Sounds like the stress and anxiety of the job has got to him.
Agree. It may well be that he has found out, the hard way, that he just isn't cut out for the top job. If so, good on him for recognising it and stepping back into a support role for which he is better suited.
Live in Norwich and it seems he had it coming for a while and as previously stated, following the Charlton game in particular. They have a phone in on Radio Norfolk (no, not Alan Partridge!) directly after each game. If you ever want cheering up have a listen - it's absolutely priceless! The presenter recently stated that John Ruddy was the best English keeper currently plying his trade in any league in England!! As for some of the callers - it's one of the reasons why I love living here!! Funny as!!

Love listening to the phone in. Some blinding comments. I remember a couple of years ago when Neil Adams was on the phone - in some old boy said. I think Eeeewan Rooberts should be playing on the wing. To which Adams calmly pointed out to the bloke that Ewan was best employed in the middle scoring goals. Very entertaining.
Surprising when you have Phelan "line up" in the club already. They're obviously hoping for another Paul Lambert, though Lambert had a far great playing pedigree
Considerable consternation across Norfolk today. This email from my Norwich City nut of a brother in law. "A question that is being asked across city and county this afternoon. If someone hadn’t come up with the line before. I would have described him as ‘not even a household name in his own household!’. Would be a very brave appointment but, in many ways, so was Lambert".

Lambert was successfully managing a club in the same part of the world and same division as Norwich, that had just beaten them 7-1, so was far less of a risk. And a former Champions league winner
Daren Eadie former Norwich City winger said that Lambert was respected by the players because he had won a Champions medal. Loads saying they prefer Neil Warnock in the short term or Karl Robinson long term.
Hamilton Academical manager Alex Neil has called a meeting with the players to inform them he is leaving to become Norwich manager, according to Sky sources.

Neil is 33 and has been very successful in Scotland .. could he emulate Eddie Howe in the 'boy wonder' stakes ? .. However, Neil has been at Hamilton as player/player manager for nigh on 10 years, he will know the 'Accies' inside and out .. he is taking a huge step in taking on a big club with very high expectations

Sounds very similar to when Eddie Howe left Bournemouth for Burnley...

it does indeed .. perhaps he'll be back at Hammy soon (presuming he ever leaves in the first place) and will get them into Europe ((:>)
I can agree that playing at the top level, winning the champions league etc will earn the players respect but it doesn't mean they will be a successful manager. Look at Roy Keane, Tony Adams, Paul Ince.
