Norwich City legend Iwan Roberts has said the club's poor performances over Easter were behind the decision to sack their manager.
The former club skipper made the comment following news Johannes Hoff Thorup had been dismissed by the Canaries.
Talking on a BBC Radio Norfolk Canary Call special, Roberts said he had feared for the 36-year-old manager's future after the team shipped five goals during the Good Friday home loss against Portsmouth.
"That's a sackable offence - conceding five goals against a team that had scored seven in their previous 12 games," Roberts said he told himself straight after the game.
