Here’s a top ten shortlist of managers who could suit Norwich City’s current situation (i.e., immediate need to avoid relegation from the EFL Championship).
1 Sam Allardyce - A genuine “survival specialist” with a track record of turning around struggling clubs.
2 Neil Warnock - Very experienced in crisis mode, knows the Championship and relegation battles well.
3 Gary O’Neil -Younger, modern mindset, and could inject energy into a club in trouble — a bit of a gamble but with upside.
4 John Mousinho - Less high-profile, but has worked in tough situations and could be a fresh choice. (Mentioned in earlier conversation)
5 Grant McCann - Has experience in managing under pressure and getting teams out of difficult positions.
6 Nigel Adkins - Experience with promotions and stabilising clubs; could be steadier hand.
7
Alan Knill - Has done “save”-type jobs (e.g., helping avoid relegation) though at lower levels; could be a cost-effective option.
8 Micky Adams - Proven at least once in a survival scenario; might bring calm to a volatile period.
9 Gary Rowett - Has been brought in for late-season survival pushes. Could offer immediate impact.
10 Danny Rohl - A more modern, less proven choice, but recent survival success could make him interesting.
