FFS Rob you what ? What the hell is the point of supporting any team if you don't want to see them progress and compete regularly at the top level ?
Anyway, I'm happy that at least the club have 'looked outside the box' for all we know DM might just have found another PL

Fair point - poorly chosen words from me.

But hopefully what I mean is clear - I'm not sure I'd want to see someone like Pulis at the helm purely so that we had a better guarantee of PL football (which I agree he is more likely to do). Obviously I'd like us to be promoted and stay there. Of course. But if the price is Pulisesque in charge, I'm not sure whether the viewing will quite be worth it. Bear in mind the complaints about Hughton's style...


Completely agree with your "outside the box" point. For me, much better that he has no previous with Norwich. And while he's hardly a veteran, he's undoubtedly more experienced than Adams and has a better record in significantly tougher circs
 
I don't know why everybody thinks we could of got Pulis anyway. He was always going to hold out for a Prem team and he played hard ball with West Brom over transfers etc as it was. At least if this happens it may mean the board are looking long term. Good luck to the guy if he comes!

Reactions: Canary Rob
It could be the Tsintao's talking but I think this could be a good appointment, it will be fascinating to see who lines up against the Cherries on Saturday and how we play.

Just hope Phelan keeps his job as he is good to have around the place.

Oh FFS what is with the hyperbole on here?

Of course this guy may well not work out. Of course it's a risk. If he doesn't work out, we will appoint a new manager, and another one after that. Even if he does work out and we get promoted and then stay in the PL for a while, he will probably still leave. But my god it really isn't the end of the world. Our club remains in a great position, not just this season, but next, and the season after that and probably the ones after that.

I agree that there are less risky appointments - Pulis is obviously off the cards but is a decent example. I'm not sure I want Norwich to be in the PL that much. Possibly, but I'm not sure. And I don't see this guy as any more risky than Robinson or even that much more risky than Rosler. In fact I wonder whether the likes of Rosler or even Laudrup or some of the other names on here may be more risky because our players don't fit their styles - I've no idea what this guy's style is like.

And, yes, there is a point where the board cannot keep making mistakes, but the idea that they have somehow acted catastrophically in the last couple of seasons is really quite ridiculous. There is time.

Let's get behind the new manager, be patient and hope for the best.

Words of wisdom in a sea of hysteria. Well said Rob
 
Agree with both 1950 and Rob, but I still can't belive that this won't divide the fans again if it happens. The Lambert similarities seem to have caught people's imagaination. Big gamble, but it might just work.
 
Culverhouse here at shorter odds than Bruce - this is amusing!

Actually I like to savour the time we have between managers - thinking of choices, new directions, styles, transfer targets, fan responses, new personality, new haircuts

Then it ends when we are turned over at home by a manifestly better organised and committed outfit - I am missing the commitment that used to be Number one requirement before you let someone near a yellow shirt!
