I honestly thought McNally knew what he was doing, But now....

[Thecanaryfan 0]

He has quickly developed into a corrupt embarrassment; most likely down to drinking too much of the Red stuff with Delia.

We are F''d in the A under Adams. All that money and such pitiful desire from the board. I diagnose tight ass syndrome, yet again.

I. for one have totally given up on them. With so many better manager options at easy dispense this appointment is sad beyond belief. I actually had a bad dream about this happening, and woke up and thought thank F££K it didn''t happen. But now it has. And now I will live that nightmare for a year. Or shorter I hope.

McNally made this choice, so the obvious future failure lands on him. 5 months from he will hear chants for your head.

Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid, bloody moron.

McNally made no choice, just watch the press conference does he look happy they have one with Adams because I don''t

[Thecanaryfan 0]

Repeat yourself Barclay_boy111. Be clear and precise!

[Phil Boyers Admiral top 0]

Of course he made the choice. He is in charge. He takes the plaudits when things go well and hides when things are going badly (as he did for most if Kat season). He''s a politician (but not as good as he thinks) and he hides behind this image of being a puppet just in case the decision doesn''t work out. He treats us like mugs.

You can add him to the "Total knobhead" list as well if you like

What a complete fu£king disgrace that post is.

I''m not even going to say go and support another club "Thecanaryfan" (what a joke) I''m going to say go and support a different SPORT.

McNally may have suggested the appointment of Aadams, but it was a unanimous decision by the Board. As CEO he is answerable to the Board, ultimately even for day-to-day decisions.

There may be better management options about. Are you suggesting that both men in the press conference were laying when they said that they had looked? The problem is that not many of the better managers want to come to a newly relegated side in the Championship- Lennon has cut himself adrift from Celtic and seemingly has no prospect in mind, yet did not fancy Norwich! There may be better around, but they are managing successful clubs with prospects of honours to be won, and we would have to engage in expesnive battles with their clubs.

We don''t know which applicants reached the short-list, and we may never know. We do know that one or two favoured by posters on this board, e.g. Zola, have been sacked at least once. Most of the unemployed managers have failed at least once - Lennon is the exception.

I don''t know what will happen next season, but it will not make the job of Adams and his assistants any easier if we constantly bitch about the club or seize on any slight reason to criticise in intemperate language.

Neil''s the ideal candidate for the hierarchy that rule the roost.......as he''s a genuinely nice bloke - who won''t rock the board, and in turn, the boat that is the good ship ''Carra''.....A Peter Grant type.....or not dissimilar.....and Grant had the integrity to fall on his sword when he knew he was out of his depth......

 

 

I personally felt that the given solo interview pitch side on the local news last night by our Chief Exec when questioned by the interviewer regarding Neil''s appointment - in my opinion, when answering, he just didn''t come across as the confident, composed and air of authority chap - that he usually portrays when interviewed.....

 

I really want Neil to do well and prove to those that doubt his credentials and ability to succeed to lead us into battle and to ultimately achieve the task, which is our rapid return to the top-flight......It''s going to be difficult and an awesome and frustrating challenge. I wonder if the ''War Chest'' entrusted and offered to Neil, to hit that extremely difficult target - will be substantive enough to achieve that challenge.....?

So much so it got him sacked.Our hierarchy got it right. Despite McNally''s previous doubts about Mackay they went for him - the best candidate out of a not very promising field. But if the best candidate makes it plain we are not his first choice then we have to start looking at those below our first choice, all of whom have question-marks against them. Would you have had them pick Zola, with his record of failure, just because he had no connection with the club? Ditto Lennon, with no relevant managerial experience?

[Phil Boyers Admiral top 0]

I agree with the sentiment but at what point do you think we should moan about bad decisions or lack of action at all? We are living this mess because we don''t complain enough in my opinion?

The simple matter is that In January when the supporters could see that CH was going backwards we could have appointed a decent Manager (poyet for instance) and stayed up. But we didn''t because Hughton was a "nice guy" and a pal of the board. Now we could be in the Championship for some time.

But, Adams is in and I hope he does well. But if he doesn''t I reserve the right to have a go at the people in charge again.

Malky probably turned up, invited and to see what was on offer, bearing in mind Malky had and spent much more than quite a healthy budget at Cardiff.

I in my opinion, think Neil''s demands were wholly acceptable to the board - and of which in my opinion were probably discussed and known, then put forward when he was given the position of (did they ever state) interim manager?......

1.What is wrong with doubting the club''s or your version of events regarding the interview process released by the club for the prospective appointment of a new manager? It''s not a conspiracy theory on my behalf, it''s just what I feel may have occurred because the club even before D & MWJ came on board, have regularly promoted from within. There''s not many football clubs in any professional leagues will do that on a regular basis. Will Neil court a large salary as manager? Will he be given a bigger spending budget than if Malky was in charge? The youngsters will be played in the squad, they certainly won''t be pulling up at Colney in Bentleys, or Audi''s or Big BMW''s and being paid big wonga.....Cheap as chips, that''ll bring the wage bill down....These are just unsubstantiated observations and some hypothetical questions I ask coupled with my opinions.....I personally, just feel/think that the board are being slightly economical with the truth regarding Neil''s appointment.....But, it''s only my personal opinion.....

2.Look at the ratio/percentage and do the maths regarding the amount of my posts and the date I joined......in relation to the amount of posts that that you have since you joined the forum. Incidentally, I actually joined the forum sometime in 2003, the initial date disappeared like many pioneer''s of the pink ''un - but I fortunately retained my post count.....Although this in an exception, I also generally and being just a humble, a ickle bit loony and lacking any form of intellect football fan, I only give short posts, where as yours for some reason, tend to be somewhat longer......

3. I am not a great fan of Delia and MWJ as controlling majority shareholders of the club and I certainly won''t deny it, I feel that they''re holding the club back, although as individuals away from the business that is NCFC they''re probably decent folk. I''m also a great admirer of Stephen Fry and his work and have had the good fortune to meet him and have a chat with him, but I feel he doesn''t really bring anything of real substance to the club, that also includes the ex Archant chap who''s on the board. Micky Foulger is a top guy and Bowkett and McNally have been a breath of fresh air, but I just feel a bit of halitosis is beginning to creep in.....

3. I mentioned as you put it ''a boast'' that I renewed on the first deadline for next season. It''s just to allay fears that I may be called a binner or a plastic.....that would certainly hurt my pride as I''m a sensitive soul.....and I did it all by myself even before we knew which league we''d be in....Although.....I was quite nervous and my mum was waiting outside in the car.... 

I just post what I feel on this forum, nobody really takes any notice of my inane ramblings.....I don''t pursue hero worship like some with gargantuan post counts who patrol like sentinels up and down the pink un forum brow-beating anyone and discrediting their credentials as a supporter if it doesn''t suit their agenda (or opinion)....Maybe I may be speaking some truth.....Then again, maybe, I just do it to be mischievous and ruffle a few feathers....and get a reaction....But, then again, I don''t really care.....It''s only a Football Forum...."TOOT TOOT!"

Nobody takes any notice of me Purple......It''s people like you and the Nelsonettes that they hold in high esteem....

In short you''re an impish gadfly and I''m a long-winded bore. There, at least, I think you have got it spot on. And let''s not confuse the Nelsonettes with the Ronettes...
