norwich debt on 11:43 - Nov 10 by ElephantintheRoom | So? That’s an even worse situation to be in as the pension fund are looking for a return on their ‘investment’. IF the carpetbaggers manage to sell the club in the near future for a profit it will still be by running it in a totally unsustainable manner - and Ashton, O’Leary and the Americans will be gone counting their dosh. |

Please explain why an investor wanting a return is a worse situation than a lender wanting interest payments. In the context of Norwich and Ipswich currently, and, er, professional football in 2023. |  |

Naughty! Seriously though, Nerders consistently posts as if 40 years commercialisation of football hasn’t happened yet. I don’t disagree with his underlying issue but it’s surreal and out of time. |  |

norwich debt on 09:35 - Nov 10 by OldFart71 | If true the main reason I want Town prepared for the Premier League, which currently they are not. Yes, we have a superb manager, a decent sized ground that's been updated. But as was shown against Palace we are some way short of being good enough although I appreciate it was basically our second eleven. But then it was also Palace's second eleven as well. Not that I don't want them promoted anytime soon and the situation in the Burley years doesn't exist as we now have a much better backup in the form of Gamechanger. A better management team who would make better decisions on player purchasing. Currently I feel we would need at least half a dozen players to come in to make us Premier League ready with around the same amount departing. |
palace ? thought it was fulham .still they are both london clubs |  |

norwich debt on 19:58 - Nov 10 with 852 views | Vic | I’m not sure we have much to gloat about in this department. I seem to remember administration a few years ago, and more latterly a huge debt being wiped off by a certain Marcus Evans when he sold the club. We have absolutely no right to rejoice in the predicament of our friends up the road. |  |

norwich debt on 10:14 - Nov 10 by Blueschev | Not sure that this is doable, but I would suggest scrapping parachute payments completely and introducing mandatory relegation clauses in every Premier League contract. Then your wage bill would become more sustainable in the event of relegation without giving you an unfair advantage over everyone else in the Championship. |
Is there a reason why relegation clauses aren’t included? Seems absurd to me. They should absolutely be mandatory! |  |

This maybe? “The twins no longer derive their sustenance from Nature's founts - in short," said Mr. Micawber, in one of his bursts of confidence, "they are weaned ... " |  |

I am sure there is no doubting what you say, but that Palace match was a long time ago. |  |

thought we looked really strong against Palace, no? clean sheet, and 3-0 at half time with the game all but won. Thought Nouble took his goal well. |  | |  |

Palace is south of the river and therefore not London but Normandy. Well, so my grandad (born and raised Caledonian Rd) told me. Edit: Yes Fulham too is south of the river but somehow qualified as London. Perhaps the riverbank counts. I never explored this anomaly. [Post edited 10 Nov 2023 23:25]
