Norwich City’s recent form in the Championship has raised question marks on the future of Canaries boss Wagner.

 

The Carrow Road outfit have also appointed Ben Knapper as their new sporting director, who is set to join them in November and it is suggested that his arrival might further scrutinise Wagner’s position.

 

 

 

Sutton believes that sacking Wagner would not change anything and has admitted that Knapper’s appointment has added further doubt to the German manager’s Norwich City future.

 

The ex-Norwich star thinks that the Canaries need to be cautious regarding their approach to changing the manager and stated that the club should question whether they have enough resources for another overhaul.

 

 

“I don’t think a change of coach is going to totally change everything – this feels to me like what they are currently”, Sutton wrote in his Pinkun column.

 

“The appointment of Ben Knapper has added fuel to the fire.

 

 

“Sporting directors usually want to make their own mark and the best way of doing that and signalling their intention is by making that change.

 

“There should be an air of caution.

 

“If he wants to come in and make a change – they are likely to come to the conclusion that this group of players isn’t good enough.

 

“Can Norwich have another overhaul? How big will that be? Do they have the resources?

 

“At the moment, Wagner is providing Norwich with continuity.

 

“Nobody knows how Knapper is feeling about it all or what approach he takes when he arrives.

 

Knapper previously worked as Arsenal’s loan manager and he is set to succeed Stuart Webber at Carrow Road.
