Time to go Delia 0 Posted May 5, 2009 [quote user="shareholder-fairy"]Totally aggree, Gunn should be given a chance, It''d be a travesty if he was made a scapegoat for others'' mistakes. his ability to recruit Butterworth and Crook shows his acumen- Butterworth has the highest level of coaching ability and qualifications and with the creativity and excellence of Crook this combination provides an exciting new dawn for the club. He was willing to take on the trail of destruction and dessimation left by Roeder, appointed days before the transfer deadline with no money to spend...who else was queing up under these circumstances? Roeder left the players broken and whipped and it takes time to turn things around. They have shown their love and commitment to the club, the least they deserve is to be given the opportunity to put their collective expertise into practice. The fact that we were still in with, albeit a whisker of a chance, of survival right to the last match of the season shows that, given a clean slate, they have the capacity to take this club back to where it belongs. Loan players by and large haven’t worked. Given Gunn’s brief track record of pulling in McDonald, Smith, Shacks and Lee who have shown passion for City then what a prospect to have a whole team of players with the qualities Gunn has identified in them. Appointing a manager from lower leagues would be a big mistake and smacks more of the lack of ambition the board have been accused of.[/quote]BINNER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taxing 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Gunn inherited this team of no hopers from Roeder. The fact that most of the players couldn''t get themselves motivated for key matches such as Ipswich away, Reading and Charlton shows what a sorry and useless bunch most of them are. I was at Charlton on Sunday and one positive that did stand out for me was the two players who really did play out of their socks were players that Gunn brought to the club - Lee and MacDonald plus Smith who Gunn "promoted" to the first team. Doherty and Gunn tried hard but, let''s face, it they really are a couple of cart horses. Like many other less vociferous supporters, I have a high opinion of Gunn and believe that he has the potential to become a good, long term manager for Norwich City FC. He now has major surgery to perform like any other manager, be it a Boothroyd or Robbins, who may have take over the job. Our frustration and indignation over the shocking decline of our wonderful club should be reserved for Delia Smith and the truly awful self-serving directors that she appointed............. not Gunn.
