At the end of the day it is down to the chairman of the club, and I cannot ever remember a ballot box at St James' Park for suggestions from the supporters.
The best quote comes from a Norwich fanzine/website this morning: "I must admit, when I first heard the news I thought 'shit'. But, in his favour, he can offer more to a club in crisis than most people would first think.
"Okay, he's been ushered out of a job by West Ham and Newcastle, but so has Bobby Robson and Harry Redknapp. Does it make them shite managers?"
