The last of the 07/08 Championship winning players has now gone.
Over the last nine and a half seasons, it has been a fantastic time for the club and the fans. There's been periods when the team have been poor and we've all grumbled and shown frustration towards the team, but there has also been the good times, the euphoria of the Championship winning season, the couple of seasons in the SPL, Easter Road last season and the first half of this season. And Sir Alex has been with us through it all.
I have to say though, prior to Billy Reid leaving in 2013, I wanted Alex Neil out the club due to his indiscipline in the 2012/2013 season (three red cards in seventeen). A captain who could not control himself? Should never play for the club again. How wrong I was.
It will be strange not seeing Alex on the pitch, the dugout or stand. From player, captain and finally manager, he's been through it all with us over the years. And I wish him well in his new job and hope he brings in a feel good factor to Norwich.
Alex, I thank you for your service to the club and wish you all the best for the future. Leaving as a legend who will be missed by all, but would be welcomed back at any time.
