Gunny must not be punished for previous managers'' and the boards mistakes. If he is not given a chance to continue the revival it would be a travesty. The darkest hour is just before the dawn...He has demonstrated integrity, people and man management skills and has the respect of managers and people in the game at the highest levels, 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.

Why is Bryan Gunn claiming he "only had nine days" in the transfer window when his previous role was head of player recruitment - meaning he would have been dealing with identified targets well before he took the managers role?Sound like a bloody poor excuse from Gunn to be honest.

A selection will be printed in Monday''s EDP....

Keep it clean.

The board have now lost a huge number of the fans'' support not through making mistakes, but by a continual arrogant unwillingness to acknowledge and learn from these mistakes. Now is not the time to blame money in football, snide fan comments or bad luck, we have relegated because of mismanagement of the resources we did have and the buck stops at the top.

Although it wont get printed, i think **** off would sum it up rather well, same applies to Gunn and his managerial staff.

Save £180,000 a year by sacking Neil Doncaster for a start, then stop overvaluing a league 1 club at 56million, and finally if you know footballs become all about money then step down and let someone who knows this run the club untill a buyer with money can take over.

My message to the board is this:

In your appalling managerial and investment decisions, you have done great harm to this club. It is absolutely paramount you finally learn from your litany of blunders, and appoint someone with demonstrable footballing expertise to the board at once. This man should be charged with appointing a manager with a track record of success - something you have failed to do since 1998. The joint majority shareholders, who''ve acknowledged they know little or nothing about football, should play no part in this process; and instead, throw the kitchen sink at finding new investment and ultimately a new buyer. To do this, it is imperative they remove the absurd conditions they have set in order for someone to buy them out, and even more that they understand that expecting to influence the new owner once he''s taken over, or that he must run the club in their image, is simple cloud cuckoo land.

Our demise has been the responsibility of the board. If what happened on Sunday does not shake them out of their shameful complacency, nothing will; and if they fail yet again, it will be for the fans to decide for ourselves how best to go about removing them for the good of Norwich City Football Club.

Your mistakes are manifold, you have failed us entirely and you must bear witness for your unmitigated failings.

Our once great club has now sunk to its lowest point in fifty years and yet on Sunday I was deeply proud to have stood with my fellow supporters where once again we provided indelible evidence that we are lions led by donkeys.

When you sit down to consider who should manage this club base it on achievement and a proven track record, not how nicely he answers questions at an interview. Make a list of managers who have suceesfully brought teams up from League 1, with the level of resource we have available, and go and get him. No application forms, no interviews, just do it. Take a leaf out of Ipswich''s book for once. PS The answer is not Bryan Gunn.

prudence and ambition, and a bright future is not what i would consider norwich city football club has , or will ever have with the current board at norwich city.

this club is being run like a circus ,with clowns at the helm .

very bad management choices with regards to grant and roeder , one with no experience, the other with no respect to fans and players alike ,guided us to misery and failure .

overpaid under-performing loan players with no commitment to the club and no heart for the colours they should be wearing with pride .

releasing players that have norwich citys best  interests at heart and have proven thier worth to this great was also a costly mistake .

promises of investments at norfolks biggest show , and the child antics at half time on a premeirship match , proved to me the type of people we have running this great club respected by fans all over the world .

its a shambles , if i didnt care so much i would find it funny , we must be the laughing stock of english soccer.

The board have done the impossible, by turning the clock back 50 years, we don''t deserve this they have murdered us, and to blame the big money men for our Demise is utter rubbish, they have caused it no one else,

The appointment of the manager is the biggest decision that the board can make.  League 1 is no place for a novice.  As others have said, target a successful league 1 manager, and offer him whatever it takes to bring him here.  Then give him as much support as is financially viable.

Get out of OUR club, you have had your chance and been found very very wanting!

 

We deserve a Board who put Football first and the infrastructure a very distant second.

Please learn from this experience. Whats done is done and there''s no changing it now, but the club must learn from this and move on again. We need football direction from the board to the pitch. Use this experience to turn the club around and take us back where we should be.

Be honest and clear with the fans.  Most of us are not daft and can see through the PR smokescreen that enters the room with Mr Doncaster as does fog with Dracula.  The whole reason fans have turned is because of the complete self ricteousness that is forced onto us.  We had that with Chase and South before him.  Honesty is the best policy.

I hope gunn doesnt get the job as he is a great bloke but just doesnt have enough experience! I think the board should push the boat out and employ a experienced manager who can guide us to promotion and back to mid-table/play-offs in the championship.
