Just reading the latest Norwich article on the BBC and saw this quote from Bowcett.

We need a high quality manager and in Chris we have somebody who has won the Championship, managed a huge club in Newcastle and has managed in the Europa League.

Is that a hint to the ambitions of the board to try and compete in the Europa league?

We could do it in three years I feel but I would rather the club was to become financially stable first
 
I wouldn't want a fleeting season in Europe - can be a huge curse if a club aren't ready for it - I'd prefer to build gradually and get it when we are ready for it...that said, I've seen it said that we're aiming for 17th...which I think is a dangerous way to think -
 
Priorities:

1. Financial stability
2. Stay up ! (hopefully coupled to 1 above)
3. Good FA Cup run (to generate cash to help 1 above but not at the expense of 2 above)

Hope that all makes sense <whistle>
 
Agreed, but I woud add one more in there.

Priorities:

1. Financial stability
2. Stay up ! (hopefully coupled to 1 above)
3. Highest league position possible
4. Good FA Cup run (to generate cash to help 1 above but not at the expense of 2 above)

Hope that all makes sense <whistle>
 
I would be happy with another 12th place finish, a short cup run and to end up above Villa again. I think financial stability is a must and to build slowly is the sensible thing. It has been suggested that PL was a little impatient ( and therefore maybe have missed the Everton job) I hope CH lives up to the hype and the players give their all for him like they did for PL. I don't believe the promoted teams are a big threat, we are a year in front of them.We are as good as most of the Premier League, so bring it on. With a few good signings we will be ok...........can't wait............OTBC

think this is the board managing the fans expectations what is said behind closed doors is probably a bit different
 
I would like to see Norwich beat Southampton and West Ham because they seem to be Norwich's bogie sides. It would be good have have a run in the League Cup or FA Cup. Could finish in the top 10 or 12th and have some stability.
