It is, but ALL the great managers were inexperienced at some point, you can't rule someone

out on that.
Someone has to give them their first proper crack at it.
So i'm reasonably happy to do that with Gunn, knows the game, has a decent team, worked with some good managers in his time as a player.

His lack of experience has showed IMHO but, again, that doesn't bother me so long as he learns.
I think he is.

  - Steve Tilson would jump at the chance to come here League 1 or Champ. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:15:06
- I'm undecided on this so far. Gunn's got one or two things badly wrong for me so far, but (NCFC) - megson, Apr 23, 10:09:14
  - out of interest, which mistakes? (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 10:22:46
    - agree with Killen, gambled, failed, move on. No issue with that at all. (NCFC) - megson, Apr 23, 10:54:56
      - ok, fair enough (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 11:15:37
    - i think excluding matty patty is a bit of a mistake (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:24:38
      - what if he's gone totally shite (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 10:25:50
      - though we don't know why i guess (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:25:11
  - But logic tell me... (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:13:43
    - I don't believe anything is guaranteed (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 10:24:13
      - That is true. But it is about taking the lesser gamble. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:26:07
        
        It is, but ALL the great managers were inexperienced at some point, you can't rule someone (NCFC) - megson, Apr 23, 10:57:53
- We don't have any money to pay compensation (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:08:55
  - They all have 6 month contracts only. No compensation required (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Apr 23, 10:18:17
    - I mean for another manager (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:20:39
      - Ahh. Sorry. (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Apr 23, 10:33:30
  - A contract given then on the basis of one good result. Utter incompetence. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:16:38
  - a promise of a full-time job and a big fat bonus might've helped persuade them (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 23, 10:16:20
    - But only if they kept us up i would hope. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:17:32
    - ^^^ dependant on them keeping us up... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 23, 10:16:50
      - maybe (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:17:42
        
        OK, not sacking, but not renewing (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:21:01
        
        They should not have to sack him if the deal is only till the end of the season... (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:19:32
  - If that is true then that is madness and we deserve to sink lower. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:14:35
