Norwich are set for another season of mediocrity, at least according to the bookmakers.
City are a best price 20-1 with Stan James to land the Championship title four years on from their 2004 triumph. Betfair's odds are as long as 39-1.
The upshot of the numbers is that Peter Grant is unfancied to lead his team to even a top half finish, with 15th the predicted position. Of course, spending and pre-season form could see the odds improve or indeed worsen prior to the big kick off in August.
