Can anyone come up with a reasoned argument for keeping Gunn

By that I mean one that is based on footballing reasons and not based on him being Gunny the player, the legend etc.

I for the life of me cannot. Would any other league club appoint Gunn as manager right now. I doubt it.

Some posters here shoot down anyone who wants Gunn out but on the flip side can they make an argument for keeping in.

The fact that the managerial trio played for Norwich should have no bearing on whether we hire them.

Why would you choose Gunn over say Robins or Gannon or Tilson or Boothroyd. Some say that well Robins has only had success over a short period of time at only one club. Well Gunn has only had failure and even less experience.

We are at a fork in the road right now. One way points upwards, albeit slowly, but the other points to Luton or Oxford.

We cant be sure that one man is better than another, but now isnt the time to gamble. Now is the time to play the odds.

Can we afford to appoint a man who is having to learn on the job.
