Attanasio wants Norwich in top flight in five years

The new owner of Norwich City says he will "feel like I failed" if the club do not return to the Premier League within five years.

Mark Attanasio became the majority shareholder of the Canaries last month, replacing Delia Smith and her husband Michael Wynn Jones.

In an interview with BBC Look East following the club's AGM, he admitted it would be hard to return to the top flight and that everybody "has to be rowing in the same direction".

Mr Attanasio, who also owns the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, first joined the board in 2022 after his company, Norfolk FB Holdings, acquired a 15.9% stake in the club.
