city-till-i-die 7 Posted January 31, 2010 Mike Walker...for obvious reasons..promotion but for the mega football we played...it was breathtaking at times [:D]Paul Lambert...lets hope he stays with NCFC for some time as imho with the backing of the board i feel he can take us all the way back to the prem.Glen Roeder...for being great in the transfer market and a wonderful tactition[:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 8,034 Posted January 31, 2010 Bondy was my favourite, he was a real character and he picked up some really good bargains for us (Martin Peters, Jimmy Neighbour etc). For achievement it has to be Mike Walker although the basis of a good side was left to him by Dave Stringer.Going way way back I also nominate Archie Macauly for the way he put this club back on the map after we nearly went out of business.

If I''m honest, I cant really remember too much, but both were pretty poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Chimp 0 Posted January 31, 2010 In my lifetime (since 1984):1) Mike Walker2) O''Neill3) Worthington/Lambert. Can''t seperate them right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One took us to a playoff final and then won the 2nd division championship, only getting relegated on the last day of the Premiership season. The other one has taken us to the top of the 3rd division.

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted January 31, 2010 Bondy was my favourite manager too Rickyyyy.Stringers team which Walker motivated to those great heights in the early 90''s was, I believe, heavily influenced by David Williams. Williams wasn''t a manager so I guess I can''t include him. If I could he''d be number one for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted January 31, 2010 In chronological order:SaundersBond Walker Worthy gets an honourable mention, but O''Neill wasn''t here long enough to figure in my top three. Lambert has the potential to be great, but I suspect that his real glory days will be elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 457 Posted January 31, 2010 Well, for me the top manager has to be Ron Saunders, untill then we had been an average team, continually doing nothing. Since then our outlook has always be up.Look up your history of Norwich City ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we follow your criteria we may as well disqualify O''Neill completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willmeister 35 Posted January 31, 2010 1. Walker2.
