Row D Seat 7 0 Posted September 11, 2009 The reason Gunn was made manager is because he was mates with Delia, Michael, Roger and Neil Doncaster. It was all a friend thing. They got too close. It took someone like McNally to mix things up and start to move us in the correct direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What''s most important is the good of this club. However, my anger over Gunn''s treatment was rekindled by what I read on the Pink Un today. I didn''t attend the meeting last night because I live 250 miles away so obviously not possible. All I would add is that often in life I''m asked a straight question and I know that a straight answer will cause unnecessary hurt so I try and answer with some care and tact. Gunn was a longtime and very loyal servant of this club. He continues to be held in great affection by very many fans despite the minority on here who have been at time unbelievably unpleasant about him. Given this, I believe that McNally could have responded to the straight question with more care and sensitivity than he did. It is time to move on and IMO McNally''s apparently lengthy explanation of the reasons for Gunn''s sacking has only served to re-open unhealed wounds. Finally, if it is the case that Gunn was obliged to sign a confidentiality clause preventing him from ever speaking about the severance then I think it reflects very poorly on the club that they allowed one of their officials to criticize Gunn so comprehensively and publicly. If it is true that Gunn''s hands have been tied then frankly it''s not very honourable to give him a "kicking". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only concern is that it is one thing the club being open and transparent but, from what i read, McNally was asked a question and when he replied he didn''t stop talking. The phrase "too much information" comes to mind. Gunn is a legend and my opinion is that it would have been wise and sensible for any club official, especially one who is new to the club, to take cognizance of that fact.

Camuldonum 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Leaving aside the emotions for a moment Norwich have not yet handed over any money to BG so whether it comes with a confidentiality clause is probably yet to be decided. If he''s got any sense the negotiations are being conducted by a lawyer. One small point. Mr McNally''s statement that you are working to resolve the compensation dispute came as a complete shock to Colchester''s owner who says on the record in public that since your first unacceptable offer Colchester have heard nothing at all - hence issue of formal seven day notice letter from solicitor which he wouldn''t have known about.The unanswered question centres on exactly when McNally''s tipping point occurred because he would have been central to arranging the purchase of Gunn''s players contracted after he came in..............[:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that I was backed throughout the summer in terms of thesignings that we made - some quality signings as well who will do wellfor the football club - leaves a little bitter taste in the mouth.”Ifhe had wanted the club to remain silent then he should himself havestayed silent rather than going on Sky Sports to attack thedecision to sack him.

Dronny Canary 0 Posted September 12, 2009 [quote user="ron obvious"][quote user="Mello Yello"]I think it was all down to the cheap, easy and he''s our chum, so let''s re-install our Bryan Gunn - by the then ''Incompetent board of Directionless''. The two main players keen for Gunn to manage - being our major-shareholders.....Mr Foulger?....Partisan to the Duo''s decision, and probably happy to go with the flow. Donny was doomed, Roger was rebuffed.....The new appointed members to the board were aghast by the sham of the charlatans'' running the show.....Out comes the hatchet which should have been sharpened in April and used in May....But, oh no! Once again, our Delia (from her words) and her hubby (including nephew Tom) sat down by the river after our confirmed relegation - and contemplated our future.....Mr Mac and Co... thought otherwise.Chop! Chop!WE were an absolute joke.....a footballing ''farce''.....Hopefully, we''re now going to be a footballing ''force''.....But, only if those remaining, who were totally out of their depth and whom made us a farce.....accept the decisions of our latest board-members. [/quote]Only thing is, who removed Doncaster & Munby & appointed McNally et al? Do they receive any credit for this?Just asking.[/quote]Eventually they seem to have seen the light! I''m more than happy to give them credit for this even though most on here probably won''t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
