It has been a whirlwind seven days, but I'm pleased to be back and working with Norwich City in the Premier League.

It is now the job of myself and Craig to continue and improve on that work with the ultimate aim of surviving in the Premier League.Norwich City is a big club, with a massive hardcore of supporters who are fully understanding of what it means to be part of the club and its community.I was brought up in an era when Norwich we're competing in Europe. I remember those times well and whenever I've visited Carrow Road and Norwich, you can sense the connection between the fans, staff and players.
