Couple of things on what Boothroyd's said

During the summer, another Wrather told me we'd been desperate to get him in January, but just couldn't afford the longer term contract he - quite naturally - wanted. I'm impressed by the accuracy of this Wrather's info! Who knows where we'd be now if we'd been able to get him? But ah well - bygones...

Also, where Aidy talks about Norwich being run by different people now: it almost sounds as though he views this as a negative, which is very strange. I can't believe that's a view shared within football, except by his w**ker of a Chairman. Depending on how his career develops from here, I still think he's a possible future Norwich manager.

Good luck to the boys tomorrow: hope we absolutely stuff 'em. And farewell and cheers to Gossy: THAT is how to leave a club with dignity.
