I agree with some of your points.

To be honest, I quite like the fact that our approach is completely left field because, as has been pointed out below, it suggests some research and thought has gone into it.

My worry isn't so much about the change in standard from Scottish football to here. It's the change in job role.

At Hamilton Neil appears to have shown great abilities at motivating people, getting them on his side and getting the best of if them. Those skills are great, but the thing is he's done that with a bunch of very young players who he had been working with since he took on a coaching role with the u17s or who have only known him as a captain or leader. This is a club where the record signing is ?180k, and the average attendence is about 2.5k.

That doesn't diminish his achievements at all, if anything it underlines them, but the challenge at Norwich will be completely different. He'll have to win the players over from scratch, and these players are in a very different place to the ones he has at the access.

If the likes of Phelen stays, they work well together, and he gains the trust of the squad, hopefully that'll be the platform for him to put his abilities as a manager to good use. We'll see... If he comes
