KNAPPER NOW STARTS NOV 13TH

[yellowrider120 793]

Quite unbelievable but then again this is the 'hierarchy' of 'liitle old Norwich' were taking about!

TeamTalk are reporting that City's hierarchy have already drawn up a list of replacements and are ready to act if they fail to get a result in South Wales on Saturday.

 

 It's understood that Wagner and his squad has the full support of the board ahead of this weekend's game at Cardiff

So Wagner's immediate future depends entirely (if said conjecture is correct) on Cardiff result! Almost as if the diabolical end to last season, the final league position and us sitting 17th and getting uncomfortably close to the bottom three are all irrelevant then! This a pretty much exact repeat of the refusal to act on Hughton and Worthington despite months of evidence to the contrary..

I believe this is fake news. I saw the tweet from "TNC" yesterday and when I checked it was a fake account. I have checked again today and cannot see any such tweet from either TNC or Nick.

You’re right. My mistake for believing it. Phew, thank god. Albeit I still won’t believe he’s gone until he’s gone

Baffling isn’t it. He shouldn’t have been made it this far. And should be written off regardless of what happens on Saturday

I believe its a made-up post from a troll account on X, the same one currently saying Webber has chained himself to the Colney gates and won't leave.

So I'd say its very likely.

 

It is. My mistake. Albeit I still wouldn’t put anything past our owners

Win on Saturday and sack him straight after the match Farke style?

Sack him whatever the result, yeah. He’s done here

It got me on first reading as well! I very much suspect he will be gone on 13 November. Club seems happy to throw away another 3 points against Cardiff - that in itself is baffling!

I still wonder if his contract has a notice period and they are basically now working it out with him. Or certainly until get the next person in.  The situation is obscure

Should have gone then,  not Daniel!  He sacked him to deflect the attention from himself. After all he commented he did not give Farke the ammunition for the PL. That said it all.

Agreed, I can’t wait to read Farke’s memoirs when the times right. You’d believe his version of events over Webber’s every time.

Player Mangers aren't really a thing these days. But what about....... now, hear me out.... a "Sporting Director/Manager"!! 

2 birds, 1 stone. then you only ever have to hire and fire 1 person. Half the salary, half the payoffs.

Back in the day there WAS only one person doing all these rolls, it was called a MANAGER.  Not all this SD and first team coach cr@p.

He is on 12 months rolling....it makes no difference when it happens

[stratton canary 137]

Can't see Knapper coming in & keeping with Wagner especially now that Webber is off. 

He will want his own man & a style of play & not keep someone on who has failed ( given what he has to play with )  week after week. 

New men at the top hopefully a new start, just in time for December 16th.

Team talk makes things up on the regular 

The desperation to blame our owners for something that hasn't happened is baffling.

If Knapper doesn't want Wagner he will be gone irrespective of our owners views. Just like Farke was gone when the owners didn't want it - they let the SD get on and make those decisions.

I won’t pretend to understand that. I’d have thought there’s break clauses and conditions etc. But maybe it’s we owe him 12 months regardless.

At this stage I can’t help but question the judgment or personal sentiment of the owners - having left Webber in place and largely unaccountable for so long. 

When/if/should Wagner go, with Knapper in, then I hope to feel differently. A new damn. Hopefully a better one than we’ve seen the past couple of years, on a number of fronts. 
And I’m realistic about the conditions in which we operate - but I just want to see a taCtically astute coach, a blend of experience and youth in the playing squad, and above all - all involved giving it 100% for the fans 

[Indy 3,323]

A year too late but still at lest it’s happening now, question is will Wagner be going with him after re QPR game?

[Google Bot 3,342]

I read that Webber will be either 'stepping down', or 'vacating his position'? 

Is it possible that he remains at the club in some other capacity until his contract expires (or longer), and maybe that's why he's been in Brazil to hold more of a recruitment style role?

I really could imagine the club wanting him to remain here, and also I get the impression that Attanasio's like him.  Sure Zoe's a bit of a fan, too.

But there was no real money in the game so cloth was cut accordingly.

From sporting director downwards can anyone hazard a guess how many are employed now?

Can't see it. Altering both Knappers start date and Webbers curtain call significantly suggests they've worked out that many fans won't let up until he's gone.

I think he was in Brazil to handle a final handover of that operation, and the club probably thought it was best he wasn't around as a distraction.

The bit where “city’s hierarchy have already drawn up a list of replacements” worries me. 
 

Who exactly, if true (granted, unlikely) would that hierarchy be? Assuming Knapper would’ve had limited input up to now, who on earth in that club right now could be trusted do draw up a new coach shortlist. On that basis I think I’d almost rather keep Wagner!!!

my sentiment as well. keep wagner in situ (for whatever r4eason) and give up on three points. Abso;utely mad.

Hope its not Lampard, he wont steady the ship.
