............later today according to BBC North West sports reporter Richard Askham


richard askam @richaskam · 38 mins38 minutes ago Expect Mike Phelan to be named as First Team Coach of Norwich City later today #ncfc #canaries #mufc
 
Thanks guys. If this works out this is great news IMO. It won't necessarily sort out our problems straight away, but it's a big step in the right direction.

Bit of a coup for the board as well, Phelan is hardly a nobody...
 
Brilliant news and as Rob says, what a coup for City !



Phelan, who starts his new role with the Canaries on Wednesday, said: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to return to Carrow Road. I have many fond memories and am looking forward to helping Neil and the team to progress and ultimately getting back into the Premier League where they deserve to be."

tbh boys, thats the most sensible decision your board has made for a very very long time. <ok>

Bit of an exaggeration that, the jury is still well out regarding Neeyull so ridiculous to rule that out as a bad decision yet. Also I'd say signing Cameron Jerome for £1.5 was a superb piece of business, and the deal to ship RVW out on the terms that we did was also very astute if you ask me. Does "very, very long time" not stretch back just five years when we appointed Lambert and signed Grant Holt for £400k?

As for the Phelan appointment - well chuffed with this, absolutely brilliant news <ok>

Jesus Christ Munky, last time I looked the grass was green, what colour do you make it!
 
its a very sensible appointment and a bit of a coup from a coaching point of view. adams desperately needs a strong, experienced right hand man, though i'd be surprised if phelan isn't our manager by the end of this season.

Spot on. The board have obviously made some mistakes in the last couple of seasons, but before that they pretty much nailed most important decisions and even in the last couple of seasons there have been a few positives to mitigate the many negatives. Not least just taking a glance at our fellow relegated teams...

Paddy Power @paddypower
Ex-Man Utd assistant boss Mike Phelan is new first-team coach at Norwich. How could they refuse the CV he sent in?

As Superman alluded to above, compare that CV to that of the man he's 'assisting' and coaching for....

to be fair cromer, that tweet is a joke.

he won 3 league titles and a league cup as assistant at united. still impressive but i think taking the acclaim for ALL of fergie's trophies at united might be a step too far <laugh>

he was a very fine footballer and has had success both as a player and in coaching. i know he has an extremely high opinion of himself - lets just say he isn't here to play second fiddle for long.
 
I'm very happy to see the undoubted experience of Mike Phelan come in, I think it is much needed, How the dynamic will work between a vastly experienced coach and a very inexperienced manager will be interesting. After the Royle U-turn this is the experienced head we needed.

Bah!
