Derek Llambias: "I'm delighted to see Chris back in the top flight with Norwich, and no-one under-estimates the job that he did for us during what was a difficult time for the club.
"Our target ahead of our season in the Championship in 2009-10 was always to get back up to the Premier League at the first time of asking, and we were delighted to achieve that aim.
"The spirit that Chris and his team generated within the dressing room played a huge part as we worked towards winning the Championship title.
"Chris was very popular with our fans."
