The Voice Of Reason 0 Posted February 9, 2009 It''s playing on my mind that Butterworth applied for the managers job before it was given to Gunn.http://www.pinkun.com/content/ncfc/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PINKUNOnline&tCategory=Norwich&itemid=NOED05%20Feb%202009%2010%3A17%3A33%3A083I think that is the link, it''s a pinkun report 05/02/09 Butterworth - Survival Is The KeyI can''t help thinking that this small detail might turn out to be significant as the season ends and events develop. I think all the management team are out of contract at the close of the season but it will prove interesting to see how badly Butterworth wants the top job.

JJ 0 Posted February 9, 2009 It wouldn''t surprise me whether we stay up or go down, if Butterworth would step in anyway. I reckon a lot of what we have now will stay in place for the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 9, 2009 it will be crook.... he wont give up a job thousans of miles away for a few months with no guarentee of a contract or job at the end of it would he? he''d be a fool if he did...as far as im concerned Ian Crook is already Norwich City manager in all but name, he is just getting to know the players in training etc and stamp his seal on things before its all made official...just my thoughts.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna Grey 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Good in some respects if true. Competition for places not just in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stany 0 Posted February 9, 2009 There is definitely something there for Crook. Totally agree that Gunn will move back upstairs again. Wouldn''t be surprised to see Chippy''s best mate Bowen back in some capacity, providing him and Hughes get sacked at Man City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
