It was the catalyst, albeit too late to make any difference, to Hughton's demise. Just a shame those in the corridors of power can't / won't see the need for change until the peasants are revolting. :grin:

Not so sure about ´demise´ - I´d say he´s flourishing nicely at the moment <ok>

and perhaps those in the corridors of power are content with what they have ;)
 
Moxey - low key and showing little ambition. Now I see why he's a perfect fit for NCFC.

This relates to the unrest shown by fans over the ever decreasing style of football Hughton brought to this club, not the current variant [of the same thing :( ]
Ironically he (CH) did a great job at Brum, Newcastle and has continued in the same vein at Brighton.
Why always us? :emoticon-0106-cryin <wah>

Agreed he does sound rather wishy-washy when compared to McNally, but surely it´s rather too soon to be making any sort of judgement - let´s at least give him two or three transfer windows before we wield the axe.

I don't suppose we have much choice RBF.
I've met McNally several times at Chamber of Commerce events and such, and was always impressed by him. They do seem to be polar opposites. I know who I'd prefer fighting my corner on what I've witnessed so far.

gandy - I too felt we were in good hands with McNally, but I guess it was fairly predictable that we would go for a completely different type, once we broke with him.

Therefore, Mr. Moxey.

I think Ian Clarke's article in favour of replacing AN sooner rather than later sums things up pretty well - http://www.edp24.co.uk/features/i_m..._to_change_the_norwich_city_manager_1_4772788
Hard to disagree with any of that. Plus it's calm, considered and points out all the pretty overwhelming evidence as to why the club are flogging a dead horse.
To replace him now would not be a knee-jerk reaction, but a chance to salvage the remainder of our season which is disappearing round the u-bend on a game-by-game basis under AN's "leadership".

Yes, just one more in a whole row of similar articles where the one common denominator and suggested solution is, sacking the manager. But just how often has that actually worked in our recent history, and we could say that we really moved on, I can only think of one instance, and that was when Lambert took over from Gunn, and with the greatest respect, ANYONE taking over from Gunn would be an improvement.

The media and the fans only have this one stock ´solution´ every time we hit a slight bump or two, and I dare say it´s quite likely they will get their way, but I´m certainly not holdíng my breath, with respect to it actually improving anything. QPR are a prime example, apparently they´ve now had SIX changes of manager since Alex Neil took over here, and have, in the words of the inimitable Cpt. Blackadder, moved about as far as an ant with some heavy shopping.

But to sit back and do nothing, while watching the last vestiges of team spirit ebb away as the club sinks further into the morass is not a preferred option of the majority, either. And those would seem to be the two available options, 1) change things and try and salvage this season, or 2) become championship perennials, or ITFC Mk2 <yikes>

Or one could try a Burnley just for once, they stuck with Sean Dyche, despite, after promotion, coming straight back down again, floundering last season before getting promoted again. :)
