it's not really a prestigious position though is it? Perhaps if we

woud be prepared to pay several million per year we could attract some big name. But then what exactly would they do that isn't being done now?

My view is that a person with the knowledge, experience and contacts that Balls has wouldn't come close to considering the role unless they were a fan of the club. Particularly an unpaid or relatively low paid role. Same goes for Bowkett. Basically, we are lucky to have him - because there is far from an infinite supply of Norwich fans with anything like the skills required for the role.
