“They are continuing their interest but it’s not even close to something that we would entertain,” said the Exeter chief. “I am sure they will continue their interest — it hasn’t finished.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
There are many reasons why every Norwich fan has a right to feel miserable.
A forthcoming pre-season friendly against Wigan Athletic, a poxy little club who just a few years ago would have been falling over themselves to get City to their place for a warm-up match.
Then there's the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. It might end in a visit to Wembley but it's a bit like getting a ticket to watch a tribute band. It's not really the real thing and is basically, a …
On the morning of December 5, 2008, I received a furious phone call from Rupert Lowe.
He accused me of being unprofessional and downright irresponsible for writing a story in my newspaper that day, saying Southampton were heading for administration.
The story – and it wasn't a very long one – was along the lines that Saints were ready to sell their two star players, Adam Lallana and Andrew Surman, in January, in a desperate attempt to generate some cash as …
For quite a few football clubs, it's not going to be a Happy New Year. It's going to be a lousy one.
While the recession has not hit football as hard as other industries, it will. The knock-on effect was always going to take about six months.
Next month, several clubs are going to be up a certain creek without a paddle.
Norwich may have debts aproaching �20 million, a board who wants to sell and a team which is struggling at the wrong end of …
All is not well at either of the top two clubs in Spain.
Real Madrid have this strangely amusing habit of sacking their successful managers, while keeping the ones who struggle.
Despite winning two European Cups, two League titles, one European Super Cup and the World Club Championship in just four years, it still wasn't enough for Vicente Del Bosque who was given the bullet 48 hours after his second La Liga success in 2003.
In a decision we hope will one …
In journalism, it's commonly known as a “F**k me!” story.
The type of unbelievable tale which comes completely out of the blue with the natural reaction being to spit out those two certain words.
It was Wednesday lunchtime and, with a fellow hack from the Daily Mirror, I was just leaving a location in the City where the Professional Footballers Association had announced a link-up with a gaming firm (and we were the only two reporters who turned up). …
Alex Ferguson is probably wishing he'd kept his mouth shut. By criticising his supporters for making the atmosphere at Old Trafford like 'a funeral' against Birmingham, the Manchester United manager has opened up a can of worms.
And this particular can is one the Glazer family would have preferred left untouched. The irony over Fergie's comments are nothing short of hilarious and for an intelligent man, the United manager has scored a major own goal by …
In a week when English football became the laughing stock of football, it was ironic we should be drawn against a country synonymous with a leotard-wearing comedian sporting dodgy facial hair.
As a tabloid journalist, and having being given the odd assignment from time-to-time, I found myself staring at the phone with trepidation after we were drawn against a certain country in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Phone rings: 'Charlie, we need you to go to Kazakhstan …
The board of Norwich City certainly took their time. Far too long, in fact.
But in terms of finding a man who can get the team out of the terrible position they find themselves in, Roeder is a good choice.
When things start hotting up down at the bottom come March and April, I genuinely believe Norwich will not be among those clubs staring League One down the barrel.
It's pretty obvious there were not too many options in terms of bringing a new man in.<br …
The day Peter Grant took over at Norwich, I spoke to a member of staff at West Ham. They were happy he'd got a manager's job but questioned whether he would be a success, giving the reason that he was such a nice bloke.
Strange, that. Particularly when you consider that over these last 12 months Grant has made David Brent look like a genius in man-management.
From slagging off the fans, to slagging off the club's best player, to slagging …
Dalglish’s exit this afternoon will once more get the tongues wagging. Is Lambert lined up as Shankly’s grandson and heir?
Let’s not worry about Lambert too much and just celebrate an incredible year. What will be, will be…
After 20-odd years in this game, one thing I have learned is to always expect the unexpected. So don’t expect Lambert to be a Villa shoe-in…
I’m sure Trapattoni knows what he’s doing, but it all seems very rough justice on the Norwich Two this Euro2012 lark
Reasons to be cheerful, part 74, and why I do so hope Roy will feed the Horst this summer and watch him score…
The managerial merry-go-round spins wildly on with Lambert looking no further forward than a big night out with the Bhoys
Ruddy earns his rightful reward with a Euro2012 call-up; alas, Holt misses out on the Unibond to the Ukraine…
Liverpool preparing a statement on the future of Dalglish as speculation mounts over an impending Lambert exit
Three-time Player of the Season Holt sets his sights on the top five as the speculation swirls around his boss Lambert
Super-slick City sign off in fine style as an ever-canny Lambert keeps all his options open as to his future plans
