canarytim 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Every time I spoke to Mr Munby he came across as a person who supported this club to the core, so I do not think we should "celebrate" his leaving.I do not think that the Chairman at any of the other league clubs were as accessible as Roger was.So for my part I thank him for all the time & effort he has put in as our chairman.But things had to change and I do feel that in Neil Doncaster''s case he has done the right thing. He has always been to closely linked to the "ambition with prudence" mantra that has so enraged the fans.Now the club need to start the search for an EXPERIENCED manager. And he needs to be appointed as soon as possible.We need to be first in for new players, a mistake Glenn Roeder made which left us without a centre-forward for nearly all of last season.

Ren 75 Posted May 12, 2009 Roger was always very helpful when I spoke to him, geniuine nice guy as the supporters groups will all agree. However this football club needs a fresh start as I am sure even Roger would agree. Good luck to him, but its time to begin restructuring and to move this club forward.Neil Doncaster - No comment, wont be missed by me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SitTee 0 Posted May 12, 2009 I really liked roger munby and its a shame to see him go. I agree with NeilD going though but munby was more commited to norwich than neil would ever be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 148 Posted May 12, 2009 I agree, Munby was a good figure head, and I''m sure we''ll remain very much his second club after his beloved Hull City! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary02 III 0 Posted May 12, 2009 I think both are actually nice people and neither has intentionally done anything wrong. They''ve just been part of a group that has made some disasterous decisions regarding Team Managers which has brought the club to its lowest position in donkeys, and which has run its course and needs changing.

I think Munby hinted that he would step down in his shell shocked interview after the Charlton match. Think he''s behaved well. Very pleased Doncaster has gone - but he had his strengths and was happy to correspond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted May 12, 2009 I think Munby has stepped down too to try save Doncaster and Delia some face.Afterall, they are just two frontmen used to take some of the spice out of the recipie of Delia.Clever, but we''ll see through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,615 Posted May 12, 2009 No problem with Munby. I don''t think he had to go because of himself, but moreso to help towards a ''clean start'' with the club. Agree with Doncaster leaving, but it is a bit of a shame in regards to Roger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Boy 0 Posted May 12, 2009 They are probably both very nice people, but they screwed up too many times on the important things. Huge sums of money were squandered, and they seemed clueless as to how to stop that. They gambled on managers because they hadn''t done enough homework, then used the fact that they weren''t football experts as an excuse. When you''re in positions of power like that, excuses are irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
