They oscillate wildly, don't they?

Grant - no contacts, yoof, a bit 'Norwich'
Roeder - loads a contacts, experienced, not at all 'Norwich'
Gunn - decent contacts, yoof, very 'Norwich'...

one hopes the pendulum is settling sometime soon...

        So, I think what you're saying is... (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 14:05:35
        
        Many are still doing the same things in debating (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:11:29
        
        the people who are hiring and firing these guys own the club (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 14:20:51
        
        Agree with all this (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:47:27
        
        But they own the club unless someone comes in to take over it their right to get it wrong (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:15:08
        
        Which is my point I guess (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:20:34
        
        you say they fail to learn but I disagree (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 14:25:55
        
        They oscillate wildly, don't they? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 24, 14:31:09
        
        alot of it is luck (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 24, 14:41:48
        
        I'll accept that perfectly when I see how Gunn rides pre season and next (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:29:38
        
        you mean when.. (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 14:33:22
        
        haha, I guess I just fear for him (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:38:25
        
        but that's the reality of lower league teams (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 24, 14:42:21
        
        Its all opinions though isn't it....Worthy probably desrved at least one crack (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:10:57
        
        In saying that (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:16:08
        
        I agree with pants at this point, 100%. We simply HAVE to allow Gunn (NCFC) - megson, Mar 24, 14:41:17
        
        I disagree, there is interest in Clingan and Crofty, money will be freed up by fozzy, patt (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:54:13
        
        but if Gunn shows signs of building a team...not a collection of individuals then (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:29:21
        
        Yeah I agree (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:35:38
- Carl Cort is play as you play, whats the problem? (n/m) (NCFC) - conker, Mar 24, 13:31:41

    - I've never been impressed with the clubs which constantly chop and change (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 24, 13:40:11
      - that isn't possible now because (bizarrely) fans have too much influence (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 14:11:14
        
        Yes, yes, yes. (not in a Meg Ryan way) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 24, 14:20:56
        
        You're right there (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 14:23:55
      - But it was popular opionon. Worthy was given too much time in most peoples eyes. Grant was (NCFC) - stringersrevenge, Mar 24, 13:47:12
      - eh? Why would I want to have a go at you? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 13:42:00
        
        (but my point was, once you realise you've got it wrong (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 13:44:59
        
        I agree with Mr Hawes (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 13:49:56

        agreed (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 13:56:30
        
        oops - very very *few* managers (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 14:00:33
        
        agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 24, 13:52:05
    - See, there's always constant excuses for decisions made here (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 13:33:46
      - You can't have it both ways though pants (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 13:40:35
        
        No not really (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 13:48:56
        
        they may well try and have it both ways, but your position is inconsistent, pants (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 13:56:40
        
        my point is consistent (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:22:17
        
        Yes they probably have got it right once, so why give the wrong signings longer? (NCFC) - megson, Mar 24, 14:44:27
        
        Didn't Rioch screw it up? (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 15:03:03
        
        Dunno about Roeder (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 24, 13:46:03
        
        I think he hated being told he was wrong (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:24:17
        
        "Gunny appears a bit more tactile." (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 24, 14:37:28
        
        genuine lol (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 24, 14:54:13
        
        I think you two basically agree (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 13:50:38
        
        I'm trying dead hard last foo days (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:49:28
  - Has to be the right manager though (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 13:23:52
    - Good point, or Anthony McPartlin (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Mar 24, 13:39:53
    - They just have to make sure they don't do the wrong things, but do the right things instea (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 24, 13:29:08
- But if they don't *have* the x amount needed to buy the striker... (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 24, 13:17:00
  - At the start of next season, if we aren't winning games (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 13:25:30
    - No it will probably confirm to us all that we are a league 1 side with delusions of (NCFC) - stringersrevenge, Mar 24, 13:51:56
      - ahh, but how can those delusions be true if we spend all this money and have (NCFC) - pants, Mar 24, 14:51:00
  - But WHY don't we have any money after two share issues and a season in the prem? (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 24, 13:21:19
    - because we spent too much on players (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 13:48:25
      - Exactly...I want to get back to being a club that spots and develops youth and young playe (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:03:16
        
        That's why i'm clinging to the Cody thing - build em up, sell em on (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 24, 14:06:12
        
        that seems to be the approach Gunn is taking, Roeder seemed to be of the opposite view (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:13:41
        
        Its a great idea but the problem is that (NCFC) - Cart Gap Disco, Mar 24, 14:11:24
        
        The problem is that big clubs are buying the decent 15, 16 yo to sit in the youth teams ra (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 24, 14:19:48
        
        True. From here the issue gets hoooge though, dunnit? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 24, 14:17:01
