Knapper speaks to the press for the first time
- Published
Norwich City's sporting director Ben Knapper spoke to local media for the first time since joining the Canaries in November last year.
Among the topics covered, he explains why he stood by David Wagner when many fans were calling for his head.
Knapper told BBC Radio Norfolk, "the role of sporting director is about staying calm, thinking logically and trying not to be influenced by noise. Make logical decisions with the club's best interests at heart.
"I was aware of the noise – you can’t not be. It was audible in the stands and you see things in the media which are hard to get away from at times.
"I was clear in my mind – the best way for me to make decisions is to take time. That was always what I was going to do.
"There were lots of things in our control that we could have been doing better and we are now," he said.
He also said the Canaries are 'Premier League ready', should they go up this season.
