Hannibal 0 Posted June 2, 2010 Forster - LambertDrury - WorthingtonDoc - WorthingtonNelson - GunnMartin - LambertRusty - GrantLappin - GrantSmith - YouthWes - RoederMartin - YouthHolt - GunnSo out of the 11 players who played the most games only 2 was signed by Gunn. so not an arguement for me.

Barclaybred 0 Posted June 2, 2010 Lol no i was making a point that when a deal expires,it doesnt mean a player has to then come home to his parent club....there wouldve been countless other teams in league 2 i presume,that wouldve wanted them..When they finished that season and we were down,there were many on here saying the only reason martin and spillane have done well is they have found their level! ..So glad we found out this wasnt true,and if it was gunns choice to get them home for our campaign,then that is one thing he can take credit for..

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted June 2, 2010 It was also Gunny''s choice to cut short Curo''s loan the previous season. If he''d left well alone, and Jamie Lad had carried on missing the barn door at Barnsley, we may have been consolidating in the Champs instead[:S][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclaybred 0 Posted June 2, 2010 True,in a hindsight sort of way...But again there were many on here saying why the hell is he being allowed to score goals for a rival championship side fighting for survival ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted June 2, 2010 That''s because once a manager is out of favour every decision he then makes is deemed a poor one on this messageboard. Grant, Roeder and Gunn all got some things right and Lambert will get some things wrong. However Grant, Roeder and Gunn appeared made more mistakes than our rivals and Lambert less.

Mr Lister 0 Posted June 2, 2010 "The Chirp" I spoke to this so called terrible man a couple of weeks ago and I cantell you that Gunn was not hoping for League One consolidation. This might be a shock to some of you but just because McNally says it in the press it doesn''t mean he''s telling the truth. It might have been his opinion that Gunn was leading Norwich no further than L1 consolidation but that was NEVER Gunn''s aim.Re £££ I would say spending £500K on a striker who scored 30 goals this season was not blowing your money. Brighton plus one other offered Holt more money to join them - It wasGunn who took the time to make sure Holt signed for us not elsewhere.It didn''t work out for Gunn as a manager which is very disappointing to him and most of us (I say most as there are some pathetic people on here who are well out of line about Gunn and Delia) but he''s a genuine honest guy who has served Norwich and Norfolk as a whole very well. Well Chirp,Shortly after we were relegated I had his esteemed assistant in my establishment. After asking him what went wrong on the last day of the season he said we had too many loan players being paid silly wages and didn''t give sh*** about playing for City. I then asked him where we were going as far as next season is concerned. Now I heard this from the horses mouth, ''We will consolidate this season with maybe an outside chance of reaching the play-offs'' but he doubted it. Consolidation was definately the best he was hoping for,so, NO McNally was not telling fibs!I agree Gunn and his Assistant are really nice blokes but that was not going to get us promoted, IMO he was too close to the players as in being a ''mate'' of theirs not a manager!
