If Gunny fails.

Recommended Posts

He''ll still be a City legend, don''t worry.

Good luck Bryan, you''ve got the character and we know you''ll give it your best shot.

Totally agree Bly.

I don''t really understand the logic of some posters who seem to think that failure as a manager would somehow tarnish Gunny''s achievements as a player. Some have even suggested that this is a valid reason not to give him the job.

I''ll never forget the important saves he made, the rapport he had with the crowd, the bravery he showed in the face of such terrible personal tragedy and the great ambassador he has been for our city. If people can forget these things in the event of things going badly wrong for us then they need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Really nice to see this Bly. I have to admit I peeped at this post through my fingers expecting something a little more devisive (sp?).

[/quote]100% agree. He didn''t have to take the risk and could have played safe but imo stepped forward in our hour of need. Even if it doesn''t work out it says a lot about the man that he didn''t duck the challenge. How could anyone possibly hold this against him?It may work, it may not but the commitment is 100%. Even more of a legend in my opinion! Go for it Gunny!

I think that everyone on here accepts that if the appointment of Gunny et al fails the anger and frustration will be aimed fairly and squarely at the board. On the subject of which, am I right in thinking that there has still been no comment or appearance from Delia? Though I tend to treat the rumour mill on here with the contempt it deserves, I''m really starting to wonder if something''s going on.

Yep, I agree with that Bly, and no doubt some needless job will still be found for him![:|]

It does appear that way to the untrained eye EM, but, I only speak as I find, Gunny is a legend, but he''s lived ruddy well off it for years![:|]

She''s to busy trying to earn money to keep the club in the luxury it has become accustomed to!!

Sorry you didn''t get the job Beau but I''m sure Gunny can find you a post somewhere amongst his mates.

Double for him as Beau fronted[:D]

Good post, breath of fresh air. The appt is only until the end of the season. The Club needed to stabilise the situation without delay and provide continuity. This they have achieved. Gunn, supported by Crook and Butterworth or Malky, will definitely do his utmost to steer the club to safety. If he achieves this (I firmly believe he will), and IMO Roeder would not have done, then the Board and Gunn can review and decide whether he is the man to take the Club to the next level.

Untrained and mis-informed eye I''d say Wiz.  I had many dealings with Gunny when he worked in the Commercial Department and he worked his b*llocks of to attract new sponsors, travelling all over the country to do it.  If you want to criticise at least have some knowledge behind your ill-advised rants!

I think what Wiz said and I agree (also having many years dealing with BG) is that he has made a damn good living out of Norwich City.

He has worked hard at his job both boosting the club and his own reputation.

A legend he most certainly is and having watched him waste minutes at the Munich stadium to ensure our win, in my eyes he always will be.

Also knew JD when he was manager and living in Drayton, another nice guy.

BG as a manager I am still VERY undecided, the sense to put a good team behind him, particularly if Butterwoth joins as well. Management by commitee might just work.

After the last lot anything should be better,we hope.

No, What you said Wiz was : "It does appear that way to the untrained eye EM, but, I only speak as I find, Gunny is a legend, but he''s lived ruddy well off it for years!"

That implied to me, and perhaps others, that you were suggesting freeloading. Perhaps I drew the wrong inference. In fact I must have done because I am sure that you wouldn''t be so uncharitable because it''s just not in your character, is it Wiz ?!
