Good morning everyone,

It's a big day in the history of Norwich City, as Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones wake up for the first time in nearly 30 years without being members of the club's board.

In the day-to-day that will mean little change to how the Canaries operate, but officially the changing of the ownership guard is just months away now.

The takeover of Mark Attanasio's Norfolk Holdings group was confirmed for March when shareholders voted on it in last night's EGM, with the result confirmed quickly and what we understand to have been a large majority voting in favour.

Elsewhere at Carrow Road Johannes Hoff Thorup and Glen Riddersholm were meeting supporters at the Fans Social Club's Q&A session, and we were lucky enough to chat with the assistant head coach, as well as host Darren Eadie, afterwards.

More of that to come as the week unfolds, but in the meantime there's some other big news to discuss. It's not exactly a surprise, but Jack Wilshere's appointment as first-team coach was officially confirmed yesterday.

We've got all the key details and quotes from the man himself across our channels, so head to the app and you'll be fully clued in on everything you need to know about that one.

Chris Sutton's latest subscriber-exclusive column discusses Smith and Wynn Jones stepping down from the board, with his view being that it's the right time.

Then there's Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom, who in his very interesting post-match press call on Tuesday explained how his team exploited City's weaknesses. That's available to read now, along with Thorup's praise for the travelling support and David Hannant's latest Fan Zone piece.

That's plenty to be going on with on another busy day in the yellow and green world, so I'll leave you to get stuck into it. Catch up with you again tomorrow, when we'll start to look ahead to the meeting with Middlesbrough. Have a great day!

Newsletter exclusive: Fassnacht's future in the balance

Recent reports from Switzerland have suggested that Christian Fassnacht has been in talks with former club Young Boys over a potential return.

Here's Thorup on whether there could be anything in those reports, exclusively for readers of this newsletter.

"I think to be fair to him we have to look at the situation. It’s also what his desire is, where he wants to go. First and foremost it’s for him to get back and be ready, and then everyone gets a feeling of how close he is.

"Can he really compete? Can he get minutes? Can he be in the starting 11? We have to find out, and he will find out as well.

"Of course, when he finds out after a couple of games whether he’s in or not in, that decision will be a little bit more easy for him to take.

"It’s so much a future thing for us. We have to decide a couple of months from now, because obviously he’s not in with the group. So I actually have no idea how close he can get to the team."
