McNally: No Respect

Recommended Posts

I know we''re very much moving on and lets hope the week ahead is the start of something special at Carrow Road.

One thing that''s been on my mind is the manner in which Gunn was dismissed. Not the when, but the how.

The guy has been involved with the club for many years, is a legend and I think deserved better. However we rate him as a manager (I think most of us don''t) most of us would rate him him as a legend.

I know McNally has a big ego and clearly wanted to make his mark, but why on earth didn''t McNally approach Gunn and give Gunn the option to step aside gracefully publicly declaring that he felt the club needed an experienced manager (much like Ricky Sbragia @ Sunderland).

Maybe he did/maybe he didn''t? or maybe Gunn was given the option but declined (I doubt it)? but I for one would have rather seen Gunn at a press conference step aside for the good of the club and preserve his legendary status....

Does anyone know if this was considered as an option?

When the dust settles I''d welcome Gunn back to Carrow Road as a fan any day.

I imagine something more severe has happened behind the scenes, talks of changing room bust-ups, the team staying away from home midweek, not talking to media etc.

Somethings not quite right, and they''re trying to keep it out of the spotlight.

Watch this space is all i can think right now, not that we''ll be told anything of course! :/

TBH it''s about time we had someone who told it like it is.

Gunn was blatantly not up to the job as manager. At least he has seen fit to sort it now rather than in 15 games time when it might have been too late!

These against McNally posts are really starting to get on my wick now.

Nobody was happy with Doncaster and his all talk no action, we now have a no nonsense businessman making decisions and your still not happy its ridiculous.

We finally get a CEO with some balls and still people whine and whinge. If Gunny liked his legend(an overused word)status then he should never have taken the managers job,he knew it would end in tears.

Yes I feel this also.There is no logic to the timing so it must have been gross indicipline/loosing the squad or somthing along those lines.You do not get of people at such times even sunday would have been a better time.

This club isn''t a flippin'' The WI.  It was about time someone appeared with some backbone and said it like it was, without any sentiment.  Ironically appointed by Delia

There''s no sentiment in buisness........as I expect Delia to find out later this year.[;)]

Sorry Rocky but this time I''m doing to have to disagree with your sentiment. Bryan had 19 games to sort it out last season and failed miserably. He insisted upon trying to right a wrong and wanted to stay on as manager, this despite the fact that the world and his dog thinking he wasn''t up to the job. Therefore, being a football legend isn''t enough, sometimes you have to realise you''re not up to the job you''re trying to do.

Personally, I think this isn''t just about McNally, it''s also the Alan Bowkett and Stephan Phillips influence coming though and if anyone really doubts that, just ask yourself, "do you think Gunny would still be manager if it was just down to Delia and the two Michaels on the Board?" My guess, in most cases, people would be answering "yes" to that question.

And maybe the club should have never agreed to it, just the other side to the coin.
