Anglia TV news interview with Archie Macaulay who has resigned as Manager of Norwich City Football Club.

Anglia Television reporter Newman Sanders interviews Archie Macaulay, asking him why he wants to leave Norwich City Football Club. Macaulay says the decision to resign as manager is in his and the club's best interest. There were other contributory factors which led to his decision to leave but he doesn’t wish to discuss them in detail as it would be unwise of him to do so. When asked how the directors feel about him leaving, Macaulay says the chairmen have expressed their regret. He regrets leaving as Norwich City are a great bunch of players and if they get encouragement they can still get to First Division. He doesn’t know who will take his place but they are taking over the club in a much better position than when he took over. Macaulay ends the interview by talking about the injuries that have disrupted the team’s rhythm, even though he has managed to get some rhythm out of the team.
