are they his though?

Or are we reliant on chief scouts etc? It's one thing if he is saying 'go and get me these players' and quite another if he's just picking from a list of targets that someone else has produced.

It's been said before but anyone who doesn't want AN as our manager next season (NCFC) - Dunney, Mar 2, 10:03:20
- A blithering idiot for questioning a manager on our (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 2, 13:31:30
  - Every bad run you have to change the manager? (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 2, 13:52:01

    - Manchester United didn't change their manager when they had a bad run (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 14:12:00
      - They got rid of moyes pretty sharpish though didn't they (n/m) (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 2, 14:19:14
        
        Yep. Their expectations when Moyes was there were astronomical and rightly so (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 14:24:34
  - Who's available and better then? Neil Adams again? Bryan Gunn maybe? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 13:44:37
    - Not that it matters but Rogers, moyes for two (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 2, 13:54:33
      - ...and you think Moyes or Rogers would come here in our position??! (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 2, 14:00:27
        
        That's my concern (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 14:02:23
      - Curbishley? When did he last have a managerial job? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 13:57:19
        
        I'm not saying that I think they'd come (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 2, 14:13:04
        
        I see the long term benefit of keeping a promising young manager as the main one tbh (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 14:20:56
        
        As for Rodgers and Moyes, think they'd want to manage us/keep us up then? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 13:57:57
    - Colin is available I think. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dunney, Mar 2, 13:49:41
      - So let's say hypothetically he kept us up, then what? Colin Wanker to cement us as a Prem (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 13:55:02
        
        Errrmmm (NCFC) - Dunney, Mar 2, 14:03:34
        
        Oh sorry haha (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 14:06:34
- I agree but we desperately need a 15-20 goal striker, never know who is going to score. (n/m) (NCFC) - John in Texas, Mar 2, 11:32:01
  - Not exactly easy to get one of those though, is it?! (n/m) (NCFC) - scotchcanary, Mar 2, 11:43:43
    - Was a mistake not going all out for Afobe IMO. (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Mar 2, 11:58:39
- He should stay. He's young and inexperienced but he shows signs of being a good tactician (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Mar 2, 10:17:34
  - Not convinced by the tactical bit. (NCFC) - avenging canary, Mar 2, 10:19:44
    - most of his signings have been poor too (NCFC) - pab, Mar 2, 11:04:51
      - Andreu was part of a sweetener to get AN, IMO. The others were all Plan Z signings. And I (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Mar 2, 12:05:57
      - are they his though? (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 2, 11:27:14
        
        Well McNally said he has final say so yes they're his signings (n/m) (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 2, 12:58:24
        
        Final say does not = his choice though does it? (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 2, 13:18:24
        
        isn't that the same for every manager in the world regarding overseas signings? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 2, 13:22:01
        
        we're talking UK too here presumably? (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 2, 13:57:25
        
        This (n/m) (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 2, 13:25:48
        
        Sure that's the case. AN probably gets to watch targets in one game, maybe two, and have a (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Mar 2, 12:00:13
      - his signings have been awful (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 2, 11:14:54
        
        Nonsense... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 2, 11:51:51
        
        they haven't improved the team though (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 2, 12:16:28
        
        Disagree.. (NCFC) - loz, Mar 2, 12:51:49
        
        yes thought policy was to only buy "better than what got already" (n/m) (NCFC) - pab, Mar 2, 11:19:20
- I think that's pretty disrespectful (NCFC) - Duck, Mar 2, 10:12:32
  - Good post (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 2, 14:03:18
  - agreed, I want Neil to stay because I think there is real value in sticking with a manager (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 2, 11:00:23
