Finally! EFL checks on Norfolk Group are complete and we move forward

It has to have been one of the most prolonged ?takeovers? in the history of football. Except it wasn’t even a takeover. It was merely the approval of a share issue ? one that gives Mark Attanasio and his Norfolk Group parity of ownership with...

Can Norwich City afford to be in the Championship next season"

Can Norwich City afford to be in the Championship next season"

It’s a conundrum. As it stands both scenarios are eminently possible. It’s looking increasingly likely that we will be in the playoffs, but from there, who knows" The scuttlebutt from ‘sources’ is that the club is £90m in the...

Still so many questions and what-ifs regarding Mr Wagner

Still so many questions and what-ifs regarding Mr Wagner

The Wagner debate roars on among the City fanbase. After an appalling mid-season run, the German has seemingly turned his and his side’s fortunes around, propelling them ahead of the chasing pack and needing three more points to secure one of...

River End angst … Angus heroics … but City edge closer to the playoffs

It was never going to be the stroll some were expecting. Having written the match preview and, in doing so, having done some light digging into what makes this iteration of the Robins tick, it became clear they were lively, well-organised,...

“Scruffy” it may have been but City deliver an away-day masterclass at Deepdale

If only there were a Championship table based on a team’s ability to wind up opposition managers. If so, we wouldn’t be stressing about whether or not we can claim a playoff place. We’d be prime Leicester City in early January....

ACADEMY: Midfield overloads dent U21s qualification hopes

ACADEMY: Midfield overloads dent U21s qualification hopes

It was a bitterly disappointing defeat at home to Southampton for the U21s last Friday. It meant they have won just once since the turn of the year. This result has dented the Canaries’ playoff qualification hopes, as they now sit in 18th place...

A day that made football fun again … thank you, David

A day that made football fun again … thank you, David

It?s only right to start with those three little words: I was wrong. November?s abject 3-1 defeat to the ten men of Blackburn at Carrow Road was a personal tipping point. Wagner had to go. My issues with the club were (and...

ACADEMY: Weaver departs. Chance now for a new broom and a reset

It?s been tough for the academy throughout the second half of the season, with the U18s and U21s teams both experiencing difficulties. With a rebuild needed on the pitch, one will also now be required behind the scenes after the head of academy...

NORWICH CITY WOMEN: Promotion dream all but gone despite unbeaten week

NORWICH CITY WOMEN: Promotion dream all but gone despite unbeaten week

Although the wheels of City’s women?s team keep churning, the title will almost certainly be heading to South London. In a pretty unique situation, an unbeaten league campaign won?t be good enough for the Canaries to automatically make the...

The Preview: Preston North End v Norwich City

Squeaky bum time. We?re down to the stage where each game changes the picture. On Tuesday, City missed a gilt-edged opportunity to put breathing space between us and other challengers for a playoff spot. But Coventry?s loss eased the...

Two points dropped on a ‘back down to earth’ night at Hillsborough

Two points dropped on a ‘back down to earth’ night at Hillsborough

Bugger. That wasn’t supposed to happen. Especially when armed with a comfortable 2-0 lead and a level of control that should have deemed it game over. But if there’s one thing we’re good at on the road, it’s conjuring up new...

The Preview: Norwich City v Bristol City

And then there were three. Games left that is. Unless we make it to the playoffs, and then there will be five? or even six. You know what I mean. But, as we?ve learned from bitter experience, it?s deadly to count your chickens in this game,...

Still so many unanswered questions … we await a fascinating few months

As I mentioned in the comments of Gary’s article on Sunday, the mind-game season is now in full swing. It would surprise no one if, between now and Saturday’s game with Bristol City, both camps bemoan injuries, suspensions, and a raft of other...

Another tale… this one of two sporting directors

As interminably annoying as international breaks are, they do at least offer the time and space to take stock of where we are, how we got there, and what the possibilities are going forward. Handy really when you have Norwich City-related web...

ACADEMY: Greater consistency has equated to more points for Under-18s

Since the start of the new year, the U18s have picked up seven points from seven games in the league – a vast improvement compared to the first half of the season where they managed just one win. Their two wins in January and February came...

No such thing as a bad pro … but for some it just doesn’t work out

It’s going to be a long fortnight. Mid-season international breaks are veritable nightmares for editors of football websites that stick to the domestic scene. Even more so when there is no imminent transfer window. So, to an old friend...

Okay, so technically Preston, Boro, and Cardiff are still in with a shout of claiming that final promotion spot, but to have included them would have ruined what I quietly thought was a corny but inspired title. So, sorry Boro, PNE and...

Respect to Wagner. It’s not just the turnaround… it’s the scale of it

To fully grasp the scale of this revival, it’s worth revisiting what was effectively its starting point. If you’re feeling brave, transport yourself back to around 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 5. No fireworks. Only damp squibs. We...

Here we go. Assuming City can maintain their performance levels at home, our end-of-season fate will come down to whether we improve them on the road. For half an hour at Middlesbrough, the answer seemed to be a clear yes. Then ? well,...

The U21s conjured up a fantastic 2-0 away win against Leeds in PL2 last Friday, rising to 14th in the table – three points clear of the last qualification place. Not only was it a massive result from a league-standing perspective, but it...
