Ambition Unveiled
Norwich City's head coach Philippe Clement has expressed his ambition for the upcoming season, aiming to finish in the top eight in the Championship. The team has made a positive start, with 63 goals scored and 56 conceded, leaving them 30 points behind leaders Coventry.
What Comes Next?
Clement's comments come as the team prepares for the new season, with the head coach emphasizing the importance of staying focused and working together as a team. The team has been working hard in pre-season, with Clement stating that the hard work will pay off in the upcoming nine months.
Philippe Clement's Thoughts
Clement was asked about the team's preparation for life in the Premier League, and whether he thinks it would be able to stay in the top flight for more than one season. He replied, 'Of course, we do think about that and it can be done. That is of course the goal, but it is not easy to do. You need huge resources. That is the goal but first you have to get there.'
Injury Update
The team is currently without Serbian midfielder Mirko Topić, who is still out for a while. Clement stated that Topić will need time to come back to his level, and that the team will need rotation with the relentless schedule of a Championship season.
Season Tickets
The team has seen an attrition of season-ticket holders, with around 1,000 to 1,500 not renewing. Zoe Webber stated that it's essential to make season tickets affordable, and that the team is working to balance this with the need to generate revenue.
Looking Ahead
Clement emphasized the importance of staying focused and working together as a team. He stated that the team will need to be realistic about their ambitions, but that he believes in the qualities of the squad. The team will need to take it one game at a time and work towards their goal of finishing in the top eight.
