JuanVelasco 27 Posted May 12, 2009 They have my full support, ideally I would swap the roles to have Crook or Butterworth as manager with Gunn as an assistant, but otherwise there is no way that I would want them sacked.What the hell is the point in getting another manager in, with little money, and who would probably want to spend yet more money on releasing the coaching squad. For me the only people that I would want associated with this club as much as those three would be Huckerby and Dublin. We are talking about our best midfielder and one of our best defenders of the last 20 years, and certainly the best goalkeeper.Were talking about three players who couldnt have shown more passion for this football club during their careers and who are determined to get this club out of a mess. Whats the alternative? to get another plastic journeyman who has probably never even been to Norwich out of choice?Today a former Scotland International goalkeeper has decided to sell a current Scottish International goalkeeper (well at least agreed to it, I suspect). That a bold and brave decision, and one that im sure the management team did out of a belief that it was the right thing to do - and it was. Their only permanent signing since taking over has been Cody McDonald, who looks a real snip and a long term choice, and from all the loan signings this season - about 20? - the best two have come in Gunns Reign - Alan Lee and Jason Shackell.I suggest that should the club decide to keep these three, that you lot of negative haters give them a chance. Without being given a chance, they have no chance - its as simple as.Three of the best city players of the last 20 years want to build us a team that has a level of passion to rival theirs. I cant argue with that, and neither should you. They have been honest, frank, committed and thats everything that Glen Roeder and Neil Doncaster havent been.They have spent £25,000 on transfers and now have to go into a pre season with probably nothing more than a few hundred thousand pounds, they have to rely on nothing but their judgement of character, Butterworths knowledge of league one and two, and Crooks charisma...... no money, simple as, no money.If I had to choose one team to pick the right men for the job it would be three men that have done the same job well for us in the past. People are talking about Paul Ince for christs sake, what the hell is he going to do for us? Is he going to care about the long term future? Is he hell, he is going to assemble a squad that will do half well for a year so that he can get a job with a successful team again. Other people are talking about Mark Robins, what the hell is the difference between Bryan Gunn and Mark Robins? well, except that Mark Robins was here for how long? 12 months? 24 months at the most, nothing. Just another former player. Yeah he has done ok at Rotherham, but Mark Robins is to Rotherham what Gunn is to Norwich. If you could read the mind of Mark Robins, it will tell you that he is a Rotherham fan.Have faith in these winners. Yes thats right, those three are winners. With no Neil Doncaster (who i must add NEGOTIATED THE CONTRACTS), surely those three can be left alone to do what they do best - on the training ground.Come on city. We are Norwich City, we should be proud to be Norwich city, like our management team are proud to be Norwich City. You, me, everybody else on here, can still honestly say that they are proud to be a Norwich City fan. More than a fan, you are part of Norwich City and Norwich City is part of you. No other colours will ever make me, or you, feel this emotion.Lets keep our chins high, keep our principles for passionate attractive football - AT ANY LEVEL - and fight back.

Rustys 1st Touch 0 Posted May 12, 2009 When will people learn. It''s not passion and commitment that makes you a good manager, it''s not even whether they were great players when they played for us in the past, its about results on the pitch. Gunn failed this season and we can''t risk him failing again next season.We need to start appointing managers with a track record of success. Gannon, Tilson and Robins are far superior managers based not on passion and commitment but on their ability to build a successful team and motivate them to win football games.That''s what has been lacking in our previous managerial appointments - a track record of success. It''s now time for the club to appoint someone who has shown in the past they can create a football team that wins games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I think ryan you are missing the point, the facts stand 19 games 5 wins, relegation......now i seem to trick myself in being optimistic, the problem i have is Gunn,Butterworth,Crook are supposed to be a team, if we point the finger at Gunn then we point the finger at them all, Agreed they had little money but Gunn and his teams tactics are really poor, they never seem to be able to read the game and we still had a chance to stay up, but instaed of throughing the kitchen sink at the games he sat back and waited for it to happen........He never instills confindence in his after match comment, and to he seems like he hasnt got a clue what he''s on about!!!! Now im one for giving people a chance, but i think Gunn has had his! Maybe Crook is the answer, but Gunn certainly isnt!! Your comments a bout robins ar a joke, the fact is Robins in his own right earned his status at carrow road, the fact he has experince goes along way!\But as a Norwich fan i aways seem to back what we have, at this point we dont have Gunn.....but if he is appointted i will give it a chance, but i wont be happy!!

Billabong Willytickle 0 Posted May 12, 2009 [quote user="ryan85k"][quote user="Loan City Fc "]Gunn is the worst manager in this clubs history , appointed for no other reason than he might get a few more people to buy season tickets , time to go back to being Mr Oddjob Gunn or the support will be split from the first game next season.[/quote]Ridiculous statement, worst manager in the clubs history according to who?Because according to the statistics, Gunny is already better than Roeder, Hamilton, Megson, Deehan......He is being judged on Glen Roeders squad for christs sake.It doesnt matter if you are Jose Mourinho or Mike Bassett, nobody had a chance with that team of wasters. Why cant you see that it was the team, yeah blame the board, Doncaster and Roeder, but dont blame the person that was brave enough to try and pick up the pieces.[/quote]your whole argument seems founded on the notion that because they were great players and care about the club the should be able to manage the club which they failed at last year.I just cant see the logic in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
