The departure of Norwich City sporting director Stuart Webber has split opinion online. The 39-year-old has left Carrow Road and is one of a number of candidates linked with the vacant sporting director role at Elland Road.
Webber came under criticism following the Canaries relegation from the Premier League and was once again the target of supporters' frustration throughout the course of last season. Norwich finished in a disappointing mid-table position having been many people's bet for the title.
The outgoing sporting director at Carrow Road was praised for his recruitment as Daniel Farke's side won promotion in their 2021 title win. Prior to his work in Norfolk he worked with Leeds United's Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town and was instrumental in the recruitment of a number of key players in their promotion to the Premier League in 2017.
Some Norwich supporters are happy to see the back of Webber while others have warned the grass isn't always greener.

Here's what Norwich City supporters have had to say following Webber's departure:
@DaveCatchpole said: "Fantastic news!!"
@NPBurtenshaw said: "Overseen a very successful period and the best season in my lifetime, club infrastructure improving all the time... he'll go on to do really well elsewhere. Fans need to be careful what they wish for. Webber and Farke at Leeds next season will be a tough watch from mid-table."
@darrlyb1995 tweeted: "What is going on at my club. Doing a interview one week talking about signings coming in next thing you know he’s gone. Honestly I worry so much for next season. Not even just the derby game but can seriously see us going down now."
@BenNCFC_ said: "About time, but the grass isn’t always greener."
@danielmgeorg3 tweeted: "This is a huge deal, many calling for him to leave, it’s going to be tough without him."
@Lisajayne_ncfc said: "Fantastic news. Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out."
@NateGee7 said: "Well, people have been calling for his head over 2 years now. Wonder if the new signings were anything to do with him at all because they don’t scream Webber appointments."
