canarynotsonew77 0 Posted May 1, 2009 I have to say Gunn really annoys me. I hate it when people say "oh everyone loves Gunn" - no they don''t, I don''t. I''m a season ticket holder and it just annoys me seeing him on the touchline each week.When we launched the kit I felt that it was more about Gunn promoting his family rather than the new kit. It was just very very naff that his daughter was involved. Gunn loves the limelight and power that being manager brings. I was working on an event once that was put on by Archant. The lady who I was working with was talking about special guests we could invite to the event. Someone suggested Bryan Gunn, he comment was "No, not Gunn, everytime you open a door Gunn seems to be there", meaning he''s always getting his face seen somewhere. I have no time for Gunn at all.

CANARY CHARGE 0 Posted May 1, 2009 As a canary legend of the past, i think thats where he should stay! on his performaces and the way he conducts himself on the side lines and in interviews, he gives no confidence he is the man for the job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted May 1, 2009 [quote user="canaryspike7"]Gunn loves the limelight and power that being manager brings. [/quote]Very true this. It seems that Mr Gunn is a bit of a show off. Always boasting about his friendships and close ties with fellow managers. The problem is he isnt a very good one. Deep down I reckon Gunn knows this journey will only be a short one and is making the most of the little time he has left. Lets face facts, he wont venture back into management after his awful record here. Unless there is a truly desperate team out there ofcourse. Mr Gunn is the last of the true pretenders imo.

norfolkchance1 0 Posted May 1, 2009 I think what annoyed me was the process that ended up with him being the manager, first it was the Northern Irish FA turning down an approach for Worthy which was bad enough then followed by one game against Barnsley in which everything went for us he is given the job.

SNAP 0 Posted May 1, 2009 At last some sanity! The bloke isn''t a football manager. He has no experience, qualifications or background to be a manager. If we had money Bryan Gunn would still be organising golf days. Anyone on here think Gunn would have got anywhere near the manager''s job if the board had a pot to p**s in?

Bury Yellow 2 Posted May 1, 2009 ...and as for the apparent brilliance of bringing in Crooky (no experience at this level, not much knowledge of this division) and Butterworth (sacked Asst Manager, Cardiff and kicking around the lower leagues as a coach). Marvellous!I will qualify that by saying Butters could have been a useful addition, I suspect, if the club were in progressive mode but none of them are the right choice for the situation we have found ourselves in this season.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted May 1, 2009 I find Gunny''s voice ever so slightly irritating, but not nearly as annoying as Chris Boreham''s. He always sounds as though he''s deeply in love with himself and I find his Norritch (Norridge) and Schhtriker (striker) pronunciations irritating in the extreme.

. 0 Posted May 2, 2009 He may be a "modern" legend.... but he doesn''t hold a candle compared to our truly great ''keeper Kevin Keelan. Nice bloke...tragic episode with his daughter for which I have the utmost respect...but not in the same league as a player as some who have gone before him. But for his dubious Smith induced ambassadorial position he would be a largely forgotten figure by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
