Dream ticket hopes fading

[Yellow Rider 0]

Lets face it I think most of us would have been excited and reinvigorated had Malky and Boothroyd returned to Carrow Road. However with this apalling farce of the Worthy ''approach'' now being publicly exposed, surely the dream ticket is just that?

Clearly the club either have no intention of offering them the jobs OR one / both of them have told them where to stuff it (although I would not believe that for one second). It takes a lot to make me angry in fact I''ve often been described as ''so laid back you''re almost horizontal'' but last night and this morning I''m absolutely raging!

I''m sure they''ll make the most crass appointment possible yet again; somebody just like Grant or Roeder who nobody mentioned as likely managerial candidates!

According to ND this morning there''s applications, shortlists and interviews to go through. We always do that.

The clutching at straws bit is that they are just pretending and that they know who manager is and will be announced Monday so he can get in new players before window closes.

They just want to surprise us.

I''ve just put a tenner on them appointing Fabian Wilnis!

[/quote]I am the same as you Rider, angry.

Firstly I can''t believe they even

entertained the idea of getting Worthington back.  At the end of

his time here he was unable to inspire confidence in players, playing

players out of position and generally clueless.  Have the board

forgotten that it was he who set us on the path to where we are now

and that they sacked him for it?   I can''t recall another

club bringing back a manager they sacked and having success. 

Normally it''s managers who resigned that come back not those handed

their P45!!  Having said that though, I am not surprised he is

not interested though after the way he was given "2 games to

turn it round" and sacked in what seemed like minutes after the

Burnley defeat.Secondly, and a worse thought than getting

Worthy back, is that the board are obviously keen on an

interim/caretaker manager.  Have they learnt nothing, do they no

longer have a long-term plan?  All the short-term loans on the

pitch have been touted as a problem by former players etc and now

they want short-term manager too?  I despair, I really do and I

have resigned myself to the club appointing someone "until the

end of the season".  The club will also dress such

appointment as "being sensible and prudent considering the

current economic climate in football and the economy in

general".Thirdly (and scariest of all) even I as a long

time cynic of our board of directors didn''t believe that they would

sack a manager in the middle of January without having some sort or

solid idea, if not agreement with a replacement able to takeover

asap.  I was, it appears, very wrong and we are now fumbling

around in the dark with time in the window running out and huge gaps

in our squad.

[/quote]Am angry too. We just go from one nightmare to another and your last paragraph highlights the gravity of the situation.

The only dream ticket City fan''s will get is a refund on the one they''ve already bought.

Many on this board form their opninons about the Board as if they had hundreds of options to choose from in our current situation. It might not be the case. A tentative move for Worthy (for whom some even started a campaign on this message board less than a week ago) suggests desperation. We don''t know the whole story. As a matter of  fact, we have a threadbare squad with a defence and attack that both need strenghening immediately (without money to spend), we''re in relegation form, and have an infuriated fanbase that hates the Board more than anything. What makes us think that candidates are queueing for the job?

Neil Adams continually says that people would queue for the job.  Bearing in mind he probably is privy to knowing who applied last time, and the fact that we have the base for the premier league and 25,000 fans a week, I would say yes people are interested in the job.
