When you look at the foot of the current Championship standings, you will find Norwich City, once East Anglia's pride along with the region's other big side Ipswich Town, languishing at the wrong end of the table.
The City and Town, who hail from Suffolk, had their first derby of the season in Carrow Road earlier this month and the spoils were shared in a 2-2 draw.
Although these are still early days, Norwich must start addressing their position not to find themselves in the third tier of the English game for the first time since the 1930s.
In 1920, Norwich became original members of Division III and a year later moved to Division III South. In 1933-34 they won the championship to go up to Division II but in 1938-39 they were relegated to the third echelon.
In 2004-05, Norwich were members of the FA Premier League under the management of Nigel Worthington. Yet, they were relegated that same season when they finished in 19th place.
Some members of the board panicked after a series of negative results and dismissed Worthington on October 2, 2006.
Since then, four managers have been appointed, two of them on a temporary basis. These are: Martin Hunter, Peter Grant, Jimmy Duffy and now ex-Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder.
Roeder has to get rid of the dead wood at Carrow Road and give the squad a more youthful look. Since the sacking of Worthington, attendances fell miserably as results were not attained.
Some fans had urged the club to sack Worthington. Now, they must also share the blame for the position the Canaries have found themselves in.
Grant was not the complete manager the fans had hoped for and Hunter and Duffy were only there to fill the hot seat temporarily. Before Roeder, the board were hopeful of appointing Paul Jewell, ex-Wigan.
The manager
Glenn Roeder was born in Essex on December 13, 1955. As a footballer, he chalked up 574 appearances and went on to earn seven England 'B' caps.
He started with Leyton Orient in 1973 and soon became a classy ball playing central defender. He stayed with the O's till 1978 and then made the following stops:
1978-1983: Queens Park Rangers.
1983: On loan at Notts County.
1983-89: Newcastle United (he became Paul Gascoigne's mentor as they remained great friends).
1989-92: Watford.
1992: Leyton Orient.
1992-93: Gillingham.
Roeder hung up his boots at Priestfield Stadium where he played in only six matches and was given the managerial job that lasted one season, leaving for Watford to fill the vacancy made up by the departure of Steve Perryman.
In his three-year spell at Vicarage Road, Roeder almost led the Hornets to the play-offs in his second campaign but was sacked in 1996 as the club struggled at the bottom end of the classification.
After a short stint with Burnley, as assistant to Chris Waddle, he found himself in the England camp.
When Glenn Hoddle became England's head coach he employed Roeder to form part of his coaching staff. He then moved on to West Ham in 2001, acting as assistant and was then appointed manager in the summer of 2001.
In his first season, Roeder tended players like Joe Cole and Michael Carrick (and later Jermaine Defoe) and the Hammers finished a creditable seventh in the Premiership.
After relegation to the Championship, he was shown the back door in 2003. In the meantime, he succeeded in winning his biggest battle against a brain tumour.
Roeder found himself without a club for two years and after he settled in as a youth-development manager at Newcastle, he was appointed boss following the dismissal of Graeme Souness in February 2006.
In Roeder's first year, Newcastle finished seventh and earned a UEFA Cup place via the Intertoto Cup.
Roeder was never backed with the cash and his only decent signing was Damien Duff from Chelsea. Later, he also signed another good prospect in striker Obafemi Martins but that was too late for him to save his job.
After a negative run of one win in ten outings at St James's Park, Roeder resigned on May 6, 2007.
