I think we all know it's McCann already don't we? The tenuous story on FLW about him being offered the job sounds likely to me, the club will know the mood is turning mutinous now. It won't bother them that much but they will be aware they have to appoint someone now, even if that someone is bit of a fat headed nobody that only they want anywhere near the job.

Very concerning if they pick mccann ahead of neil imo
 
Neil would be a very good appointment. He has a very good CV and likes to play just the sort of football we're supposed to be playing. He's a hell of a lot better as manager than either McCann or Keane. Really pleased we dodged the bullet of Keane and would happy to give Neil my support. Johnson was only ever League One and Keane is only a TV pundit, but Neil is clearly the quality of at least the league above us.

Why not, clubs like Bradford, Barnsley, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Brentford, Wigan have all managed it.

If Alex Neil can get us to where Preston were ..... I'd be ecstatic this appointment doesn't need to be the one to lead us to championship glory he just needs to get us up and get us mid table to playoffs

out of the possible candidates he seems the best equipped to do it

also a few in that list spent a fortune compared to Preston... in Wigans case they had a bigger budget in 2004 than he did 15 year later

“Got Preston near the playoffs”

This is how far we’ve fallen

Exactly. We’re a play off contending L1 club at the moment. So his record is as good as we can realistically expect. Two promotions, a sacking for standing up to a rotten core, a seventh finish on the nineteenth budget then having his best players sold out from under him. Three PNE fans on this thread all rate him. No one on here knows a Norwich fan who thinks he’s shite.
Hopefully we won’t be falling any further whoever comes in.

You just ignoring the

"got Norwich to the Premier League"

His managerial CV is as good as Keanes as much as some on here won't admit it

He was my choice before the Keane link. I think he's very much a coach rather than manager. It's the fact Keane as a manager brings a good coach too.

The only worry I have is the lads here seem to need a good manager, motivator at the moment... Hope he's up to that part.

Would have had a better chance before the last two games!
