Bit baffled by the negativity r.e: the Gunn signing.
1.) It’s not your money, so don’t worry about the fee
2.) £5m is peanuts these days anyway
3.) Angus already knows how Farke works so no adjustment period
Makes complete sense to me, but there you go!

A 5-0 defeat for Norwich, and their horrendous season finishes in the most predictable fashion.

Of course another defeat hurts, but the saddest thing about the

Dean Smith has been offered the job as Norwich City head coach.
