Thoughts on Norwich

[mistaram]

So Norwich who bossed the championship last year are going down with a whimper!

They have at least got 10 more pts than us, but spent less than a million on transfer fees this season, less than one would spend on shaping a side for promotion from the championship.

On the otherhand they will have earned somewhere in the region of £90 million for finishing last and get two years of parachute payments worth around £40 million per year (based on last years figures).

Given that they will presumably only ahve increased wages by an average of 20% and will no doubt have a relegation drop clause, they have at the least earned a significant cash injection with which to strengthen the team as required and be in the hunt for promotion next season.

As a club they are self financing and have no debt to carry. Their fans have had a year in the prem and no doubt a good season in the championship next season to look forward to.


Or you could do a Villa or like last year Fulham, spaff over £100 million on players and still go down!

Or you could do a Sheff Utd do both don't spend and still stay up

Hardly Sheff Utd spent just under £60 million on transfer fees for the current season, (small beer for the prem admittedly) including two players at £19.35 and £17.19 respectively, however their best signing was probable the loan of Henderson an excellent goalie from Man Utd for the season.
