Norwich City sporting director Ben Knapper has admitted he is "not delivering" in his role at the moment, with the Canaries next to bottom of the Championship.
The club appointed Philippe Clement as head coach on Tuesday following the sacking of Liam Manning, who managed to pick up only nine points from their first 15 league games of the season.
Knapper led the recruitment process which identified former Rangers boss Clement as the best candidate, despite protests from supporters calling on him to follow Manning out of the exit door.
An online petition was begun on 11 November under the heading 'Remove Ben Knapper as Norwich City sporting director' and, as of Wednesday, it had more than 1,500 signatories.
