Has just got of a flight from Manchester.....apparently ?

[TCCANARY 263]

 

Yeh, he''s coming round mine for his tea. Mum says I''ve got to call him Uncle Mike. 

 

Then we''re gonna have a game of Footie Manager, I keep beating him, he thinks he''s letting me win but I know I''m far superior to him.

Norwich Airport website shows arrival from Luton at 15:16. Flight "SXN" which if I remember correctly is what the club have used before on transfer deadline day etc?

In New York

Highly doubt they''d rush an assistant manager/coach down the day the international break starts 🙈

[NWC 315]

"SXN" will probably be Saxon which is a private air travel company operating out of Norwich Airport I think.

Yeah and just joined the mile high club with the pilot he''s just announced it on his Twitter page.

Flight from Luton to Norwich????

Lazy!!!!

[Dave 0]

Seriously though he would be a good choice head coach

[Barry Brockes 157]

Agreed - but would he be prepared to work for a complete novice having worked for, arguably, the greatest club manager there''s ever been at one of the top clubs in the world?

I think the answer to if he''d work with Adams is no, imo he''d only come if he was going to be manager

[Dave 0]

Although he''s been out of a proper job for pushing 18 months and he has never managed a side full time, could be a stepping stone.

Hi all newbie here

Why do people believe he will be a good head coach / manager? He''s never managed before if he was that good surely fergie would''ve recommended him for the utd job. Is it just because he worked for United and played for us

[mrs miggins 0]

Yes

[nutty nigel 7,902]

It does seem that Phelan and Culverhouse are the acceptable face of Little Old Norwich at the moment.

 

Another thing in Phelan''s favour (or not) is that he''s a bloody nice bloke! As those old enough to remember his time here will verify.[;)]

 

 

 

 

[damn that Ralph Coates! 74]

please McNally get someone like this, with experience of winning big things, as next coach.

(He was also a really good servant of the club and I rated him as a very hard working midfielder here during his time.)

[Syteanric 1]

why would someone who has won things at one of the biggest clubs in the world, with some of the best players and possibly the greatest manager to have ever worked in the game come here?

oh yeah.. he played for us once...

[Syteanric 1]

I can imagine it would go something like this:

 

*phone Rings*

Phelan "Hello?"

Davey Mac "Hello Mike, Its David McNally!"

Phelan "who?"

Mac "David mcNally, Norwich City?"

Phelan "yeh.. i think I remember... "

Mac "Right, basically we would like you to be our new coach.."

Phelan "Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahha" *click*

Davey Mac "Hello.... Hello? Mike?"

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Well he''s arriving today. I''d imagine he''ll be replacing Adams soon too if we don''t pick up form.

[splutcho 196]

Ha Jas, if this is true, you may look a little silly ;)

Jas = clueless.

It has been confirmed. What say you Jas?

[Kingston Yellow 259]

Confirmed.

Jas the Clueless King.

Nice

Good decision all round.

Awaiting the negative comments from the usual suspects.

[Grant Holts Moustache 113]

That''s a result. Am very surprised to be honest but all that experience he can bring to the management team gives me a little more confidence that we can turn this round.

[kirku 1,358]

I can imagine it went something like this:

*phone Rings*

Phelan "Hello?"

Davey Mac "Hello Mike, Its David McNally!"

Phelan "who?"

Mac "David mcNally, Norwich City?"

Phelan "Oh, yes. Hello, David."

Mac "Right, basically we would like you to be our new coach.."

Phelan "That''d be a fantastic opportunity for me to get back into football, thanks very much! I''ll be down to see you shortly"

Davey Mac "Wonderful, see you soon."

David mutters to himself, "This is sure to make some people on the internet look like right bell-ends"

[city-till-i-die 7]

GET IN

Great news for the club.

Got a sneaky feeling he will be No 1 soon

[TCCANARY 263]

 

One of the really funny chants, Mike going bald prompted the crowd to use the Righteous Brothers song and change it to

 

"You''ve lost your hairline Phelan".

Excellent news.Just bring some balloons to wake Adams up in making a sub.
