Midlands Yellow 3,975 Posted January 23, 2020 I just can’t imagine Delia and Michael having a brain storming session around the breakfast table on the way for Norwich to go forward. Ed Balls perhaps ? Is anyone in the know on how it happened ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The owners brought him in. Because they are the decision makers and the paymasters. Ed Balls may have suggested him, Webber may have suggested himself when he heard we were looking for a Sporting Director. However, the owners are still the people who brought him to Norwich.

Comolli is certainly on record as having told Balls the way to go was with a sporting director and head coach. And since Comolli and Webber overlapped for about two years at Liverpool I would say it is highly likely Comolli recommended Webber, if he could be prised away from Huddersfield. But ultimately it is the owners who oversee all decisions, which included approving the idea of a sporting director and getting Balls in as a hands-on chairman who did the spade work by talking to the likes of Comolli at various clubs to see how to make the model work.
