Branston Pickle 3,673 Posted October 30, 2007 We could have done a lot lot worse; clearly not everyone''s cup of tea but I just hope he is given a fair chance before he gets completely slated - what would the gain be in doing anything different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted October 30, 2007 poor appointment IMO, hopefully he will do well however. If we go down it is the Board''s fault entirely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybird 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Give him a chance. Radio Norfolk gave the example of when Mike Walker took us to 3rd in the Premiership and then went to Everton and couldn''t do anything there. Every club a manager joins is different for him. Hope I''m not proved wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bongo Boy 0 Posted October 30, 2007 i know we must give him a chance..but a very very sad day....... we got the manager that failed elsewhere.......they wont laugh will they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardhouse44 261 Posted October 30, 2007 [quote user="anothatracksuitmanager"]give the guy a chance already[/quote]Why. Why cut another numpty slack. Who cut us slack in out jobs. He''s got no personality no spark no past achievements to speak of. Why give him a chance. What do we owe him. Nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Sort of figures, really. Worthington mk.2; dour, efficient, boring. grim, charismatically challenged, steady ...steadily down??????? I pray not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Cheap option yet again. Well done Cook, youve surpassed yourself. Pathetic. 3 weeks to turn up this guy? you may as well have stuck with Grant. Hopefully this will see a swift end brought to Smith and Cos involvment with Norwich City. Absolute, total crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Road to Nowhere 0 Posted October 30, 2007 I''m trying to be optimistic about this but really struggling. Feel very let down again. I hope this apparent gamble works but not confident.Nothing a derby win won''t clear up though. OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Fett 0 Posted October 30, 2007 I like Glen Roeder i think he is an experienced manager with good knowledge of the game. What does worry me is he doesnt appear to be able to motivate people which is the one thing more than anything that we need right now. Dont know what the options were in the end but he is definately someone the board would have liked ie conformist.Finger crossed very tightly! Anyone know who his assistant is??

Branston Pickle 3,673 Posted October 30, 2007 [quote user="MK Canary"]If it goes t*ts up now - there''s no-one to blame but the board[/quote]...ok, fair enough but it works both ways - will you give them the credit if it works out?For me, I''m 50:50 - not who I would have chosen but far from as bad as we could have had, surely. We don''t know yet what he''ll do, we have to give him a chance to prove himself before we pass judgement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In Gunns Hands We Trust! 0 Posted October 30, 2007 I''m confused by this appointment.He has only been partly sucessfull once. Finishing 7th in the Prem.Alot of near relegation finishes in his managment career.My mate is a Hammers Fan and he''s Laughing at the appointment.And the time i spent up in Newcastle, thy didn''t rate him at all!!!!!!

Balham Yellow 0 Posted October 30, 2007 It''s ...............Captain Charisma.This is an awful choice in my book. Based on what credentials has the job been given to him. He just cuts such a forlorn, downtrodden, helpless figure. Not exectly what''s needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cottaging Canary 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Furious about this, can''t see any reason why we want him. I hope he proves me wrong though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow Fink 0 Posted October 30, 2007 What cr*p He didnt nearly take Newcastle down - Souness did that, Roeder came in & pushed them up the table! - If you look at his most recent management job then he had a win ratio of 45% - give the bloke a chance - he''s got more credentials than Grant!! Get your facts straight!CRS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Costa-Canary 0 Posted October 30, 2007 could have been better, could have been worse. Jewel was the only name that stood out above the rest but he was never going to come here anyway. So lets see what he can do i would never right someone off before they have had the chance to prove themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
