Norwich City sporting director Stuart Webber has spoken to Canaries TV about a variety of topics after the club's relegation to the Championship was confirmed on Saturday. They are the only team in Europe’s top-five leagues not to have claimed a point after conceding first this season and even West Ham, who have dropped 24 points from winning positions this season, could not find a way to blow this lead. We’ve got an academy which is doing great productivity, I look at fan engagement from where it was and where it is now. © 2020 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. If you value what this story gives you, please consider supporting the Norwich Evening News. That’s important, football’s an infinite game, it doesn’t end. Just finally, on the boss – throughout his time here, he said he’s committed to the club and the project. It’s not long before the Canaries kick off. What can we learn from Norwich City’s relegation nosedive? You can read the full transcript below or watch the full 16-minute video above. If people above me don’t like it, then I’ll go. Antonio’s first two goals both arrived from dead ball positions, a problem City have been unable to rectify all season. We’ll have some criticism and people will have plenty to say, no doubt. West Ham attacked again and Antonio became the first player to score four goals in a game for West Ham since David Cross in 1981, tapping in a cross from Ryan Fredericks. Sat 11 Jul 2020 09.30 EDT Yeah, for sure. Could you clarify our position on budgets for next season when it comes to purchasing players? I just ask for people at this time to have some respect. “You always have to ask yourself what you could have done better. More than 400 guests attended Norwich City’s annual End of Season Dinner, with season highlights, interviews and awards presented throughout the evening. But, hang on a minute, they’ve got four England internationals starting the game, let’s not forget that. The plan and how we’ve got these young players through have actually transformed what was definitely a failing academy based on the numbers of appearances and players sold and value for money etc. Soucek continued to use his physicality to pose problems for the Canaries. It is not unexpected. I’m in charge of the football strategy and I’m in charge of the decisions when it comes to spending money we haven’t got. Behind after 11 minutes, Norwich could have been forgiven for walking down the tunnel. “I have a long-term contract,” he said. What we can’t do is get too caught up in that but what I can reassure people is what’s exciting for us down here is that we can get our business done early, the model doesn’t change and it’s still young, hungry players that we can make better. It’s a big game today and you’d probably like to be standing in the stands right now waiting for the teams to arrive. He laid the ball off to the midfielder, who could only side foot his effort wide of the post. You don’t grow when you win and everyone tells you you’re brilliant, this is the moment now when our young players and staff will grow and learn from this and become better people and better footballers, as much as it hurts like hell for people now. Bowen caused constant problems, arrowing two efforts wide, and West Ham had another chance go begging when Krul denied Soucek. He gets on with job, him and his staff work incredibly hard. Swallowing relegation for the greater good is a damning reflection of what modern football has become. The work that we’ve done, the benefits will come long after the likes of myself have gone. If you couldn’t make the game but still want to follow the live action then it’s not too late. His first effort was saved well by Krul, but he nodded the rebound into an empty net to compound City’s misery. We also need to appreciate where we are and our history in the Premier League. Michail Antonio sealed Norwich City's Premier League fate with a four goal salvo Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd The Canaries record-breaking fifth relegation from the top-flight was confirmed - with Michail Antonio’s four goals recording a precious three points for David Moyes’ men in their own quest for Premier League survival. He’s had three years of fire sales, trying to change a culture, trying to develop a way of playing and develop young players and trying to fight in the richest league in the world with spending £750,000. Norwich City defender Ben Gibson says the Canaries must be ready to fight to play their own way against Rotherham on Saturday (3pm KO). Fortunately, for the first time it’s in our hands. Noble, surprisingly playing at the highest point of midfield, was looking like a cockney Kevin De Bruyne. People will always want to attribute a budget to a club being successful, but football doesn’t work like that. Ukraine star Andriy Yarmolenko was named on the bench in the Irons only change - and was replaced by captain Mark Noble. We’re definitely not immune to that but fortunately for us, that’s going to be on our terms and at the time we want to do it as opposed to: “Oh my god, if we don’t do it by August, we’ll be in administration” or something like that. Could you just sum up your emotions for us on the situation? Norwich boss Daniel Farke 'expected' relegation. Farke’s lightweight side looked broken and beaten throughout and succeeded only in delivering a masterclass in how not to handle Michail Antonio, whose four goals helped West Ham take a big step towards preserving their Premier League status with their first away win in nine matches. Put it to me, blame us not him.” Daniel and the players need backing, not questioning their future or second guessing their future. It doesn’t affect me. City’s defenders were struggling to contend with Antonio, who once again outmuscled Ben Godfrey before feeding Jarrod Bowen through on goal. That’s how we’ll do it, hopefully we afford to buy some slightly more readily hungry players as opposed to real gambles and I’ve got to say, that’s really exciting. Ben Godfrey, for example, got to a play-off final at Shrewsbury, Todd Cantwell on his loan [at Fortuna Sittard] got promoted. Maybe. The boss said in his post-match comments after the game Saturday about the developments that have been made at the training ground and how important they’ve been for the long-term future of the club. Set pieces have been an Achilles heel for Daniel Farke’s men all season – with Virgil Van Dijk beginning a concerning trend on the opening night at Anfield when the Dutch centre-back put Liverpool 3-0 ahead. Of course, we could, I’m the first to admit that. Daniel has two years left on his contract and, again, we’ve sent him into war without a gun. Will we spend as much as our competitors in the Championship? That’s tough for him and then all of the stick that comes his way, I ask people: “Please, just back off him and back off the players. Read more The defeat that sealed Norwich’s relegation summed them up. If you look at the other two teams promoted, one spent over £100 million and one spent £60-70 million. We had to sell players to survive and we don’t need to do that now. I look at the atmosphere as well, so many things that we’ve developed. Would Daniel Farke do it differently if he was allowed another go? It’s a case of if somebody goes, it will be on our terms. To do this click on the cookie settings button below. It’s also our highest league position since we’ve been here, we finished 34th in the first year, 14th in the Championship, last year was 21st and this year will probably be 20th. But leave the players and staff alone because they worked unbelievably hard – it’s not their fault, it’s mine. If people need a scapegoat, not a problem – I can take it because I don’t read it. He sounded confident about their financial position and ready to fight again next year, saying that he has no desire to leave the club. We were highly motivated to beat the odds. Can you talk to us a little bit about that? In terms of the recruitment that was made in the two windows, what did you make of it and do you have any regrets about the players that were brought into the club? It’s not particularly nice but it’s also not the biggest surprise. Noble swung in a free‑kick and Antonio glanced in an easy header. Don’t miss out and enjoy every single minute for only ##MP_PRICE## with one of our Match Passes. But the fact is, the club is in much better health and again, we make no apologies. This time, it was Noble’s cross that the midfielder volleyed towards goal – only for Krul to produce a stunning save to deny United a second goal. Last modified on Sat 11 Jul 2020 19.12 EDT. We couldn’t quite achieve staying there but we can’t forget what these boys have done for the club so far. But other performances, there have been some positives to take from them. Leeds wouldn’t have spent 16 years in the Championship or whatever it is if football worked like that. We had to sell just to keep the club afloat, now we don’t ,and we’ve got all the weapons. Leeds turned a signing permanent for £15 million recently, that’s not us. People want to look for reasons and delve deeper, in the end it comes down to quality. Although we’ll go down with parachute payments, that’s puts us in a really good position and enables us to develop a strong squad on the pitch, we’re still not going to be the biggest spenders. Nonetheless, it was striking to hear him describe Norwich’s seventh successive defeat as a case of “men against boys”. There was a doomed air about Norwich and a straightforward change from Moyes lifted West Ham after their defeat by Burnley last Wednesday, the omission of Andriy Yarmolenko for Mark Noble giving the side more balance. You mention the Southampton game which came at the start of the restart. Stuart, a few days have passed since relegation was confirmed. The German just wanted his players to enjoy themselves. We’ve gone into the Premier League with an extremely inexperienced young team, we’ve not been able to recruit the level of player that we want.
