I've a bottle of wine at stake with a mate in the office that Sunderland finish higher in the EPL than City do in the Championship! Go on Roy!!;)

Fellow Norwich fans hows it hanging. Its looks like we are in for a busy summer of transfers. Looks like Earnie could be on his way out coz he wants premiership football. And Grant has been scouting round for new players. For more news on Norwich look on www.pinkun.com (http://www.pinkun.com) Its a local site and updates with new news about the Canaries every day.


Thanks for the heads up on this site. Makes following the Canaries from afar a lot easier.

There is a school of thought that not all the players are fully behind Grant and it's easy to make a case for some players being less than enamoured with their manager. Only those in the inner sanctum of the dressing room no the truth behind that, and if there is any, Grant has only one option: to get rid of them. If not, they will eat away at the core of his squad. Then it's hello, League One.

truly truly awful is what I hear ... its seems, however, that Grant might just resign. QPR area a terrible side, without a manager, last English club to win a league game, and they took us apart I hear.

Norwich City boss Peter Grant "is considering his future" after the Canaries continued their nosedive to third from bottom of the league.

Grant said after the match that "something's got to give".

He said: "I can't work any harder. It's either me or the players. I'll take a long, hard look at it and assess the situation. I'll make the right decision in the next few days."

Peter Grant said goodbye to Norwich City tonight after just a year in charge and following a string of defeats for the club

“We would like to express our heartfelt best wishes to Peter and his family and wish him and them every success for the future,” he said [City chairman Roger Munby].

Probably Dion will step up ...

I've heard talk of Mickey Adams. Wouldn't be a bad move I think.

[Disco Dale]

Not sure about Adams, or Crook, Joe Royle is in running too, Jewell distancing himself, here is what Championship Manager 2001/2002 think of Dublin as a coach:-

I know this is a few days old but can't find it on here Norwich City have got another loan signing he is called Ched Evans and is a 18 year old striker from Man City.

From BBC Sport:

Norwich City have completed the loan signing of Manchester City striker Ched Evans until 1 January.

Evans made his senior debut for the Premiership side in the 1-0 Carling Cup win against the Canaries in September.
The 18-year-old scored a hat-trick for Wales on Tuesday in the 4-2 win against France in their Under-21 Uefa Championship qualifier in Cardiff.
"It's a great opportunity to play in the Championship and at a good level of football," he told Norwich's website. Evans has scored 12 goals in eight starts for the reserves this season.



Sounds like a good loan for us and hope he does well.

Hopefully the corner is turning.

Chadwick has been great for us alot this season hope his form stays.

Looks like the break did us good...need to keep it going with a big game at Blackpool Tuesday ... they are down the wrong end too, so a victory there would be a great boost... from what I here the midfield finally worked .. with Fotheringham coming back from injury and playing well, alongside Russell, things really looking up..

out of the bottom three, and 4 wins in 5, looking much better at the moment,

Ken Nethercott dies (http://www.pinkun.com/content/ncfc/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PinkUnOnline&tCategory=Norwich&itemid=NOED15%20Dec%202007%2014%3A26%3A46%3A427) at 82
[He] was an integral part of the Canaries' famous 1959 FA Cup run side, who defeated Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United on their way to the semi-finals.

In all, he played 416 times for City between 1947 and 1959, putting him eighth in the club's all-time appearance list,

He played on with a dislocated shoulder in the 1959 FA Cup final.... can you imagine Dida doing that? :D

[Disco Dale]
