After years of mid-table mediocrity, Manning succeeded where many previous Bristol City managers have failed in guiding them to the Championship play-offs this season, so it is easy to see why he is attracting attention from elsewhere.
Norwich will be looking to mount a promotion push next term after a disappointing 13th-placed finish this season, so Manning would certainly fit the bill for the Canaries, and the fact that he was born in the city and is a former Carrow Road season ticket holder only adds further fuel to the rumours.
However, Manning has a strong connection with Robins supporters, and there is a solid platform for him to build on at Ashton Gate, so it would be a surprise to see him walk away from the club, particularly given that he has already spoken about his plans for next season.
