Rio Ferdinand insists Norwich's decision to sack manager Daniel Farke was '100 per cent' taken before their first win of the season against Brentford - and claims the German WOULD have been informed before

Rio Ferdinand has insisted Norwich's decision to sack Daniel Farke as manager was '100 per cent' made before beating Brentford.

The Canaries got their first Premier League win of the season on Saturday afternoon, overcoming the Bees 2-1 to temporarily move off the bottom of the table before Newcastle's draw with Brighton pushed them back to 20th.

And Ferdinand stated on BT Sport the timing of the decision means Farke would have been sacked regardless of the result, and claimed the German would probably have been informed beforehand too.
