The claim is they left him in place....

As a pragmatic choice to run the team through the end of the season while they formulated a rebuilding plan.
Hence you heard lots of noise during the season about making the average age of the squad younger and talk of new coaches.

To be fair to Wagner he should have probably been sacked when Knapper came in but it actually worked out for him.
He actually leaves the club with a lot of credit in the outside world and I believe he will get a job at a mid table Champs side looking to get into the playoffs.

From the outside looking in he took Norwich from 13th in the first season to then 6th in the second.
On paper that's a decent resume.
