Norwich City boss admits having 'zero interest' in women's game

A football club boss has come under fire for describing the quality of the women's game as "really poor".

In an interview with The Athletic, Norwich City sporting director Stuart Webber said women's football was "of zero interest to me".

"It's like taking a Sunday League team and trying to make them a Premier League team," he told The Athletic's journalist Michael Bailey.

Norwich City Football Club has declined to comment.

Mr Webber began by praising Norwich City Women's 5-3 success last month against Ashford Town in front of 7,500 supporters at Carrow Road, saying it "brought a completely new fanbase to the stadium".
