Norwich City is experiencing a number of changes which might hamper them

Norwich City is experiencing a number of changes which might hamper them

During the previous season of the Premier League, Norwich City was able to compete in the top tier English football competition but were relegated after finishing in the 19th spot and now Norwich City have taken a step back to the English League Championship.


After getting relegated, one of the initial objectives that Norwich City had was to snatch top position in the English League Championship and earn their promotion once again to the Premier League but this objective has been harder to accomplish than originally expected.

Norwich City has snatched the 10th spot of the English League Championship with 60 points from 41 matches and even though they still have a chance to secure a play-off promotion spot to the Premier League, it appears like it’s not going to happen as Norwich City has to play against clubs that have been doing fairly impressively in the season.

The opportunity of Norwich City to being able to earn a promotion spot to the English Premier League is still a realistic but a very difficult one to accomplish and especially for a club that has recently been experiencing a number of important changes including changing the head coach and the Sporting Director just to name a few of the more renowned switches.

Alan Irvine is the interim manager of Norwich City who still remain in charge of Norwich City until the end of the current season as he replaced Alex Neil on March 10 of 2017.

Paul Clement has denied that Alan Curtis has been fired from Swansea altogether and will not take part in club affairs in any capacity now.

Curtis’ name is associated with Swansea for four and a half decades and in the past, it’s been said by the Swans’ bigwigs that the Welshman can remain with the club for as long as he wants to.

But, yesterday it got reported that Curtis received an SMS on his phone in which he was informed that the club did not want to have his services anymore.

Alex Neil Slams Players after Humiliating Loss against Brighton

Alex Neil Slams Players after Humiliating Loss against Brighton

Norwich City’s disappointing run continued, but in the worst possible manner, after a 5-0 defeat against Brighton meant that the team have now slipped away from the top places in the Championship table.


Norwich have been one of the early pacesetters, but their form has dropped in the last couple of weeks. It presents a major problem for manager Alex Neil, who appeared extremely confident about promotion only a few weeks ago. After their recent relegation from the Premier League, the parachute payments have helped with the club strength quite significantly in almost all areas of the pitch.

After having suffered only one defeat since August, the team have now failed to win in the last four games of all competitions. Manager Neil will probably remember the recent loss against Brighton more than the three other games. He has branded the defeat as the worst in his career. The young manager will know how to find a way to arrest the slide, or face the risk of dropping out of the play-offs altogether.
