    Look at Mike Walker - got us to 3rd in the PL and the 3rd round of the UEFA cup in his first spell, was brought back a few years later in the hope he could get us back up to the PL and didn’t get us anywhere near it

    Walker inherited the team Dave Stringer worked very hard to produce.

    I think that swapping Gibbo for AO would resolve the obvious defensive issues, but in attack I'd still like to see [Tzolis, Pukki, Rachica] as a trio together because the pace and skill would likely rip most teams apart.

    Therefore I think what would work best would be:

    --------------------Krul-----------------

    ----Kabak -- Hanley -- AO----

    Max--PLM--Normann--Dimi

    ----Tzolis--Pukki--Rachica---

    How about replace the away team bench with a bus stop. Nothing more uncomfortable than a bus stop bench 

    LEGO is. Perhaps it needs pieces of LEGO glued in random spots on the bench and on the floor for when they're not wearing boots.

    He never played DM for Bournemouth though, and was usually deployed in a two man midfield in Eddie Howe's 4--4-2. I think he could get exposed in that position more than in a 3 man midfield.

    I don't think Norwich are necessarily signing him as a defensive midfielder, that looks like it will be Gilmour - but if you have Billing next to PLM/McLean you suddenly have a really hard working duo who'll cover a ton of ground and be able to go both forwards and backwards depending on the game state. What happens if Gilmour is injured is the question, but both PLM and Billing have experience in that DM role. 

    That is a good shout actually, he is an excellent passer of the ball and has the positional intelligence to do it also. 

    I haven't seen enough of them to comment, but how similar are Billing and PLM to Kante in style? I'm asking because if performing well alongside Kante won Golmour accolades, it would make sense to do something similar, and may be what they are going for?

    Norwich is an increasingly diverse city yet our fanbase is still incredably white (like seriously, don't season food correctly white). Why is this and why aren't the club (or it's fanbase) doing anything about it?  I'd suggest advertising in mosques, predominantly black churches and in schools.

    The reason the fanbase is 'still incredably white' is because the local population is 96.5% white (Norfolk-wide). Norwich City FC are predominantly supported by locals or former locals who have moved away.

    Do you know how many mosques are in Norfolk, how many people who attend mosques are interested in supporting Norwich City or even in the sport? According the the stats, around 5,000 people who identify as Muslim live in Norfolk, so the size of the population pool is extremely small. I could be completely wrong, but I suspect there wouldn't be a huge amount of people to engage with within this demographic.

    Do you know how many 'predominantly black churches' there are in Norfolk? I'd wager not too many based on the population proportion of a) black people and b) people who go to church.

    With this in mind, what proportion of resources is it worth the club aiming at (probably) such a small level of any kind of return?

    Very, very nicely done. Looks like it took a lot of work

     

    Thank you. This was quite a few hours in the making but I am very happy with the result.

    I hope that others gain as much enjoyment out of it as I gained through making it.

    I have quite enjoyed being able to see the bigger picture of the development the club has made through this process. Also the interesting little facts discovered along the way, such as being the second club to win the League Cup (whilst being in the second division), having a player score 37 goals in a season back in the 60's and seeing that Dave Stringer probably built the most successful team in the history of the club (this was the foundation for Mike Walker's third place side that conquered Munich in Germany).

    What tool did you use to map the positions creating the wave lines? 

    The whole infographic was made using Adobe Illustrator and each element was individually made. The lines in the sankey diagram were 10pt in width before I expanded them. Making the sankey was a bit fiddly but wasn't too bad to make once I knew what was going where. Mapping the positions was all done manually. The parts which took the longest to make were the illustrations for the key stakeholders and Captain Canary.

    @Graham Paddons Beard and @Crafty Canary

    I just wanted to say thanks for your help again. It helped give me some really useful information.

    I finished my infographic last week and I'm reasonably happy with it. 

    The main graphs include a sankey chart dividing each season into finishing position by quadrant (I divided each league into quarters), which you can filter by manager and chairman. I flanked the sankey with a bar graph at each end showing cup data at one end and top scorers of each season at the other. 

    On the left and right edges I have graphic visualisations for information such as key stakeholders, top transfers and celebrity fans.

    I emailed it to the club just before the weekend (wasn't really sure who to send it to though). I'm going to wait a few more days and then I may share it on here.
