Stuart Webber has already explained what his next club might be able to expect from him, as he prepares to leave Norwich City. The sporting director has been strongly linked with a switch to Leeds United in recent weeks, following Victor Orta’s departure from Elland Road, and Tuesday’s announcement of his intention to leave East Anglia only served to put such speculation into overdrive.
Webber, who is known to be a Leeds fan, has spent six years at Carrow Road, but this season will be his last as he works his notice before moving on to pastures new. The Welshman previously worked at Huddersfield Town, QPR, Wolves and Liverpool before arriving at Norwich and, despite attracting recent criticism from Canaries supporters, he has a strong reputation in the game.
Speculation linking Webber and Leeds is as far as it goes at present, but if he were to land at Elland Road, it seems he would fancy his chances of being able to help the Whites, who are waiting for the 49ers Enterprises’ takeover to be officially signed off, back to Premier League. Speaking to the Training Ground Guru back in March, Webber underlined his belief that his strengths lie in ‘change’ and winning people over in new environments.
