McInnes and Robinson, two other names mentioned as Neilson's replacement, were also sacked at their last jobs down south before coming up and here and having some success to a degree. Most managers end up getting sacked at some point these days. Doesn't mean that they're all terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LarrysRightFoot Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We either go with a manager on a supposed downward trajectory- McInnes Neill Or one on a upward trajectory but unproven at a bigger club - Goodwin Davidson McCann (he seems to have got ICT going but yes it’d be a huge risk, especially given what’s happened the last 5 years) Or someone new to management Big Dunc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like all Norwich managers, including the current one, their board hasn’t backed them well when they have been promoted Norwich have been one of those clubs for a while now who seem too good for the Championship but can't hack it in the PL. Doesn't help if the board aren't backing managers. I'd think Preston fans would think of him somewhat highly too. Actually gave them hope of promotion which was pretty incredible for a club like them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mscjambo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Have a mate who's a Preston fan and he points to Neil not being properly backed financially after losing key players . Would be a logical appointment therefore can't see it happening lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigPaul365 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Putting Stendel aside, (and puppet Cathro) the first managerial appointment which hasn’t been in the jobs for boys network since Paulo Sergio in August 2011. Every reason to be excited about this appointment, finally a change to the pish we have had to swim through for half a decade + and can move forward now. *If true* we must give him time and taper expectations for next season. Give Alex Neil three transfer windows and the time. Have a look at things when 2022-2023 is underway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
