    Mike Phelan has just left Norwich City.

    Bruce's new No.2?

    It's a very reasonable shout.

    Without looking it up, why did he leave Man Utd? Was it as simple as Sir Alex retired and Moyes wanted a clean sweep of the backroom?

    Yep.

    Probably the biggest mistake Moyes made at Man Utd.

    I don't think SB will want a threat to his job. Would Phelan be seen as an imminent replacement if SB was sacke? A bit like PB when he came in.

    Norwich fans on the "pink un" are saying he's been frozen out by the new management team.

    Phelan is very well regarded at Norwich, and I suspect he felt a shoe in for the Manager position. Probably feels a little pissed off they brought that fella from Scotland in. Good news for us if he comes to work with Brucie.

    Interestingly Phelan replaced Brucie as captain of Norwich 1987 when Bruce left for Man Utd.

    If we appoint him I'll be Phelan a little more optimistic about survival.

    Would give me a bit of hope if we got him and he's known Bruce for decades so they will know how to work with each other
