Which begs the question why they bothered to even announce the handover period if it was that likely to change purely down to on-field pressures. Would have saved a lot of mouth-frothing from fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have saved a lot of mouth-frothing from fans Because they've been forced into a change of plan by the situation on and off the pitch. I bet the current ownership would still have liked him to stick around but his very presence is generating toxicity and they've belatedly realised Knapper needs every advantage they can give him, meaning as few distractions as possible. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well exactly, but my point is, if the plan is subject to pressure situations on the pitch then it was stupid to even announce the handover period, fans didn't need to know until it happened anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,398 Posted November 7, 2023 I'm almost certain my thoughts yesterday will come to pass now, Wagner is essentially working a weeks notice and will depart with Webber after Cardiff. Tell you what though, not sure this Knapper is cut out for the role if he's willing to give up his holiday so easily!

I'd suggest it is a fairly clear indicator of how out of touch the club is with regards to the fans and Webber. I imagine they thought the announcement he was leaving and the new guy joining would be enough to placate the fans but they honestly seem in denial about Webber's standing at this point. Even this statement is at pains to big him up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S_81 848 Posted November 7, 2023 This is good news, clearly. But - it does follow hot on the heals of the story yesterday that City may commit to another year of Wagner. Should we win at Cardiff then Knapper being in post may well coincide with that occurrence. I sincerely hope not - as it’s evident Wagner will go on lengthy losing runs - and we will end up having to take action and pay him off a greater amount. Once again I will take a loss if it means getting rid of the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
