He has a lot of family connections here

His wife used to work for the scum. Not sure if that means she is also local?

Perhaps the appeal of being near family is part of it. Plus of course we are a bigger and better club than Bristol (for now).

My only worry with this appointments is the extent of the scum connections there coupled with his quote about not being a Norwich fan. If it transpires he’s Ipswich then he’s going to get zero leeway from our fan base.
