No Quarter 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Everybody going mental about Gunny getting the job. Its hilarious!! I saw this board "come to life" outside the City stand on the day of the open day. It was so bad it was funny. People thought a few people were hanging about waiting for an autograph!! That summed this message board up to me. I used to come on here because I thought people actually knew what they were talking about, however, the majority (a select few posters aside) talk absolute rhubard, and jump on any bandwagon going. Like the current anti Gunn one. I have not read one reasonable post about why he should not get the job. Just a load of abuse, and the old classic "he''s not a manager", without anything to back it up. Dont get me wrong the Ipswich and Charlton defeats were simply shocking, however I hold the players 100% responsible for that display, not the manager.Keep em coming, I need a laugh!!

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted May 6, 2009 A valid reason why he should not get the job = he relegated us (we were not in the relegation zone when he took over), the fact that he''s not a manager is totally valid.

JF 694 Posted May 6, 2009 Agree with you. You can''t judge a him on other managers players. Any manager in the country would have struggled to keep this team up. He can only be judged after he has had a chance to make the team his own. But under this board he wont get full backing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean moving Shackell from a position where he was our best player over the last 10 games to left back? The actions of a man who didn''t want the job. I actually thought the one positive to come from Sunday''s debacle was that not even our lousy board would carry on with Gunn as manager - the board is even lousier than I thought.

StevoM 0 Posted May 6, 2009 [quote user="No Quarter"] Sure do, and here''s why:-1) He knows how much money he has available - So would anyone else who was in the job for 10 minutes.2) He is keen on utilising the Youth System - Anyone would with our great youth.3) He stated at the fans forum that "you can''t run a football club with loan players in the team" - Any idiot can figure that one out.4) He clearly has a good eye on young, inexpensive talent (Cody McDonald for starters) - He should go back to being Player Recruitment, oh wait he brought in Mooney! Maybe not then.5) He forced the players to go and face the fans after they let the whole club down at Charlton. - Worst excuse ever. His tactics didnt help did they (or lack of)6) Remeber some of the performances while he was in charge (Birmingham and Wolves away for example) WOW, two games!

thebigfeller 200 Posted May 6, 2009 These are the reasons, No Quarter:1. He has no managerial or coaching experience.2. He was hired to pull everyone together and motivate them; instead, we produced two of the most shameful no-shows in the club''s history.3. He has not demonstrated the slightest sign of any tactical understanding whatsoever. For example: see his team sheet on Sunday, which the mild-mannered Kevin Baldwin rightly described as a "suicide note".4. Mid-game, he stands on the sidelines like a rabbit in the headlights instead of knowing what to do to change it.5. When he took over, we were 21st, and outside the relegation zone on goal difference. By the end of the season, we were 22nd, five points adrift of safety. In other words, we somehow managed to get even worse under his stewardship (sic).6. Many of the players who capitulated on Sunday were signed by him.7. As Head of Player Recruitment, he also played a longer-term role in bringing a bunch of clowns, mercenaries and journeymen to the club.8. His only qualification for managing a multi-million pound budget is he''s a nice bloke (and I''m not even convinced about that any more) who played in goal for us. That''s it.His appointment is final confirmation that the board either does not know what it''s doing, is fast heading towards financial disaster, or alternatively, knows full well what it''s doing, and doesn''t care about consigning us to the depths of English league football as long as the manager is a yes man who fits Delia''s cuddly, cosy image. If you think League 1 is easy to get out of, ask the fans of Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, QPR or Leeds. That league is horrible. Playing attractive football doesn''t work unless you have money to spend, as Leicester did: it''s not so much blood and thunder as thud and blunder. If you''re not fully prepared for it, you''ll fail - and it''s impossible for someone who''s not cut his managerial teeth anywhere else to be fully prepared for it. Instead of entering that division with a manager who has proven he knows what he''s doing, we''re entering it on a wing and a prayer. That''s not just unacceptable; it''s an absolute scandal.

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Tactically clueless and thinks a sub is something you get in a sandwich shop. Neal Adams has more coaching experience than this guy and Chris Goreham has more understanding of the game. Head of player acquisition (not a superfluous and token job, surely?) and what a fat lot of good that did. Has had more jobs at this club than Cureton''s missed an open goal and they''re never promotions in the same field.Gunn has a long history with this club; so do over a thousand other former players and Captain Canary.

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted May 6, 2009 I posted this on another thread earlier but I think it deserves another airing... I do agree that the abuse a minority have given him is unwarranted.However, by the same token, people should not allow the emotionalaspect (i.e. club legend and all that) to cloud their judgement. Plentyof people have indeed given their reasoning as to why Gunn is a poormanager, indeed I have myself but I will go through it all again anywaywhile I''m here. The most immediately obvious thing is the points-per-game ratio,barely any better than Roeder''s. A lot was made while we were on ahalf-decent run in March that spread over the entire season his pointsratio would have us in mid-table. A lot less is made of the fact thatnow, after almost half a season in charge, spread over the season wewould have ended up with 48 points, just two more than we actually got,and would have gone down anyway. If Roeder was sacked after fivedefeats in six league games, then Gunn should not be kept on forexactly the same run of form.Also I think the ''team in freefall'' argument doesn''t stand up,either. For all of Roeder''s faults, we should remember he took over ateam that was stranded at the foot of the table after gaining justeight points from the first 13 matches. Indeed after his first threegames we only had one more point to show for it. From that position, 11without a win, confidence shot to bits and an atrocious squad ofplayers, he got a few players in on loan (making just one permanentsigning) and by the end of February we were 12th. Granted, it fellapart after that - but we still survived, something that lookedimpossible after that infamous defeat at Plymouth. Contrast that withGunn taking charge with us outside the bottom three and winning hisfirst game 4-0, but still getting us relegated by five points. He alsoworked under the same restrictions Roeder had, almost entirely workingwith loans even in the transfer window, but still didn''t succeed.I don''t necessarily believe the players had more respect and werewilling to work for him. Sure, to start with that was probably the case- after witnessing Roeder''s total lack of PR and man-management skillsit was probably a refreshing change for them. But performances andresults were uncannily similar to the ones Roeder''s team produced - theodd excellent result (Wolves and Birmingham away, Cardiff at home) morethan cancelled out by the spineless, clueless displays(Southampton (arguably the most damaging result), Coventry andSheffield Wednesday at home, Blackpool and Charlton away) in which theteams and tactics Gunn chose were questionable at best, and werecompounded by his apparent inability to use substitutions to hisadvantage, all the while doing his best impression of a rabbit inheadlights - that is when he wasn''t having a go at referees (althoughin fairness he was justified on several occasions - not that it shouldmask the incompetence of the performances). If Plan A worked, thengreat - but it often didn''t, and he was often out-thought by theopposition manager, with no Plan B in sight. And during the last month or so, it''s been painfully obvious thatthe can''t motivate the team; summed up by being 3-0 down afterhalf-an-hour at bottom club Charlton. Yes, the players have to takesome responsibility for that, but being able to motivate and earn therespect of your players is a big part of being a manager and standingat The Valley at 1.50pm on Sunday, I saw firm evidence that he hasn''tbeen able to do that.Yes, the blame for our decline must go higher than Gunn, or indeedany of the managers. The board (freely admitting that they offered himthe post on the back of that second half against Barnsley, where we wondespite playing Russell and Cureton up front) should never even haveconsidered him for manager. But he accepted the job, knew what thatentailed, worked with his hands tied like every manager sinceWorthington won us promotion, and as Gunn has acknowledged himself, hefailed. Therefore he has to take some responsibility, as he was the manin charge when we suffered our first relegation from the second tiersince 1939. Even as we celebrated a big win on January 17th, our fatewas sealed. Appointing a ''proper'' manager may have saved us from thatfate. Things would still have to change at the top, but we could do itstill as a Championship club. Now we are a League One team and it isvital we pick someone who can do a job at this level, but is hungry tomove forward, has ambition and has shown he has real potential. NorwichCity surely an attractive prospect to this type of manager, and thoughwe need a fresh start at board level, the right managerial appointmentwill also help no end.
