Harry Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 1 hour ago, W-S-M Seagull said: I don't disagree. However my comments were about Manning. I did explain why I had those thoughts. Yes there is little loyalty in football and everyone is essentially just passing through. However in my opinion it's likely Manning will pass through quicker than others and that's why I've not warmed to him. Not many managers have their career saved and then get given significant funds to spend and then bugger off months later. I guarantee 95% minimum would do exactly what Manning did. You saying that not many managers have moved on that quickly doesn’t mean it wouldn’t happen. It just means not many managers have had the offer. Any manager who gets the offer to move up a division and increase their bank balance significantly will always jump at the chance. It’s not something to single out Manning with. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average for the club at Anderlecht, tore this division apart with great finance and then failed at the top level after a ridiculous and unnecessary rebuild. I’m yet to be convinced he’s anything like top level coaching material, particularly with a Brighton who won’t have the finance to allow him to do what he did to this division with Burnley. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who’s a Burnley season ticket holder has said he wouldn’t be missed if he did leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be perfect for their ridiculously loud PA system. You could still probably hear him better in the Dolman from there than you can currently!

No way Ashton is going to let McKenna leave this summer without an enormous pay out. I just can’t see Brighton being that attractive an option for him anyway compared to Ipswich. Now if Ten Hag got the boot and Man United came calling, I think McKenna might jump ship. As for Manning, lots of family and personal reasons for him to move back to East Anglia. And then there is the potential at Norwich compared to here. Crayon Boy isn’t in Delia’s league! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 After the capitulation against Leeds, the Norwich board will be under pressure to make the right appointment. With their bloated squad they’re also going to be rubbing up against FFP problems. Would expect them to go for someone with experience, rather than taking a risk on a relative novice like Manning. Actually, Nige would be a much better fit for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 What you have to remember is that they won't have any outstanding parachute money so will be looking to offload players. So not necessarily an attractive proposition. . . . . He's off then. Now, who do we know who knows the area, can come in at short notice & do a really good job??? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
