Norwich City chairman Ed Balls has revealed that he felt as though the club let its fans down last season with the relegation back down to the Championship.
Balls, as quoted by BT Sport, reflected upon his past year that has included a whole host of interesting aspects, with the most recent one being him starring on the BBC’s popular television show Strictly Come Dancing.
Politics aside, my biggest disappointment was my football team Norwich City being relegated from the Premier League. I am the club chairman and we all felt we let our supporters down.
The former MP and Shadow Chancellor lasted quite a while in the dancing competition, much to the surprise of Norwich fans and the general public alike, being eventually voted off the competition in the tenth week.
Balls’ admission that he felt as though the club let the fans down was an accurate representation of how The Canaries’ fanbase felt at large, with a disappointing Premier League campaign under Alex Neil in 2015/16 seeing them fall back down to the second tier of English football.
The 49-year-old will hope that his club can bounce back to the Premier League next year but they will need to improve upon their recent form.
