In fairness to them, how many are doing this?
Not really tinpot, is it? |
....because they furloughed all their non playing staff and have got the tax payer to pick up the bill.
So yeah, pretty damn tinpot for a (albeit shortlived) "Premier" League club. |  |

Ouch, a burning criticism there. |
years ago I was speaking to my wife about taking one of children to Carrow Road,
I said I wouldn't want Our son to go anywhere near there [Post edited 13 May 2020 15:08]

Ooooh, take that back. I think you'll find that was a perfectly legitimate arson-based insurance fraud. |  |

Completing the Premier League with no relegation would be a completely pointless exercise.
If you are going to do that you might as well award Liverpool the title and declare the current standings as final.
There are a lot of medium sized clubs currently in the Prem (not just Norwich) who should show a bit more solidarity with the football league where they have spent many years themselves.
For example NOT entering their U21 teams in the Football League Trophy would be a start. |  | | |

Well, quite. Then they get the money and for many of them they become as self-interested as the rest. |  |

I assume this is now seen as the more 'palatable' way of asking for relegation to be scrapped? |
Yes.
If they play all their games and finish in a relegation spot it would not make one jot of difference to their situation how the championship promotion places were settled.
Another one for the list of reasons why they genuinely are a bit of a scummy club, not simply rivals. |  |

Gloves off hey Keno?
As tinpot and classless as letting local suppliers go swing for the money in admin?
Mind you, maybe we'll get to see how Norwich handle that soon hey? |
norwich of course have already been into liquidation once in their history. |  |

Yeah I think you're right there.
Don;t be too harsh on Norwich though people (ha!). I think this is desperation talking and that desperation is a product of not having a extremely wealthy backer (unlike you lot, so try and remember that) |
This is TWTD, so the correct spelling is 'norwich'. | |

There are over 6m people furloughed - some of them must work for some proper nasty firms, so your taxes are paying for them too.

absolute bollox. Norwich are the plucky underdogs running under their own financial resources, no billionaires with dubious sources of money - what football should be. | |

Especially considering they went into this season, basically with zero ambition to remain in the Premier League, while Sheffield United look on course for a European slot.
Absolutely embarrassing carry on, especially given the bigger picture of thousands upon thousands of people losing their lives.
Also, as pointed out earlier in the thread, if there is no relegation, what the hell is the point in restarting the season? It's the only thing that needs settling in that division with Liverpool so far and away ahead. [Post edited 13 May 2020 13:44]

Are parachute payments still a thing and still going to be paid at the same level, when sky already want big dollops of their money back (the reason we're in such dire sh1t)? |
In reality, the whole thing is fairly moot, unless this crisis ends a lot sooner than the experts think. Both the Prem and the EFL may be changed out of all recognition. Revenues in the latter may not end up much lower than the bottom end of the former. |  |

They've been wanting it voided from the start, just massive self interest.
Funnily enough the Southend chairman thinks the same or there will be no integrity left apparently....!
They deserve to go down, I'm looking forward to seeing them whinge about it - imagine if they were 18th rather than dead last how much more vocal they'd be |  |

But the income in that budget looks like it's going to be slashed horribly. You might say there should have been some slack in there for unseen eventualities, but then again look at how we've been ripped apart for our lack of spending ambition this season.
Edit: Evans should have enough money to see you through - the amounts are involved are in the millions, not the tens of millions. [Post edited 13 May 2020 12:48]

You just described the demise of ITV Digital and the effect of clubs below the Premier League going into administration. No further criticism of that please. |  | | |
