If I was Robert Chase

( the last dictator at Norwich) I would:-

a) Ask Worthington to resign and offer him a years salary payable monthly reduced over the year by any salary he recieves from a new club. I would sell it to him by saying " You`ve done a great job but the fans and the Board feel that the time is ripe for you to move onto a new challenge. You cant be getting any job satisfaction seeing your players underperforming week in , week out and realising that you have lost them. Leave now with your reputation intact" and then offer him the financial deal. If he refuses sack him.
b) Promote David Williams from youth team manager on a caretaker basis. Say to him " The Board and the fans realise that the season is over in terms of promotion. You are caretaker for the rest of the season. Your only brief is to get the players playing for you ,playing in a style that is pleasing and where they are encouraged to express themselves. Get them back their confidence. At the end of the season we will be looking for a long term successor . If you meet these objectives and succeed in terms of results you will be in the frame for the job long term if you want it. " Ask him whether he would prefer Foley or Livermore as his assistant . Increase William`s salary to give him 50% more than his assistant.
3. Redoply who Williams does not want to be youth team manager. Sell it on the basis that you see them as the best person to develop the youth team squad. If they dont like it sack them and settle any claims based on appropriate legal advice.

Delia , Michael and Neil - " Make it happen ".
