bob.eastick@yahoo.ca 5 Posted October 30, 2023 It is rumoured that after his departure and his planned mountaineering exploits Webber will be looking for a new appointment. The names of Leeds and Rangers have surfaced as clubs with some interest. I do wonder just how enthused Daniel Varke would be at Leeds were that to materialize. Varke is by nature a very diplomatic man and I am sure he would not be disparaging in any way but one wonders what his real sentiment might be. I have no doubt if Rangers were to land his services in Scotland, just how enthralled the ex Norwich player Todd Cantwell would be at the prospect of a reunion with someone who he has made very clear was from his perspective the major reason for his own demise with the Canaries. Webber would be best suited with a club at the level of league 1 or 2, or a non league team where he can apply without difficulty his farm club mentality and his accounting prowess. It takes much more than a bean counter to empower any organisation to ongoing success, and in professional soccer that is very much the case. Of course financial responsibility has to be maintained but there also has to be the vision and the awareness of how and when to manage the situation to advance and maintain success at the next level when you get there. Failure to do that and it is inevitable you will rapidly slide back to from whence you came, and possibly worse. One can only hope that the Canaries can look forward to a more positive long term future which will involve the vision and the courage to invest in a team, expanding its established strength as opposed to selling off its talent as soon as it becomes a viable asset to satisfy the accounting objectives.

dylanisabaddog 5,062 Posted October 30, 2023 I'm a bit baffled by this. Webber has no financial qualifications and has never been employed in a financial role at Norwich City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Webber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,503 Posted October 30, 2023 More importantly Webber, if we can rely on his public spoutings, has said his next job will not be in football. I think he fancies Toto Wolf's job at Mercedes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 322 Posted October 30, 2023 Feel his record will count against him. However a glowing reference from Delia would be the kiss of death. Don't really think he is suitable for another role in football his attitude for the clubs supporters oughyt to rule him out. The factor that he is still here is indicative of the opportunities he has been offered. If he had been given offers would have been off like a shot. Only staying here to siphon off more money from this strapped club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How could anybody rely on what he says, he is atosser## and I cant wait for him to get gone. the way some talk about this useless **** , you would think he had some talent. He fed off other people, get back to being a groundsman. Edited October 30, 2023 by Mengo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. Farke and not Varke (German name after all) but to your credit at least you understood without difficulty who it was and you did not tale issue with the balance of the commentary.

Capt. Pants 4,331 Posted November 3, 2023 On 30/10/2023 at 19:47, For the future said: Going to Leeds Not til next season I hope. I think we need to be a bit careful once Knapper arrives how much is divulged to Webber if there is a likelihood he joins a rival. This also presents a potential conflict of interests with regards to Zoe staying on. One of the reasons I'm not overly impressed with this handover period.

Be an interesting appointment for them, maybe he could loan us a few of their players to rebuild their form and confidence. We would probably take Casemiro, Rashford, Martial, Mctominay and McGuire . lol 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,493 Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) If “failing up” wasn’t such a thing, particularly in football, Stuart Webber would revert to his natural level. Team Leader at Card Warehouse.
