Thanks @shefcanary

That is very impressive. I'd be happy to see him at Carrow Road in any capacity.

No idea if this is true but he has an impressive CV

It's a very reliable source, don't know who the second candidate is, but would be very happy with him.

This is an interesting conversation with him on the Training Ground Guru Podcast:

Sounds very considered, empathetic and importantly successful in his current role. Interesting to see how that translates to the role here if it comes to fruition. That said I'm skeptical that would be a move that would happen.

I'd be very surprised if he didn't take it if offered. I suspect it would be a huge jump in salary

Nick Cox was rumoured to be one of the final two candidates a few weeks ago along with former City player, NFL kicker or whatever they're called, and latterly CEO of Bristol City until his sudden resignation, Phil Akexander.
