It was Norwich City's third campaign in the Premier League since achieving promotion during the 2010–11 season and was their 24th season in the top flight of English football. Norwich spent most of the season in the bottom half of the Premier League table, but only in two short periods, in September and October, were they actually in the relegation zone and this is where they slipped back to in the final few matches of the season. They finished the season in eighteenth place in the Premier League and were subsequently relegated to the Championship. Norwich lost in a replay to Fulham in the third round of the FA Cup and to Manchester United in the fourth round of the League Cup. It was a season that saw the sacking of manager Chris Hughton and the appointment of former Norwich player Neil Adams as his replacement with five games left to play. Build up to the season Expectations were high for Norwich after they finished the previous season in 11th position in the league, their highest league finish since 1992–93.Norwich City: History 1975 to date http://www.statto.com/football/teams/norwich-city/history/modern statto 17 May 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140530123206/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/norwich-city/history/modern 30 May 2014 live dmy-all The £13.5 million profit made during the 2011–12 season, and the prospect of becoming debt free, also raised the expectations of the fans with the prospect of significant spending on players over the summer 2013 transfer window.Norwich City finances 2004–2013 http://services.edp24.co.uk/norfolk/pdfs/NCFCaccounts.jpg Archant 17 May 2014 17 May 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140517152814/http://services.edp24.co.uk/norfolk/pdfs/NCFCaccounts.jpg dead Players and club staff Squad Club staff No. Player Pos Playing Position Date of birth (age) Signed from Signed in Apps Appearances Goals 1 John Ruddy 01 GK 1986-10-24 (age 1986 10 24 2014 6 30) Everton 2010 98 0 2 Russell Martin (club captain) 02 RB 1986-01-04 (age 1986 01 04 2014 6 30) Peterborough United 2010joined on loan Nov 2009, permanently signed Jan 2010 n 147 10 3 Steven Whittaker 02 RB 1984-06-16 (age 1984 06 16 2014 6 30) Rangers 2012 14 1 4 Bradley Johnson 06 CM 1987-04-28 (age 1987 04 28 2014 6 30) Leeds United 2011 68 3 5 Sébastien Bassong (captain) 04 CB 1986-07-09 (age 1986 07 09 2014 6 30) Tottenham Hotspur 2012 35 3 6 Michael Turner 04 CB 1983-11-09 (age 1983 11 09 2014 6 30) Sunderland 2012 28 3 7 Robert Snodgrass 07 RW 1987-09-07 (age 1987 09 07 2014 6 30) Leeds United 2012 40 7 8 Jonny Howson 06 CM 1988-05-21 (age 1988 05 21 2014 6 30) Leeds United 2012 44 3 9 Ricky van Wolfswinkel 10 FW 1989-01-27 (age 1989 01 27 2014 6 30) Sporting CP 2013 – – 10 Leroy Fer 06 CM 1990-01-05 (age 1990 01 05 2014 6 30) Twente 2013 – – 11 Gary Hooper 10 FW 1988-02-26 (age 1988 02 26 2014 6 30) Celtic 2013 – – 12 Anthony Pilkington 08 LW 1988-06-06 (age 1988 06 06 2014 6 30) Huddersfield Town 2011 65 13 13 Mark Bunn 01 GK 1984-11-16 (age 1984 11 16 2014 6 30) Blackburn Rovers 2012 26 0 14 Wes Hoolahan 09 CAM 1982-05-20 (age 1982 05 20 2014 6 30) Blackpool 2008 194 35 15 Jonás Gutiérrez 07 RW 1983-07-05 (age 1983 07 05 2014 6 30) Newcastle United (loan) 2014 – – 16 Johan Elmander 10 FW 1981–05–27 (age 1981 05 27 2014 6 30) Galatasaray (loan) 2013 – – 17 Elliott Bennett 07 RW 1988-12-18 (age 1988 12 18 2014 6 30) Brighton & Hove Albion 2011 64 3 18 Javier Garrido 03 LB 1985-03-15 (age 1985 03 15 2014 6 30) Lazio 2013joined on loan Aug 2012, permanently signed May 2013 n 35 0 19 Luciano Becchio 10 FW 1983-12-28 (age 1983 12 28 2014 6 30) Leeds United 2013 8 0 20 Carlo Nash 01 GK 1973-09-13 (age 1973 09 13 2014 6 30) Stoke City 2013 – – 22 Nathan Redmond 08 LW 1994-03-06 (age 1994 03 06 2014 6 30) Birmingham City 2013 – – 23 Martin Olsson 03 LB 1988-05-17 (age 1988 05 17 2014 6 30) Blackburn Rovers 2013 – – 24 Ryan Bennett 04 CB 1990-03-06 (age 1990 03 06 2014 6 30) Peterborough United 2012 28 1 25 David Fox 06 CM 1983-12-13 (age 1983 12 13 2014 6 30) Colchester United 2010 74 1 26 Joseph Yobo 04 CB 1980–09–06 (age 1980 09 06 2014 6 30) Fenerbahçe (loan) 2014 – – 27 Alexander Tettey 05 CDM 1986-04-04 (age 1986 04 04 2014 6 30) Rennes 2012 29 1 31 Josh Murphy 08 LW 1995–02–24 (age 1995 02 24 2014 6 30) Academy (2006) 2013 0 0 Backroom StaffFootball Staff http://www.canaries.co.uk/team/staff-profiles/ Norwich City FC 10 January 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20160426121317/http://www.canaries.co.uk/team/staff-profiles/ 26 April 2016 dead dmy-all Chris Hughton (manager until 6 April 2014) Neil Adams (manager from 6 April 2014) Colin Calderwood (assistant manager until 6 April 2014) Paul Trollope (first-team coach until 6 April 2014) Dave Watson (goalkeeping coach) Ewan Chester (director of football recruitment) Neal Reynolds (head of physiotherapy) Dr. Nick Wiford (team doctor) Board of directorsKey People http://www.canaries.co.uk/club/key_people/ Norwich City FC 10 January 2013 Delia Smith (joint majority shareholder) Michael Wynn-Jones (joint majority shareholder) Alan Bowkett (chairman) Michael Foulger (deputy chairman) David McNally (chief executive) Stephan Phillips (director) Stephen Fry (director) n Apps/goals stats correct up to and including the 2012–13 season Summer transfer window Transfers out Following their 11th-place finish in the 2012–13 Premier League Norwich started their preparations for their third consecutive season in the top flight by releasing ten players in May 2013 including first team players Chris Martin, Simeon Jackson, Elliot Ward and Marc Tierney. Over the course of the summer James Vaughan, Grant Holt, Leon Barnett and Jacob Butterfield were all sold for undisclosed fees. Former Norwich City manager Paul Lambert returned to his former club to sign goalkeeper Jed Steer for his current club Aston Villa but the decision on a fee went to tribunal. During the summer Declan Rudd and Andrew Surman were both loaned out to lower league clubs for the season. During the lower league loan window David Fox and Daniel Ayala were loaned for half of the season.
