Boothroyd constructed a good squad, on a budget and then had it systematically sold from underneath him. Hence why Elton John resigned as their President.

Paul Spector 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Would rather him to Dowie, or Ollie though - we need someone with personal links to the club IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I think that he knows the club, has the experiance to do it and would bring some old Norwich players with the passion for the club. Who would you have Ricky?I keep changing from one moment to the next, but on the list is Curbs, Robins, Boothroyd, Fergusan Jnr, Martinez, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 14, 2009 im not convinced by Boothroyd either....Tilson would be a good punt i reckon....jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,382 Posted January 14, 2009 I am very uncertain of him. Curbishley for me....I just feel he would suit city and vice versa. He has experience over Aidy too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdi 366 Posted January 14, 2009 Boothroyd''s preferred football style would have people up in arms if he came here. I for one really don''t fancy a return to the days of hoofball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duffman 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I cant make my mind up about Aidy.This does make good reading......http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidy_BoothroydIt musnt be forgotten that he made the play offs when they got relegated which is a pretty hard thing to do as most teams tend to struggle. Then they were forced to sell the likes of Ashley Young and then it all went sour.If he came with Malky then I think I would be happy with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berkshire Canary 12 Posted January 14, 2009 Agree with you Ricky, one of my mates is a Watford fan and reckons Boothroyd is a good motivator but is tactically inept and that their troubles began when one of the head coaches left.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted January 14, 2009 [quote user="jas the barclay king"]im not convinced by Boothroyd either....Tilson would be a good punt i reckon....jas :)[/quote]Boothroyd : 1 promotion, 2 play-offs, 1 FA Cup Semi.Tilson : 1 promotion to the championship, currently 14th with Southend.Boothroyd would be the pragmatic answer. He knows how to win games in this league. He knows Norwich City. And he''s available.As for hoofball - I''m not a fan of it either, but would it be any worsethan the pretty but ineffective football that has us level with 3rdfrom bottom ?

John Boubepo 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Boothroyd has a personality which already puts him way above Grant or Roeder, I don''t think you can underestimate how important it is for players to both like and respect their manager, if you want to get the best out of them that is, if you need convincing just ask Glen Roeder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky knight 0 Posted January 14, 2009 my favourite though unrealist target would be Fergie Jnr, Bowen, i like Ince personally although i understand many dont, realistic target, Mark Robins with Malkey or Crook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renegade tootsie 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Blah has hit the nail on the head.Bothroyd:1 promotion, 2 play-offs, 1 FA Cup Semi.Available immediately without a pay off to another club.Knows the club.Likely to bring back Huckerby to the bench.Likely to bring an ex player in as his number two.Plays direct football - and as pretty passing has failed what choice is there to get the points now?Surely people can see why he is the obvious choice - but alas we still read posts by people who, not content with the sh*t the club is in seem to want it to do a kamikaze act by gambling on a lower league manager or an unproven one.Curbishley - we can''t afford him.[quote user="blahblahblah"][quote user="jas the barclay king"]im not convinced by Boothroyd either....Tilson would be a good punt i reckon....jas :)[/quote]Boothroyd : 1 promotion, 2 play-offs, 1 FA Cup Semi.Tilson : 1 promotion to the championship, currently 14th with Southend.Boothroyd would be the pragmatic answer.

Rocky Rocastle 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Lets face it:Curishley - too expensive in terms of salaryFergie Jr - too expensive in terms of pay offBowen - board won''t recruit a 1st time manager againTilson - 14th in league 1 enough saidMrtinez - why woul he come here?That leave''s 2 real options:Boothroyd - possibleInce - possible (Has worked wonders at 2 league clubs)Knowing that the club always prefer a local, my money is all over Bothroyd (and I think he''ll do a great job, providing he brings in a DOF and a strong experienced assistant) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowfuture 71 Posted January 14, 2009 It doesnt matter who we get, if the Board are not prepared to lengthen their little arms and reach for their pockets we will still be in the sh..t.Fine we will undoubtedly get a lift from whats happened and probably string an important few results together, but in the long run unless we buy some quality it wont make any difference.The Board have let themselves off the hook and bought themselves a bit of time and support from some of the fans, but dont forget who appointed Roeder not that long ago and who failled to give him any cash.

Clever Farke 63 Posted January 14, 2009 Curbs is the stand out candidate who ticks all the boxes, except that he will cost us - Local businessman to help out there? I''d be delighted if we got him. Boothroyd would be a great impact manager to keep us up - hopefully, and along with Malky know the club, Delia and so on. I could even see Fleming or Malky given a caretaker role.At least we have a chance to turn things around now. If we go down, we go down but I''m so happy Roeder has been booted outDisasterous appointments would be Dowie, Jewel, Ince, keane, Robson and Pardew. ie big names like Roeder, have big egos and are actually rubbish.
