Norwich board back Alex Neil for now, but demand improvement from team

Norwich chief executive Jez Moxey says the club are not about to sack manager Alex Neil but insists results must quickly improve.

The Canaries were among preseason promotion favourites in the Sky Bet Championship, following their relegation from the Premier League.

However, despite a promising start, a run of eight defeats from the last 10 matches has left Norwich in 12th place, already 16 points behind second-placed Newcastle who also came down from the top flight.

There have been calls from fans for the Norfolk club to remove the 35-year-old Scot, who took the Canaries up via the Championship playoff final in May 2015.
