St.John Cooper 0 Posted August 18, 2009 A good choice...for those moaners who were you expecting....Jose!We are now a divsion 3 side you can not expect a top flight manager with years of experience, lets get behing him the team and get playing good football at the right end of the table. After all he did just mastermind a 7-1 victory at Carrow RdOTBC St.John Ps check out the UAE supporers facebook page onhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/UAE-CANARIES/107169127093?ref=nf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest you look at a managers achievements in relation to the stature of the sides he takes over other than how far they get in a cup competition. Clearly not the most level headed person, feeling the need to post that in such large letter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rudenotto69 0 Posted August 18, 2009 interesting info from Colchester website he had no interview we also sounded desperate!!http://www.cu-fc.com/page/News/0,,10424~1758963,00.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted August 18, 2009 What has he been offered to persuade him? A bigger club, possibly, potential - doubtful?What have we paid Colchester? - he has been there less than a year? So there will be a hefty compensation.Does it mean that there will be some new finance, or is Hooly and everyone else with a transfer price to be on their way?I hope that this one does not go sour.

paul moy 235 Posted August 18, 2009 It looks to me that a good decision has been made. A Champions League winner and managed Livingstone and Wycombe with reasonable success. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Lambert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I agree with you to some extent, but we need to remember where we are and what the likelihood was of us attracting an experienced manager with proven quality. I''ve said on another thread that somehow we - as fans - need to find a way to give the new man time to bed in. We simply cannot afford to have another short term appointment wrecked by the edginess that, quite understandably, has been running through the crowd and fanbase for the last two to three years...

Rob Ullathornes Puma Kings 0 Posted August 18, 2009 [quote user="NCFC_Edward"]Good appointment i think.[/quote]Meh......although I do feel happier than when Gunn was appointed. Now we need to be patient and give him time to get to grips with our team/club and hopefully bring us some success on the pitch...it might not be instant but I''m prepared to wait.

cambscanary 0 Posted August 18, 2009 I''m happy, he has a lot of playing experience having played at a good level in europe as well as this country. He seems to have done a decent job with limited funds at Colchester. His team looked pretty good whent hey stuffed us too. He also has no Norwich connections which i''m quite happy about too.All in all, i''m not disapointed. Hopefully he''ll bring Clive Platt with him, he was immense against us, a unit who held the ball up very well...............Lets get behind him and push on, i think he''ll command respect from the players and i think his reputation will mean he''ll get that respect.Cambs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Shrimper 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Mr McNally''s got his man. Poor Delia & Michael know they''re out of their depth. They''ve put their trust in David McNally and he''s imposed his will to bring in a former colleague who, in managerial terms, has achieved nothing. I could see the logic in employing Messrs Worthington, Grant, Roeder & Gunn. I can''t see the logic in this one. It seems to me Mr McNally is on a major ego trip and I fear his appointment, and that of Paul Lambert, will prove to be dark days for Norwich City. Let''s hope that I, the normally eternal optimist, am proved horribly wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfcstar 287 Posted August 18, 2009 I still can''t work this out, I am not going to say I am disappointed, because Lambert is clearly a far more experienced and successful manager than Bryan Gunn. He is also a Champions League winner. Whether this is the right decision I am not sure, and I do think the 7-1 result has influenced this decision.I am going to support him 100%, and hope he does a good job.
