Just below them (Birmingham) in the table sit Norwich City, who having kept hold of the majority of players they had wanted to stay after relegation, looked in good shape to spring straight back into the Premier League. But after seven defeats in the last nine dropped them from top to 10th, the Norfolk natives are restless, many turning on the manager, Alex Neil, during their last game, a 2-1 home defeat to Huddersfield. Neil, who does a fine job fronting up, admitting his and their failings, could nevertheless be on borrowed time, and if he goes then Rowett would seem a ready replacement. If the football gods have a sense of humour, Rowett leading Norwich to a play-off final against Birmingham would raise a smile.
