If you take an attitude of just agreeing to everything then your budget won't go far. You can criticise the outcomes, but the methodology is a necessity on our finances. The fact that he not only commands the confidence of the club's board, but has set the club up to attract credible investment to address this really should answer any ideas that there's an easy fix to be had by getting rid of Webber. And let's face it: The same people who push this as the easy fix were pushing a change of manager as the easy fix months back; nobody succeeds through flailing mindlessly. I agree entirely, I don't want Webber gone, I just don't think he's doing a great job at the minute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do we know he sought out the current new investors or was it a general quest through sources or an agency? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is probably a lot of people’s view, it’s just getting lost between the people who have already firmly made their mind up that he needs to go and those defending him to the point of absurdity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This wanting people sacked seems a constant theme these days. Which is why I ask if there was any point in sacking Smith. You would hope that change would have calmed things down. Unless it wasn't the change people wanted. Is 'our lot' really that bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This pretty much sums it up. I don't want him gone, but his 'form' is awful and he has to turn it around soon-ish. By soon-ish I mean by the end of next season.

Chichcan 148 Posted February 14, 2023 I don't think we should fire him, but he is on a yearly rolling contract until June and I think we should be looking at someone new then I think he's done well, but 6 years is a long time and we need a fresh face with new ideas to build on what he's done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that what it means? I wasn't sure, but looking at the Athletic article here https://theathletic.com/4184890/2021/11/25/norwich-sporting-director-stuart-webber-agrees-new-contract-at-club/ It says "Webber and Norwich's board will now review his situation each summer before committing to the following year." I took that to mean they could decide to not renew it this summer and he'd be off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
