MaVilla Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 34 minutes ago, May-Z said: Interesting article with Norwich's owner on the BBC talking about their financial situation. Essentially, they haven't got any money and won't be 'doing a Fulham' by gambling TV money. They'll sell in no time once an offer is in, imo. Just depends how man teams are fighting it out. Little snippet quotes him taking about having to sell players. "If we do sell one, it's going to be a club record deal," he said. "It's probably going to start with a number three in front of it and that will give us great opportunities to maybe make the whole better as well. We're really relaxed on that front." to be fair, reading the article you have to respect the way they are doing it, in terms of sustainability etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) I can't see how Norwich have no money. They were PL last year and hardly spent a bean, they took the money and ran. Their wage bill can't be huge and they've just had a year of parachute payments. By having no money he must mean not prepared to spend the money he's banked. Apparently the price of flour is about to rise so maybe Delia needs more dough. Edited May 31, 2021 by sidcow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 2 hours ago, est1874 said: If true that they have no money and would sell as soon as an offer comes in, it does beg the question why we didn't pounce last year when we probably could have had him for £20m. The Sanson situation shows we were willing to pay early if the price was right. We've waited an extra year and will have to pay a PL premium as a result. I doubt it's all going to be as cut and dry as suggested tbh. Because Martinez and Watkins were more pressing priorities, so by the time they were wrapped up, Buendia may not have been available or Traore/Barkley may have been seen as better alternatives as they were cheaper, allowing us more maneuverability to get our key targets. I think you're right that Sanson was the right price at the right time, which is why we went for him, but it seems to me that Buendia may have been right price at the wrong time so we didn't go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whereas our owners are happy to pay for all of the infrastructure out of their own pocket Norwich have probably had to borrow to update training ground , stadium etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
