Captain Holt 518 Posted August 17, 2009 Let down again then.Just when are we going to have a manager that is a ''name'' within the football world?Do they expect us to be excited at the prospect of Nigel Adkins or Mark Robins leading us?Oh dear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romantic 0 Posted August 17, 2009 I''d be alright with either of those. The main regret is the white elephant that was the Gunn appointment. If we''d brought either in when Roeder was shunted I think most would have accepted it within reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary02 III 0 Posted August 17, 2009 I''d be delighted with Adkins or Robins. Neither is a big name but both have produced successful lower league teams. We need a manager who can produce points at this level, and both have proved this. Better than a "big" name who flatters to deceive and has an ego to go with the name but no success behind him.

Kissthebadge 0 Posted August 17, 2009 There may have been an outside chance of one of those big names coming if we had still been in the championship. But effectively we''re at least 2 years from the premiership and realistically more. Would any of those guys want to wait that long? They have nothing to prove.

shefcanary 2,377 Posted August 17, 2009 [quote user="Downloads"]I guess thats all that is in our pay bracket.Feeling slightly depressed now.[/quote]But surely poaching a manager from another club is going to be more expensive than plucking someone from the dole queue? surely this is real ambition to go head hunting rather than acepting any dodgy CV that flies across the table?

E I E I E I O 0 Posted August 17, 2009 What if it is Darren Ferguson. There was a big mention of punching above weight.I believe that we could be surprised though as I am sure he said some people cant handle managing big clubs. Now this would point to a man that has managed a club of our size before at least.I hope to be pleasantly surprised and I like the mans attitude. None of this little old Norwich mentality!

Mr. Bump 0 Posted August 17, 2009 I was disappointed when I found out that the person was employed, ruled out most of my tagrets.Now I''m really hoping it''s Darren Ferguson but I would be content with Nigel Adkins too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raunds canary 214 Posted August 17, 2009 what about a mr D Moyes . He`s got a good defensive record this season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted August 17, 2009 Adkins or Robins would be excellent choices. They''ve learned their trade at smaller clubs, as it should be, now it''s time to step up and get us back on track!Bigger names also cost more. These two guys have shown they know how to do it, bring them in. Especially Robins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
