Breaking News: Norwich Appoint Brewer
Norwich City have appointed manager Andrew Brewer just three days after the sacking of Chris Hughton, BBC Sport understands.
It comes as quite a shock in the football world because Brewer has never played at a level higher than the Sunday-League and has no experience as a manager. Thousands of Norwich fans have been piling up outside Carrow Road venting their anger because they, like most others, were expecting an experienced head to come in and takeover.
Our reporter Ben Wood has met up with Andrew Brewer and he has asked him a few questions:

Our reporter Ben Wood has met up with Andrew Brewer and he has asked him a few questions:
Wood: So, Andrew, it is a pleasure to meet you. Were you shocked when Norwich told you they were considering appointing you as the Head Coach?
Brewer: Of course I was. Like everybody else I thought they would go for somebody who has been there and done it, not a young, inexperienced coach like me. But if I thought that I had no chance of getting the job I wouldn't have submitted my application.
Brewer: Of course I was. Like everybody else I thought they would go for somebody who has been there and done it, not a young, inexperienced coach like me. But if I thought that I had no chance of getting the job I wouldn't have submitted my application.
Wood: Fair enough! Obviously Norwich sacked Chris Hughton last week but before he was fired, Chris had brought in seven new faces. Are the new players in your plans and are you thinking of strengthening this Norwich side even more?
Brewer: The players that Chris had brought in will definitely be part of my plans if they impress me in training. If they were not good enough for my team then Chris would never have even thought about signing them. Also, I am most likely going to be adding a few more players before the window ends in two months time and there are three or four players that I am thinking of selling aswell.
Wood: Can you give me any names of the players you want to buy?
Brewer: Well, I wouldn't usually but I will tell you one player. I would be ecstatic if we could bring in that Messi bloke from Barcelona!
Wood: Ha-ha well you do have a sense of humor don't you! Finally, now former captain Grant Holt has gone to Wigan who will be the new captain?
Brewer: Sebastien Bassong will now be Norwich City's captain with Russell Martin as the vice-captain.
