I agree with the second to last bit

but it's the last paragraph which is the main problem

"A chance" equalling 8 months in charge to me isn't a chance at all

That's where Gunn is in probably one of the most difficult positions in football now (and anyone else who took the job)

Because

He'll try and implement his ideas now, and will have a plan, but probably a plan like most other managers, that revolves around assessing the team, gathering a list of targets, obtaining them, and then hoping they all stay fit

In the above list of targets, probably the one he works hardest on, or the longest will fall through. One of them will be good but will probably get injured. Some won't work out or will be rubbish

Depending on resources, plan a or the only plan will have to work straight away

or

You're the most clueless manager of all time, and you'll get sacked

When those are options you get when being Norwich manager, there's one basic question rather than money to ask

Why would you want the desire to even manage Norwich City?
