Unlike Leeds, though, Norwich would be a good fit for DC. A stable club with a good stadium and support, but no massive berty big bollox attitude, who with the right management could easily get back to the Prem. Expectations there are low enough that they would welcome it rather than demand it.
Hopefully there's nothing to the rumour, but this is football, and stranger things have happened.

Considering their supporters were kicking off at their previous boss when they were sitting in a healthy position in the play-off's, I would say they demand it rather than welcome it. They've massively unperformed this season with the squad they have.

When DC believes he has taken us as far as is possible,then he will look to his own future and if a better offer comes then he will move on,with head held high. Many enjoyable times to come before that day, as long as UWE happens.UTG Top 10 in L1 wasn't it? If he achieves that this season and nothing good comes on the stadium in the summer I wouldn't blame him for a move like Norwich.

You obviously aren't a good judge of character, and haven't understood what's going on at this club since the takeover. Any manager with any sense would see that we're going places and want to be part of it. Nothing to do with judge of character. I am a realist though and as a fan of dc I want him to stay here as long as possibke. For that to happen we, as a club need to match his ambition. I hope we do but evidence suggests we won't and so at some point (sorry if this disappoints) he will. Whilst I realize it was a typo, I'm going to use possibike, impossibike and maybe even incredibike in every day conversation from now on.

That was when we were non league,when he signed his new contract he set a new target of getting us in the championship in three years.

If norwich offered him the job he would surely take it,its obvious and fantasy island to think otherwise imo. I dont think the uwe project is that big a deal to the manager,more important to him will be the playing budget for next season.

Yeah any big league 1 , any championship and the likes of Burnley Bournemouth in the Prem and his name will be in there. It's one of those situations that I'm just going to try and ignore because all the time he's ours I just want to keep enjoying it not live in fear that we're going to lose him. UTG No chance he would get a Premier League gig at the moment. I'm also not convinced he's fashionable enough for a big club such as Norwich to come knocking. If we were challenging at the very top of the table, that could change however. Sadly not true. Norwich appointed Alex Neil at the age of 33 when he was totally under the radar in England. He was actually still playing football (player-mgr at Hamilton Accies). The second youngest manager in the Football League at the time. The good news is that after such a young unknown manager they will probably go the other way now and get someone more experienced at Championship level, because if they don't get promotion next season the natives will rip Norfolk to pieces.

I can't see DC going anywhere for the next couple of years. He is still a very young manager and there is plenty of time for him to reach the higher levels (hopefully with us!). I really get the impression from what he says that he wants to stay here for a while and be a part of building the infrastructure for our club and keep progressing the team to a higher and higher level.
It must be so satisfying for him to know that success and rapid progression up the football league is down to him and the coaching team who are investing their time and effort in improving the squad, not simply because we have a rich owner who has a big cheque book. As we have seen from the Rubbish's failure to progress this season and Leicester's fantastic achievement last season, money alone does not buy you success, you need team spirit, resilience, a desire to win and a winning mentality.
Yes, we may not have a bottomless pit like Pantsdown that means we can throw stupid sums of money at him to try and make him stay but we do have one important USP - an amazing opportunity over the next few years for him to truly shape and create his own training facility from scratch and also (fingers crossed!) be an integral part of a future stadium project.

Correct. best friend is a Canary. was at sheff wed with him last week. their expectations are very high. make no mistake about that!

I just looked at their forum and was shocked to see how they demand success now. Who do they think they are? My post was based on my opinion, without actually checking to see if it was true. Thankfully, I'm the only one on Gaschat who does that, so the forum is safe.

I dont think the uwe project is that big a deal to the manager,more important to him will be the playing budget for next season. You sense DC can see the Al-Q's are taking the club places and it seems are prepared to build the club around him i.e. he's been allowed to bring in his own backroom staff, help plan the new training ground and could be potentially managing Rovers in the Championship in a couple of seasons at the UWE. Another issue is DC's never played above lower league level, would be really want to jump straight into a big Championship hot seat or slowly get their with Rovers? Plus how the hell wants to live in Norfolk!

Plus how the hell wants to live in Norfolk! I think managing and playing are very different so i dont think dc will be troubled by the challenge of managing a club like norwich. The thing is they probably wont offer him the job so my opinion that he would take the job if offered wont be tested. Managers dont stay too long in general anywhere so i dont think uwe is a big issue for dc. I believe its going to be very hard and will need serious investment in the squad to better this season next season so i reckon the budget provided is more important to him.

The good news is that after such a young unknown manager they will probably go the other way now and get someone more experienced at Championship level, because if they don't get promotion next season the natives will rip Norfolk to pieces. It's neither true or false, just a intuition based on managerial appointments at that level. With more money at Championship level than ever, the prize for promotion staggering high and the rise of foreign owners, the number of gambles on lower league managerial talent seems to have dwindled significantly. There's clearly a growing appetite for foreign names and Premier League experience in what's rapidly becoming a Premier League 2. Neil is a good shout and was certainly a left field appointment at the time. Scottish managers have always been highly fashionable down south though which may have contributed to Norwich's decision. I agree they'll go for experience this time around.

To be honest we are a football manager dream right now.
A large fanbase with huge potential for growth from one the UKs premier cities.A humble,charming yet fiercely ambitious chairman that wants to take us to the top that DC has A wonderful relationship with.A top class training ground being built,and the UWE right around the corner also.
He is also the legend beyond all legends here.He has his own Roy of the Rovers story here in our clubs greatest ever comeback - From being screwed during those last 8 games when we went down,then taking us up at Wembley,to last year's promotion... to this season's efforts..Etc..
He is at the perfect club for him as he can build us up from the ground up, and will be given the time and resources to do that.
As a club we are as progressive as any club in English football outside of the premiership right now.And I include our very ugly and toothless sister from bs3!

Ummm, not really, still only 9000 crowds.....despite best season in abut 25 years! Also, pretty sure this forum was in virtual meltdown for 6 months whilst a number of idiots on here took great delight in constantly complaining about Dc's failure to make good summer signings, rehiring last seasons squad, daring to retain Ollie Clarke, not playing 4 4 2, not improving our players, too many loan players, not playing our loan players, resting players etc etc......I have absolutely no doubt that These same people plus others would be demanding his sacking if we were struggling.
