Despite no official approach reportedly being made Mark Hughes’ Blackburn Rovers assistant Mark Bowen continues to be linked with the vacancy with Norwich City.

Hughes is said to be very keen to retain the services of his former Welsh International team mate, confidant, and highly respected assistant manager. Bowen, who made 299 appearances for the club during his nine years with them, is the bookies’ favourite at 9/4.

Iwan Roberts, a former team mate of Bowen’s at Carrow Road and also International team mate to Bowen, as well as Hughes sees Bowen as an ideal candidate, even if this hinders his own prospects of landing the job, he said:

Mark is a class act.

Singing his praises might do down my own chances, but wherever Mark Hughes has gone as a manager, Mark Bowen has usually been his first signing – that tells you everything.”

Rovers chairman John Williams on the other hand has no intention on letting Bowen leave Ewood Park, stating now approach has yet been made, nor is he inviting any:

As far as I’m concerned we have no intention of letting Mark Bowen go anywhere.

We want him to stay and I’m pleased to report that we’ve had no contact from Norwich, which wouldn’t be welcome anyway.”
