I am a Banana 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Looking at how the villa fans are taking to the appointment of Alex Mcleish, have you ever not wanted the new manager before he has done anything? Or will you always give a manager time? I think when Roeder came in I wasn''t all that excited and didn''t really want him to come in, but I never staged a protest etc. Has anything like that ever happened in the Norwich History?

Jack Barak 46 Posted June 16, 2011 I remember some less than complimentary comments when PL got the job, also when Worthy was appointed (he looked like BH''s disciple) so I think we have had a few surprises...so long as they don''t appoint Keane I will be okay.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted June 16, 2011 I think McLeish will piss them off more before the season starts.Ashley Young will be on his way, and McLeish is such a bland manager who assembles dull sides in unadventurous systems, so he will replace him with some uninspired, boring signings.

Jack Barak 46 Posted June 16, 2011 McLeish is such a strange appointment, very negative and not a guy you would want to build a club. I am really glad they didn''t move for Lambert but I find it hard to see why they would go for McLeish rather than someone like him. I would have thought a Billy Davis would have been better than McLeish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted June 16, 2011 I don''t know about Billy, but Steve ''Interesting'' Davis would have more about him than McLeish. I''d be mortified if we ever got a manager like Big ''Eck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devils Advocate. 0 Posted June 17, 2011 I thought that the Villa fans were more angry because he is the ex Birmingham boss. Would you accept an ex Ipswich manager ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted June 17, 2011 I literally have no idea why Villa would ever choose to appoint Mcleish. In fact he seems the worst possible appointment for Villa, and it seems the worst possible move for Mcleish? Once again, the managerial merry go round confuses me thoroughly.How terrible would it be if over the years George Burley, Roy Keane or now Paul Jewell came into replace the respective Norwich managers?

Petriix 2,834 Posted June 17, 2011 I think that Villa were just working throught the alphabet - after ruling out McClaren, McLeish was next on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
