Legend Iwan 30 Posted September 11, 2009 To me is seems you''re looking for something from nothing.He is never going to be here all his life and being that he has been at both Celtic and Fulham he clearly has ability so if he moves on it will likely mean he has done something right and Norwich have achieved something. But without asking him directly - are you using us as a stepping stone or are you going to stay for lif? No one on here will be able to prove you wrong.

Mister Chops 7 Posted September 12, 2009 All this "great football club" stuff makes me feel a bit queasy, he''s only been here five minutes and it''s clearly just platitudes. Other than that I think McNally is the right man to shake the club up, we''ve been "Nice Little Norwich City" for too long. If it''s a stepping stone, so be it - provided he does the job while he''s here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inch High aka Inchy.. 402 Posted September 12, 2009 If the press are to be believed he was lined up for a job at Arsenal but came here instead, are we a stepping stone to Arsenal? I think not.He is a journeyman CEO so I would expect him to move on when he''s happy he''s done what he was employed to do(or cocked it up),so it will be no shock when he does.

I''m not into the Lambert v Boothroyd school because neither of us have the slightest idea how either of them will get on. Lambert did a decent job when he came in but I do have very serious reservations about his "man management skills", some of which are only just coming to light our end. Of course none of this matters if we get promoted does it? Most of you thought Roeder was the most arrogant person you had encountered but had you been 10 points clear at the top of the division you wouldn''t even have noticed, or so I think.Whenever a new man comes in there is always hope and expectation and so it is both at Norwich and Colchester.But I''ve absolutely no idea how either of them are going to get on.
