Dear Paul ‘The pen is always mightier than the sword’ As such, we write to you regarding the shocking news of your resignation earlier today, and the ongoing talks regarding the vacant managers position at Aston Villa FC. As long-standing Norwich fans, we believe that only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, and as a consequence would urge you to reconsider your imminent movements remembering that fools rush in where angels fear to tread, and ask yourself, ‘why have so many managers tried and failed’ making a success of the club you envisage joining. In fact, we could all see it coming given your disloyal treatment of previous clubs, I suppose a leopard really can’t change his spots. It must be admitted, we have always admired your tactful treatment of the ever-eager English media, but you seem to be ignoring the glaringly obvious truth that a rolling stone gathers no moss, and where you no longer exist, the club seeks to build on its impressive recent success – no one is bigger than Norwich City football club which will continue to stand on the shoulders of giants. We will never forget the three glorious seasons you created, absence will always make the heart grow fonder, and in years to come, we more than expect to see you back at Carrow Road, once again leading the squad to unrivalled success in the English Premier League and beyond. ‘Pride comes before a fall’ In short, don’t go. Yours, Phully (aged 5), Thlippyy (Dutch, aged 7) and Pete (aged 32) P.s. All walls have ears and every dog has it’s day – also, two fat ladies are eighty eight and bread always lands butter side down
