Herman 9,820 Posted April 9, 2015 [quote user="can u sit down please"]Anyone that weren''t a bit sceptical are lying. But the people laughing at Indy are possibly the ones that had blind faith in the previous two managers. Same crime if you ask me.[/quote]Can''t speak for others but personally it was more a case of support rather than blind faith.Admittedly I supported Hughton for far too long and I hold my hands up for that. Adams I didn''t want,but as he was going to be the manager for the forseeable future I thought it was best to support him.I was worried about Alex because it was such a left-field appointment, and I honestly was really dejected after the Brentford , but I was still prepared to give him as long as possible to turn the team around.People are ''laughing'' at Indy because he didn''t like Alex from the start but hasn''t been back since the miraculous set of results from the team.

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted April 9, 2015 I don''t think anyone can be blamed for having a skeptical approach towards the appointment, no one had heard of the guy! I was torn to shreds at work the day he was appointed..To me at the time, it seemed to be an unnecessary risk as all our players really needed was someone that they would simply respect and trust. I''m sure even the players themselves would''ve had similar feelings and initially; it looked as if the gamble was not going to pay off. It speaks volumes for Alex Neil''s mental strength that he was able to pull us back after the Brentford game.. And not only that; he has completely transformed us from a hot and cold, top heavy force, to to a professional and determined unit that is now within arm''s reach of the title.I have made a mental note to reserve any judgement on future board decisions/appointments and am very grateful that we are in safe hands.

quentin 0 Posted April 9, 2015 We are in a great place right now, but nobody could realistically say we wouldn''t be in this exact same position if Adams and Phelan had remained at the helm. I''m grateful that the latter put us in such a strong position before Alex took the reigns - and I''m certain he is coming from the shi*e that is the Scottish League, it must have been similar to a substantial lottery win taking over a potential Premier League side a point outside the play-offs with over half the season left. Alex is proving to be a good manager, but please let''s not disrespect the love of our club and work that Adams put in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted April 9, 2015 Strange to think that some were questioning Neil''s position so soon into his Norwich career.Personally, I didn''t judge Alex Neil as harshly as some on here because I felt that there were extenuating circumstances behind the performance, such as injuries and coaching disruptions plus the fact he had clearly not been able to get the team playing his ''style'' in such a short period of time.

You are always skeptical about every appointment made by our club. But yet you see good in so many appointments made by our rivals. When it comes to it our club rises above our rivals probably throughout your whole supporting life. Marcus Evans and Roy Keane "real ambition" Delia and Alex Neil "total skepticism".

Paul101 94 Posted April 10, 2015 if we appointed managers based on this board we would have had Rosler/malky makes me smile everytime I think how we dodged that bullet both sacked by the same team in the same season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
