Norwich will be his last game in charge.

Yes, of any club ever.

Twitter rumours are a big pile of horse-shit.


I take some solace from them at the moment.

Well, he and Steve Kean and Owen IUD should get plenty of golf practice next year, shouldn't they?  ;)

Recently there have been quite a few people saying we need a football man on the board, and of those people a fair few have suggested Steve Stride could be that man.

Forgive me, and this is a genuine question, not a dig. But what makes Steve Stride so good?

Ask Ron Atkinson; "The best secretary I ever worked with." Or UEFA, who put him on their experts panel.

I'd venture to suggest that Steve Stride is yesterday's man.

Could be, but it's clear that PF and RL need expert advice from somewhere.

Then again, I'm available. ;-)

Can we fuel the fire on these rumours that he is indeed going, and inundate the club tomorrow with season ticket enquiries on the basis that he's going only to withdraw our interest when they can't confirm it.This could then filter back to Lerner and tip him over the edge and make him pull the trigger!

Superb idea. I'm going to spend the whole day calling VP.

Thanks Dave, he must be some administrator. Very able to push through what the manager wants to see happen.

By the sounds of things, to make things work we need someone like Steve. But also someone to provide the vision.

And of course give you know who the heave ho.

Was there any basis in the Comoli rumours at the weekend? Maybe he is the football man being lined up.

Most likely for Spuds if he really was there!
