Barry Brockes 145 Posted January 18, 2009 What I find most worrying is that of these candidates, plus others that have been bandied around, such as Dowie, none of them hit me in the face with a ''wow - he''s the man''. There seems to be some sort of question mark against all of them. If you''re looking for someone against whom I don''t think there is a question mark, or at least not a very big one, it would be someone not on that list i.e. Peter Taylor.

Dean Coneys boots 1,398 Posted January 18, 2009 If I was the board I would be forgetting the interviews and falling to my knees before Mr. A Curbishley....as if we COULD convince him - it would be great. I just feel he fits Norwich in his personality and style and that it could be a match made in heaven. All the other candidates leave me thinking ''ok'' but not excited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Costa-Canary 0 Posted January 18, 2009 agreed, curbishley is easily the best man for the job,but i really don''t think he would be interrested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury Yellow 2 Posted January 18, 2009 I must have missed something with Taylor. Apart from success with the under 21''s he''s been a disaster where ever he''s been hasn''t he?Perhaps someone can enlighten me, otherwise i put him slightly lower than our old media friend Butch Wilkins.

He is going to add Wycombe to that list as well this season, but he hasn''t done anything at Championship or Premier League level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libbra Lives in Dubai 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Gunn - 6Robins - 6Boothroyd - 7Mackay - 6Ince - 7.5Hareide - 5I''d like Ince for what he did at Macclesfield and the fighting spirit and devotion he instills in his players. He has good connections in the game and think (if we could afford him he would be good). I also wouldnt mind a Boothroyd/Mackay combo. I think most of the other names being banded around are less realistic (but then I didnt think Roeder stood a chance last time!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was appointed 2 days before we got Roeder. At the time I thought it was unbelievable that someone of his stature would drop to the conference. Having seen Stevenage several times during his reign, believe me you wouldn''t want to watch his style of football week in week out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Brockes 145 Posted January 18, 2009 To be fair though it might be that he had to work with what he had at Stevenage. I''m by no means an expert on non-league football but from what I''ve seen quite a lot of it isn''t very pretty. Curbishley would be my best candidate but I think he''s said that he''s hanging on for a Premiership job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Bone - Superstar 2 Posted January 18, 2009 Strange that Mike Phelan''s name hasn''t been mentioned.Currently Number2 to Ferguson at Man U and quite a few years experience of working with him.Has the green and yellow history factor and should have plenty of good contacts in the game.I suppose the downside is that he hasn''t proved himself at management and may not want to.
