Mazy Run 0 Posted August 18, 2009 [quote user="Yellow Shrimper"]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. [/quote]Remind me Shrimper - what was the logic behind appointing Peter Grant?

OTBC 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Not sure what people were expecting, never in a million years were we going to get someone of the likes of Coppel. Given our situation, this is the best appointment we could hope for. He''s young, had a distinguished playing career at the top level and has made a good start in management. We have a decent team at Norwich but from what I''ve seen and read this season, hasn''t played to it''s potential. Don''t expect 7-1 wins but I think we''ll find our best 11 and a playing style sooner than had we stuck with Gunn/Butterworth. Will be interesting to see who remains and who joins from the back room staff, personally, I would like to see Butterworth gone and Crook remain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Peter Grant was a well regarded coach/No. 2 at West Ham (apologies if I''ve not got his exact position correct), had been highly thought of at Bournemouth, and appeared to have all the promise to be a successful manager. He went through a proper selection process and was chosen above all other candidates. From what I heard of that selection process I believe I would have chosen him myself. On the other hand, as it appears to me, Paul Lambert, who already has an unconvincing managerial record, was chosen not through a rigorous selection process but was ''head-hunted'' by one man, with an apparently big ego, who managed to persuade others to follow him.

gsr600 0 Posted August 18, 2009 im actually quite happy about this appointment, hes experienced at this level with management, can work on a budget, and is young, hope he brings culverhouse and holt with him wouldnt mind that back room staff, hopefully keep crook to, he seems to know the youth here,however i ave one niggling problem at this signing.i dont think he was our first choice, and sounds like he was appointed just because of the 7 - 1 win, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The idea that simply because an interview process has been set up the best candidate will emerge is specious in the extreme. And, while we''re at it, if you think Grant ''appeared'' to have all the promise, then Lambert ''appears'' to be already demonstrating a return on that promise, with a win ratio of upwards of 40%.Nobody can say whether Lambert is the the right man for the job at this point, but all this effing whingeing from some of our so-called fans at every single decision the club makes is starting to make us look a pretty unappetising bunch from the outside. In fact, do you know what some of us sound like? Like Leeds fans, and insults don''t come much greater. Let''s get accustomed to the situation we find ourselves in and then get fully behind a new young manager with promise and determination in bucketloads and see if we can''t turn this pig''s ear into a purse.

Lewie - Holt Our Saviour 0 Posted August 18, 2009 His win % at colchester is 44% so he must be half descent and worth a go...40% at wycombe.I think he''s a good choice, onwards and upwards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Carter 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Totally agree Scooby, just a mediocre manager whose best achievement is a semi final, otherwise mid table obsucrity in the lower leagues.
