Chris Hughton has been sacked as Norwich manager.

With the Liverpool game coming up Delia is desperate to avoid another thrashing:

Chris Hughton: Norwich sack manager and appoint Neil Adams

Norwich have sacked manager Chris Hughton and replaced him with youth coach Neil Adams.

The Canaries were beaten 1-0 by West Brom on Saturday and are five points clear of the relegation zone with five games remaining.

They are still to play Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

A Norwich statement said:  "The decision has been taken to give the club the maximum chance of survival."

Former Newcastle and Birmingham boss Hughton, 55, guided the Canaries to 11th in the Premier League last season.

But they have lost four of their last six league games and have scored just 26 goals all season despite spending heavily on Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Gary Hooper and Johan Elmander in the summer.

Adams, 48, has no first-team managerial experience but he did lead Norwich to to win the FA Youth Cup success against Chelsea last season.
He said: "People know what this club means to me, and so it goes without saying that we will be doing everything possible to ensure that we maintain our top-flight status for next season.

"These final five games will be a huge test for us, and everyone must step up to the mark. But with the full backing of these magnificent Norwich supporters we will have every chance of achieving our objective."

Seems a nice man,wish him all the best, next job Spurs? Lets hope so.

Nonsense decision with 5 games remaining. Hope we tank them

Nonsense decision with 5 games remaining. Hope suarez tanks them again

Corrected it for you !

Idiots what's the point sacking him at this stage of the season!

At least guarantees Suarez a hat full.

Seems a crazy time to sack a manager

It's surprising indeed. And yet, it's not that surprising paradoxically.

 A little bit of  instability with them is good now   especially when we get to play them soon .

Hope they get relegated now pure fooking stupidity with 5 games to go

The games gone mad

They have just about the worst squad in the league, personally think he's done ok... Poor decision really

I agree.

Some very wierd decisions this season by the lower clubs in the league.

5 points clear of relegation.
5 games to go.

Fulham
Liverpool
Man Utd
Chelsea
Arsenal

Hard to see any of the 3 below going on a winning run, but Norwich are going to need that 5 point cushion for the last 4 games.

Daft decision at such a crucial stage for them.

The threat of the axe has been hanging over Hughton from earlier in the season.

Should of sacked him earlier. Now is just stupid.

Does seem a nice fella, haven't seen him speak ill of anyone either. Best of luck, Chris.

Bizarre decision to sack with only 5 games to go. Malky Mackay,Neil Lennon and Tim Sherwood are the top 3 favourites with paddy power.

Who would want to come in now with the fixtures they have left? Crazy call at this stage

And can I add he supporter who thrrew the clapper at him and hit him in the head is a complete c**t

I'm sure Birmingham FC would take Hughton back, fine well for them whilst in charge.

I would, the amount I'd be paid would see the mortgage off, a nice little nest egg, and all the Mustard I could eat.

I don't think anyone bot the Norwich board think this was a good idea.
