Norwich City’s fantastic season culminated in promotion to the Premier League with a game to spare.

This weekend the Canaries are looking to confirm their place as champions.

The key man behind their success is sporting director Stuart Webber.

Webber was appointed after leaving a similar role at Huddersfield Town.

His role has been lauded by Norwich majority shareholder Michael Wynn Jones.

He told the Pink Un: “What possibly people don’t see is the amount of hard work he puts into the job. You ask someone at Carrow Road where he is and he’ll be in Portugal or Brazil or something!

Wynn Jones joked when asked if Norwich can hold onto Webber: “I think he’s got his eyes on Barcelona!”

Norwich of course will fancy their chances of keeping hold of Webber for the time being.

This is because their promotion gives Webber a totally new challenge, with greater resources at his fingertips.

If he can lead Norwich into the Premier League top 10, his reputation will soar even further.
