With Glenn Roeder leaving the club today, speculation is rife over who will be the next Norwich City manager.
In this second part, we take a look at another bunch of potential candidates.
Paul Jewell
Age: 44
Clubs managed: Bradford City, Sheffield Wednesday, Wigan Athletic, Derby County.
Was the fan’s choice following Peter Grant’s departure, but reportedly gave Delia and co the run-around and ended up at Derby – and then the News of the World. Horrendous spell at Derby would have damaged his reputation, but would another spell back in the Championship give him a chance to re-build?
Roy KeaneAge: 37
Clubs managed: Sunderland.
Took Sunderland from the bottom of the Championship to the Premier League in his first season in management. Left suddenly in December, and fiery temper would certainly give a kick up the backside to all at the club.
Alan Pardew
Age: 47
Clubs managed: Reading, West Ham United, Charlton Athletic.
Did well at Reading but upset Royals fans with the manner of his departure to West Ham. After a mixed review at West Ham took over Alan Curbishley’s old job at Charlton but could not get them back in the Premier League. Seems to have a similar personality to Roeder.
Bruce Rioch
Age: 61
Clubs managed: Torquay, FC Seattle, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Bolton, Arsenal, Norwich, Wigan, Odense, Aalborg.
Vastly experienced former Canary boss who still lives in the area. Would need to bury the hatchet with the current board if he were to take the job.
Mark Robins
Age: 39
Clubs managed: Rotherham United (current).
Former City striker currently doing a good job with Rotherham. Would be a surprise choice.
Steve Tilson
Age: 42
Clubs managed: Southend United (current).
Current Southend manager who the board have aimed to get in the past. Doing a great job at Roots Hall, could the time to step up be now?
Nigel Worthington
Age: 47
Clubs managed: Blackpool, Norwich City, Leicester City, Northern Ireland.
Former City boss who like Rioch still lives in the area. Would supporters accept him back? Would he even want to come back?
