, we can''t force ''em!
