  Interview with the Eastern Daily Press, 11th May 2016 “We are going to move as quickly as we can to get a long-term replacement. That is not something you can do in 24 hours,” he said. “That is something we are actively working on. We had another board meeting on Monday, those meetings will […]

Well, it’s quite a surprise to be here – I’m not sure I ever expected to share a press conference stage quite like this. George, Vince and I have had very many run-ins in TV studios and across the Despatch Box over the years. And while I’m not involved in politics and the House of […]

‘Big Interview’ with the Eastern Daily Press, 25th May 2016 Balance was a word that came up time and again in Norwich City’s action on the pitch last season – but it has taken on a whole new meaning now. David McNally’s shock resignation as chief executive barely a fortnight ago left a lot of […]

I flew into Marseille on Friday just behind the plane carrying Roy Hodgson and his team, and we managed to chat to Roy on the tarmac. I told him I didn’t envy the big decisions he had to make on team selection. But at least if a football manager gets it wrong with his starting […]

What were the motivations voters had for leaving the European Union? There’s been some big changes in our economies over 20 years as a result of globalization, and I don’t think that either politicians or columnists properly understood what those meant. One was that, 20 years ago when I was involved in making the Bank […]

WHERE’S THE BEEF? Wednesday, 23 December 1998. The political world was absorbed in the intrigue of Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson’s undisclosed home loan to Peter Mandelson. The scandal was threatening to bring down Geoffrey, Peter and, in the process, Gordon Brown’s media adviser and my good friend, Charlie Whelan, who had been accused of leaking […]

Four weeks into the new season, and it already feels like we are on another Norwich City rollercoaster ride. For me, the high so far has been the imperious way the team over-ran Blackburn on the opening day of the season. And the low, that hugely frustrating afternoon in Birmingham. As a club we know […]
