What a ridiculous comment, someone resigns without warning and you expect a list of replacements to be on the table? Do you think that applies to everyone who works for the club? That would be about 300/400 people just waiting for Norwich City to get them to start tomorrow morning. When someone leaves a position in any business a recruitment, interviewing process takes place, sometime taking weeks or even months!
Christ, ILD, I hope it's not months in our case! Otherwise the summer transfer window will be no more productive than last year's
Look at clubs like Villa, Blackburn etc, they didn't have an immediate replacement for manager, they are going through the process. I agree, I hope it doesn't take too long but they need to make the RIGHT appointment not a knee jerk one.
What a ridiculous comment, someone has been in a position for 7 years as a chief exec and we have no second in command, no one else who is integral or at the very least acquainted to the running of those facets of the business? This is why you should have a chief exec and an exec board. Now I will say hopefully, because afterall this is Norwich we're talking about, there should be someone I.e. the guy they have placed in tempory charge who is at least mostly capably of taking on the role. Then it comes down to two things; whether he would want it full time? or whether the board will give it to him instead of exhaustively searching all of europe for a better candidate. Bah!
That's ridiculous, do you seriously think that everyone at the club has a deputy in waiting, the real world doesn't work that way! There is no guarantee that if there was someone in that position that they would want the job anyway. People live in some sort of fantasy world if they think that every job/person has a ready made replacement. It doesn't matter if he's been with the club 7 years, 7 months or 70 years, if he resigns without warning WHY would people expect there's a ready made person waiting to take over.
In the business world (and that's what the club is - a business) there's usually someone who "deputises" for a CEO while they are absent through holiday or illness - it's usually the Finance Director or COO. That person would make corporate decisions in the absence of a CEO so in the interim I guess that's what will happen with us until the Board can advertise, interview and replace McInally.
That's the first realistic thing I've seen regarding this situation. The last company of a comparable size to NCFC I worked for had Various directors, Finance, Production, Sales etc all reporting to the Ceo. When the Ceo resigned a replacement was brought in from outside the organisation, none of the directors were promoted into that position. It usually works that way.
I heard a rumour that Sunderland are looking for him to replace Margaret Byrne who lost her position over the Adam Johnson court case!
So who could replace him? I don't have the slightest clue about suitable people for the job. I take it you need good business skills and an understanding of the football world. I mean could someone like Mick Dennis (not a serious suggestion but someone who understand s football and loves the club) do it, or do you need more of a business man? I'm glad I am not in charge of this!
The last two I have worked for, one slightly smaller, the current one larger have both got a policy of succession planning within the organisation. So as of said there will always be someone to step in in the CEOs absence, but there is always ongoing work to ensure that no one is irreplaceable. In business there is always more than one way. But to think there would be no plans for succession in a multi million business strikes me as a poorly run business. Promoting a known from within is likely to be less of a risk than an unknown from outside. Bah!
I'd be very surprised if McNally doesn't get snapped up elsewhere and quite quickly. It seems to me the weaker aspect of McNally's skill set is turning player transfers around. As important as that is, I can't fault the other areas of his command including turning around our finances etc.
This board have been responsible for Grant, roeder, Gunn , Lambert (thanks to Dm) Hootun ( who I'm not criticising) his sacking with six games to go. The scouring of the continent only to find NA on their doorstep. The appointment of AN (largely down to DM). Then Balls arrives, why? Cos he's an infamous NCFC supporter? DM resigns. This has more fishy smells than an african fish factory.
I don't think that it has been mentioned before but replying to a tweet from a teenager in the early hours of the morning immediately suggests to me that he had consumed an amount of alcohol.
Sorry Gambia, you can't give credit to him for the good and ignore the bad. Neil Adams was also his appointment. Hootun staying past his sell by date was likely his call too and although we don't quite know whether it was a good or bad call yet he has kept Neil on, inspite of one of the worst runs the club has ever had and now ultimately we are losing our place again in the PL. Had he of acted and moved Neil on after for example the Liverpoo game, might we have escaped? We don't know but it is easy to argue that from where we were, a more experienced head may well have kept us up. Bah!
