How Embarrassing Was That For Webber Yesterday ?

[TIL 1010 5,232]

Farke acted with sheer class throughout the entire afternoon from the moment he stepped out of the tunnel to take his place in the away dugout to applause from all parts of the ground to refusing to celebrate Leeds 3rd goal as his backroom staff were going ballistic by quietly sitting down. Then at the end he walked over to the Leeds fans and when they were expecting his usual after a win celebration his body language was telling them today is not the day guys and gals. The walk around the pitch applauding all four stands was his goodbye that he never got to have before walking down the tunnel. Hard to remember seeing so many Norwich fans staying behind after a defeat to witness it except of course the directors box bar Tom Smith and the Leeds occupants.

The man showed more respect to Norwich and its fans in 10 minutes than Webber has done in about 6 years.

You seem to be under the impression that Webber cares about either us, the club or any fans. I get the feeling he really does not care about anything.

 

Well, other than mountain climbing maybe

Wouldnt have thought he's bothered anymore...when the new man arrives in a couple of weeks he'll have his eye firmly on the exit door, going through the motions , counting the weeks down

Webber simply doesn’t, and never has had any interest in Norwich City, we were always a stepping stone for him……..now turning to a stepping stone to nowhere

[Robert N. LiM 6,196]

Had to leave on the whistle yesterday, sorry not to be able to give Daniel a clap. Agree that he behaved with real class yesterday, not that any of us expected any different.

But I would have thought the classy thing to do in response would be simply to respect his behaviour, not use it as a stick to beat Webber. You wouldn't see Farke doing that.

[The Real Buh 3,757]

The fact he’s still here. Still hanging on by his fingernails to do the maximum damage possible before he finally leaves, even leaving his wife behind to continue the damage. It’s just beyond the pale.

Its a twilight zone episode. The absolute state of it.

Problem is him and his wife for some unknown reason have the BOD by the balls

I suspect it’s some sort of severance pay issue 

I know, for a fact, she’s never worked a day in her life. Absolutely useless and a failure just like her husband.

You describe the scene well. I was wondering what happened after the match.

Fair enough but by sacking Farke Webber was basically putting the blame for a lot of his own failings onto the manager.

We are all aware of the financial restraints that both had to deal with in equal portions, but there was a bit more to it than that.

Many of us would have preferred Stuart Webber gone than Daniel Farke.

The barclay sang,  one Daniel farke , were we bad ? 

[Samwam27 601]

Webber doesnt care as he's already leaving. It did show how professional Farke is, and we'll never know whether we'd have been better off sticking with him, but we're going backwards atm and hopefully Knapper will be strong enough to make changes ifthe poor results continue. BUT that needs to be without Webber included.in any capacity

She's running the place. Has had Delia and co in her pocket for a long while.

Knapp needs to not only fire her but make it very messy and public as a message

[norfolkngood 1,172]

i would rather Webber left Knapper has a mass of staff to call on with Neil Adams as well to show him the ropes 

[sgncfc 1,330]

Webber is a Leeds fan. It was a perfect day for him.

[Midlands Yellow 4,682]

Farke’s a gent and Webber’s a narcissist, that’s been obvious for quite a while. 

[Thirsty Lizard 3,214]

Just wondering who it was who appointed Farke in the first place when none of us had ever heard of him?

RUNNING THE PLACE , I think you had a bad typo error. Should it not have been  RUINING. I would say that's more accurate surely.  The bonnie and clyde foundation. Charlatans.

It was Webber and he was a fantastic appointment ,

But if you judge him on Farke you have to judge him on Smith and Wagner 

[hogesar 10,708]

I'm not sure Webber is bothered what divorcees in the snakepit think of him... 

Farke was classy though you'd expect nothing less. I guess he didn't read the same fans view of him at multiple times throughout his tenure 😉

Don’t spoil it for them, hindsight seems to have erased the 3-4 campaigns to get rid of him from their memory.  Weird thing is, I never did side with them, but don’t feel the need to go on about him like some favourite uncle.

Imagine still supporting Webber, the pure cringe.

Yes Tilly has. It was a nice moment, if that's the right word.

Must admit I also felt sad, guilty for ever wanting him gone, furious at Webber for the shambles he's left us in.

Cannot wait for him to be gone. I just hope he doesn't try to taint or influence Knapper. In fact I don't know why Adams can't do the handover.

If Knappers entire SD career is influenced by a month with Webber then he isn't really cut out for the job anyway.

I dont "support" any Sporting Director they're well paid employees just as Knapper will be. If Knapper delivers two championship titles I won't be on here saying he's clueless two seasons after, pretending that I know more.

I'll leave that to you, you do it so well.

Webbers got no legacy, nobody will remember “his” titles that “he won”(what did he do?) everyone will remember him for slating his own fans and leaving a failure and that’s the correct opinion. I want him marked professionally so it affects the next job he manages to con his way into.

The fact you can’t even admit you have and still do support him, it’s just genuinely pathetic. Reminds me of all those who supported Dean Smith way too long (“I don’t support a manager, I support the club”) it’s all just mealy mouth stuff.

Weird isn’t it - I’ve never actually liked Webber, never got the initial love-in for him when everyone seemed to be fawning over every word. But he appeared to do a decent job for a time…now everyone seems to be revisiting even that.
I’ve said before and will say again, I’m a supporter of NCFC and have never particularly considered myself a supporter of specific people within it.  The concept is bizarre. I don’t ‘support’ Wagner, I didn’t ‘support’ Farke, Smith, Brown, Walker or any others.  
Edit: Perhaps someone should produce a list of who it is ok to support and who we should boo, and let us know when it swaps over?

Fans views on social media,  or fans views?  I am fairly confident he knew what most fans thought not a few on social media. I am sure he didn't judge us all on a few youngsters who didn't understand that a mid championship team with no money and sold all the best players throughout his management , would compet in the premier league team.
