We need a manager that CARES

[SuperWesIrishWizard 0]

A lot is said about having loan players that dont care about City. At the AGM Roeder was disrespectful to the fans.Getting a manager in that cares about the club, cares about the fans and knows the history, seems like the right move to me. Somebody that the fans can get excited about and relate to.My prime candidate would be Mark Bowen, however im sure his job as Man City assistant is more attractive than Norwich manager could be worth a try.Alternatives include:Mike Walker Ian CrookIwan RobertsDion DublinNone of those would require much money and would probably take a short term contract (what were we thinking giving ANYBODY two and half years if we knew we couldnt afford to sack them?)

Bowen will be available soon when the Arab Mancs change Manager, but he is only a number 2

I want Boothroyd & Malky.

Dion Dublin for me.The 1 reason I''d want to keep Roeder is that if he stays this club will

remain on a stable path. However there is no hiding from the fact that

almost every player we have at the club is shot of confidence. I no

longer believe Roeder, nor did i ever really believe, that he had a

connection with the players. I think it was mainly Dion who was the

main motivator for the squad last season.I now believe it has

got to the stage where there needs to be a drastic change of personnel

at the club, as the current are not functioning correctly. I''ve heard

from many fans of the club (such as yourself SuperWes), that have connections with the players that Roeder is heavily disliked by a

vast amount of players at Norwich. That worries me, as i think we all

know that could be seriously destructive for the club, and if thats the

case, it must be changed at all costs, or it will see us decline for as

long as the current staff are at the club.I personally think

Dion Dublin should be manager. Not an idea that will be appreciated by

all, and i accept there will be financial difficulties if it were to

happen. However i believe Dion beholds the foundations of which is required in order to be a successful manager.I

think the respect held amongst people within the footballing industry

toward Dublin is one that will stand him in good stead as a manager.

His connections, as is the case with Roeder, could be considered large,

and unlike Peter Grant, i don''t think he will fall short of backing

from other well known figures within football.Another reason i

believe him to be a good contender for the managerial hotseet at

Norwich is that he is a known, well liked and respected figure amongst

the players. I feel with Dublin that he had a larger influence amongst

the players in his time here than even the manager or staff did.

Players like Mark Fotheringham, Darel Russell, Jason Shackell, Chedwyn

Evans, and even Darren Huckerby talked about how Dion Dublin, when

their performances went unnoticed, he would talk to them individually

and motivate them to continue their efforts, and often indicated that

because of Dion they not lose heart. Almost a coach for the side when

Roeder fell short in those areas of management.And that''s one

of the biggest reasons why i think he should be a managerial contender.

I heard people who had held conversations with the man, and they often

emphasised how Dion Dublin would often say the biggest difference

between Roeder and the likes of Ferguson was that Sir Alex was willing

to listen to players, something Roeder apparently lacked. Dublin

himself would give the players his time and attention as a veteran

within football if you like, when Roeder was fairly distant from the

players.It''s true he lacks experience, but i think the fact he

can easily and confidently differentiate from good and bad managers

shows he is fairly knowledgeable when it comes to managing. He has the

backing within the industry, of people that will happily give him his

attention and support as well.Come to think of it, he was

actually interviewed to be manager at Norwich when Peter Grant had

left. I even seem to remember him being quite disappointed at not

getting the job.Despite being on contract to sky, i believe he

should at least be considered. He beholds the correct sort of

personality and character to have a positive influence on the players,

and he appears to be a familiar character to the players, and one i

think they''d want to perform well for.I honestly believe he could turn this clubs fortunes around, and offers the exact kind of change we need.

BRING BACK CHIPPY. perhaps with Dion as his number 2. But with Dion probably on a very good deal with sky sports we prob can''t match his wages unbelieveably.Ian Crook though loves this club and is a good manager, albeit in australia. However I think he left his last job coz fell out with his clubs chairman, so if he speaks his mind then we''ll never see him here under this regime
