We could have had Jimmy Calderwood as Manager.

He was linked with the job after Roeder was sacked. I know he wouldn''t been everyones choice, but I for one would have loved to see him here.

The job he has done is remarkable and he is now looking for a new challenge.

Exactly. Delia would never sack someone who is as "norwich city" as Gunn.

I feel sorry for him in a way, if next season continues like the last, it won''t be long before his "legend" status is completely eradicated. And even if we have a terrible run of results (which is quite likely) he still won''t be sacked, Delia would such a "yes man".

Since Delia etc gave Worthy perhaps 6 months longer than he should have done, we''ve been ruthless with our managers to be fair. Grant went rather quickly, as did Roeder. If we were to finish in the bottom half at the end of the season, i think he would either leave or be sacked.Plus, isn''t he only on a one year deal? If that''s true, it simply means you two are to quick to immediately damn the board before looking at the facts. I''ll state on this forum once again. I''m against the board - but i will not simply have an unsubstantiated go at them for no reason.

Callum, I would re initiate an old college argument on here but I really can''t be bothered. However, even after 1 year, chances are he''ll still be here, regardless of management skill.

[hogesar 10,773]

What are you referring to? As i''ve always said, i am against the board - they''ve made mistakes all along the way since they first took over - and such things as failing to invest at the start of our premiership season signify that. At the same time, while the board have (maybe) employed someone who will go along generally with what they say, the so called ''yes man'' is hard to judge. Because surely any manager is? Any manager that publically speaks out against his board is probably more often than not going to lose his job. I yet again agree, that Gunn is the right man for the job. I don''t think management skill has anything to do with it, it will simply be based on where we finish. Like i said, if we finish in the bottom half next season i doubt Gunn will be here next season.The board are not afraid to get rid of managers, they shouldn''t be accused of that. They''ve had to get rid of enough.

Same old story .... Sack Gunn or Gunn you should quit.

Where and who do you think would be mad enough to take on this club at the moment? No cash, a very poor squad of players (even for League 1), the few good players we have will almost certainly be gone before the season starts, no proven youth players with any experience of even Reserve team football and a very disgruntled supporter base. What idiot would want to come to this club? Any manager with any proven ability wouldn''t touch us with a barge pole! He would be on a hiding to nothing!

[Graham Humphrey 13]

So you think absolutely no manager - including those who are managing at our level and at League Two - would be at all interested in taking the Norwich job?

[/quote]To a certain extent i agree. Gunn may not be the answer - but who is? Until the club sorts itself out financially and has a solid foundation, most decent managers would probably take a step away from us. At the same time, as the thread starter has mentioned one name, him as well as the likes of Steve Tilson may have been willing to. Who knows...we don''t [:)]

[/quote]  You really think that Gunn is the best this club could attract ? there would be a host of managers wanting the job . If Gunn really is the best manager we can get we may as well turn out the lights now to avoid even more embarrassment.

Perhaps Gunny is not the best the club could attract and I am far from happy with the board, but all the arguements seem to be ''get a proven manager in''. That is the magic word .... proven. What ''proven'' manager would come anywhere near Norwich at the moment and risk a few years work going tits up because he did not produce the goods. As I said ... he would be on a hiding to nothing.

Calderwood WAS the boards choice when Roeder was appointed - he didn''t want to know.
