Definitely didn't think they'd get that much for him. Will put any of our sales into sharp contrast this summer.
Can only assume it's £25m weighted down with several incentives and clauses, but either way to get that much for him is as impressive as it is frustrating. Leaves them balancing the books rather than in trouble until next summer. |  |

Few clubs pay on what a player has already achieved. It was something we did for far too long.
It is far more sensible to pay based on what they are likely to do in the future.
What does surprise me is that the serious injury Maddison received appears not to have affected the quoted fee. That would suggest a far higher proportion is conditional than suggested. That would not suit a club desperate for cash unless they are confident of covering the deficit from other sales or know they can't do any better. |
Not sure his injury was that serious though as pretty sure I read he didnt need an op and would be fit for pre season. |  | | |

£25m after installments apparently, so at a guess, they'll receive around half up front or possibly even less. The sales of Murphy and Maddison have filled the whole and then some but they still have to replace them effectively and improve the squad, something I think Farke can't do.
We'll see, but we all know to well how a bit of money doesn't change everything. |
The ‘hole’ is £20m+, so unless they cut wages/costs they will need to sell a Maddison every season |  | | |

Fair enough. I would imagine anything that did would prevent him passing a medical and delay any possible transfer until insurers at least could be satisfied. |  |

Summer spending will be up this year. Rotherham spending seven figures. Interesting to see if Evans reacts. Needs to. |
Rotherham spending £1m on someone we spent £20k on though. I’d say we were still right to sell | | | |

Definitely hold on to AD. We're not in a position where we have to sell. But it could be that history ends up repeating itself a bit and like selling Dyer, we use the funds for a promotion push. [Post edited 17 Jun 2018 18:57]

Obviously it would be good to use the funds for a promotion push but do you really believe that would happen under Evans? We had had the significant amount following Mings' sale and it wasn't used to bolster our chances. The club would offer contracts to Coke and Toure LMAO. |  | | |

They wont replace him though.
They are now WORSE than us on paper IMO.
Everything they did went through Maddison.
They will need to spend some money and not just balance the books, if they are going to compete with top 6. [Post edited 18 Jun 2018 12:45]

I don’t think that’s the case at all. The hole this summer is 20m.
Next summer they’ll have a lot of players like Naismith, Klose, McGovern, Jarvis & 1 or 2 others who are still earning PL money off of their wage bill and they’ll probably have a budget similar to ours. |  |

They will have a budget similar to ours, and it will similarly decline if they get stuck in this league for a few years, most likely at a faster rate than ours will as we must be down to our hardcore fan base by now.
When they drop down to about 15-16k fans, and have no-one sticking in £5m a year then they'll be tiny at this level - hopefully it happens soon! |  |

Any accountants here? I think not. Its clear none of you understand the difference between debt and an income reduction.
Let me explain. Norwich are facing a reported £20-£30m cash shortage this year due to parachute payments disappearing. This is the same for every club that gets relegated from the PL - unless of course they gain instant promotion back to the PL the following season. Norwich didn't manage that therefore they are now adjusting some of their operating costs (via player wages and player sales) to suit the expected cash shortfall going forward. As much as we like to gloat and speculate on their demise, cutting your cloth to suit is the sensible thing to do i.e. spend only what you can afford. As long as they are able to do this (and the recent sales of Madison and Murphy indicate they have) I'm afraid fellow Town fans there isn't any chance of Norwich being in debt any time soon. Debt is a much more serious issue of course, as this is money usually owed to an outside party that has been borrowed i.e. like our £85m debt to our beloved owner.
Sorry to preach but, all this incorrect speculation around the finances of Norwich is incorrect and is making us look like morons. | | | |

You're not preaching. You are, of course, being incredibly condescending. | | | |

Its not going to happen though is it?
Didn't they maintain 20k season ticket holders in League 1? They averaged a 25k attendance last season and there's little indication that that will change. And from what I know most Norwich supporters (I work with three) are behind Farke et al and their plans, and view the sale of Madison and Murphy as good business.
Lets deal with FACTS and keep things sensible. | | | |

This ‘they’ and ‘we’ thing is very strange. It’s so clear you are a budgie - I can understand why that is embarrassing to admit but just embrace it. | |
