Norwich manager Bryan Gunn wants a crack at leading the club back to the Championship next season after their "devastating" relegation at The Valley.
The Canaries knew only a win against Charlton, coupled with defeat for Barnsley at Plymouth, would save them.
As it turned out, the reverse was to happen and a tame 4-2 loss saw Norwich follow the Addicks and Southampton into the third tier for the first time since 1960.
Gunn, who was appointed manager in January until the end of the campaign, said: "The club and the supporters have been let down. To go out on a pitch and capitulate like that is not good enough.
"I want to be involved next season and I will be speaking to the owners and directors over the course of the next few days.
"It's devastating, but we have to fight back and we'll start to fight back on Monday."

I've been a supporter of NCFC all my life but as I've often said before the club must speculate to accumulate. For a team who have the third best attendance record in the division it is strange that the gate money wasn't put to use to buy players who will commit to the club and not to waste money on loan players who just go through the motions to pick up their salaries and have no loyalty to the club.We have all seen the folly in relying on such players. The club must now build a team for the future but NO LOAN PLAYERS PLEASE.
"You must be joking Gunny,you've had your chance and blown it big time,however you have now a record for your CV as the only Manager to get Norwich relegated to the 3rd level of football,just go gracefully because the board already have another manager in mind,It takes a special breed of person to make a manager unfortunately you are not in that group,you are without doubt a very nice person,nice people do not make managers,believe me I was a manager for 28 years."

I'm just wondering but you never said WHAT you managed. Was it a football team or a feckin McDonalds ? IF you know so much why arent you managing some where. What level did you manage at ? U-10's, primary school or what?
"Believe me I was a manager for 28 years."
Not bloody likely.........
ALAN LEE'S A W***ER HE WEARS A W***ER'S HAT HE PLAYS FOR NORWICH CITY AND HE'S A F***ING @#$% HE MISSES WITH HIS LEFT FOOT HE MISSES WITH HIS RIGHT HE WILL NEVER PLAY FOR IRELAND CAUSE HE IS F**KING S**T
Alan l u r a dumbass,Keane is only there until he gets a bigger offer.I have already placed my bet that he will leave in november.
yes exotic trips to places like yeovil and carlisle , but on a bright note still the pride of east anglia and always will be.
For all you sado canaries who blame Brian Gunn and are saying get rid of him,lets be honest now why the hell would any manager who has experience of winning anything want to go to Norwich only one manager fit for you good old Ian Dowie no one else wants him and he would fit in nicely ,but at Ipswich at least we can tempt an upcoming manager who you all slate to get our club into the place they belong the premiership,so even if you can get yourself out of mess you are in we wont be playing you for many seasons to come a little bit of wishful on my part but bye bye Norwich enjoy next season at yeovil Town etc at least you have made a pretty bad season for us into a good old party in Suffolk in May 2009
keep your heads up norwich great club and you will be back as a qpr fan
we know what it's like to fall but you will do a leicester and bounce back
stick with gunn he has pride in the club.

Enjoy it next year guys, oh and the year after that and the year after that.
Thats a dif league too and your current team will not get you out of it.
I was at todays 'game'...if you can call it that!
no-one played with any heart!....nothing really improved until Cody Macdonald came on and there was a slight upturn, which soon dissapeared.
The crowd were shouting 'your not fit to wear the shirt'. TOTALLY AGREE!
.....even at the end Gunn had to tell them to go back and listen to the crowd booing them, it's as if he wanted them to hear how pissed off the fans are with them
.....but he should go back to just being the keeper coach....we need a real manager with experince of winning!
nice people do not make managers,believe me I was a manager for 28 years.
