Was wondering how much they cost, having been told that 12th place is a miracle on our budget, and with the exception of Klose, their first eleven doesn't cost that much more than ours. In fact they had two youths, two freebies and four players who all cost less than Kayden Jackson that could have been bought with the Waghorn money alone. The key difference is that they spend £1.5m on a Bundesliga player and we limit ourselves to one country in the world and spend £1.5 on a Third Division player. You see where the difference in quality is coming through. [Post edited 11 Nov 2018 23:25]

I suspect they also have a manager capable of organising the team and coming up with effective tactics. Something we didn't possess until a week or two ago. |  |

I was looking at the broader picture really. Up until they played us Farke looked like the one who didn't know what he was doing, now they are top. If Evans looks at the spending on their team as i have done, he must be wondering why all the managers (apart from 2014-15) he appoints cannot do something similar. I'm suggesting the answer is that the you get better quality for your money abroad if you have someone with the right contacts. | |

Suggesting we exclude 2014-15 rather defeats your argument.
Let's see where they are at the end of May. |  |

Which has some truth to it (see also: Mahrez). It would be great if Lambert's experience of Continental football as a player means he has some useful contacts over there. | |

I don't know how that is relevant. | |

Not really, he's been here 10 years. I accept Norwich almost certainly won't win the league and will do well to get a play-off place but that would easily outstrip 9 of our last 10 seasons. | |

On the other hand, this season might just be their '2014-15' season. | |

Absolutely, but in our position, I accept we need a short term fix of experienced Premier League/Championship players to have a chance of staying up before going down the European route. | |

Indeed. These things also take time to establish. Even if the contacts already exist, they have to go out and do the game-watching and research to start finding the specific players we need. | |

Let's hope so, i'd like to see 9 years of them struggling after a play-off failure to prove you right. | |

We"ve 'only' had 3 years of struggle since ours. | |

I was thinking last night that given the prices of English players we need to start looking abroad more. There’s more value there, whilst I don’t want a team full of foreign players we can get more bang for our buck. |  | | |

Ah, yes this will be the same Norwich side that finished below us with a far bigger wage bill last season. How much are they paying Rhodes per week, you seem to have missed that one out?
They were hardly better than us in September but have had an excellent run of form since. It's also only November and their form is only a little better than where we were this time last season.
And, also, no one pretended 12th was a miracle. People, correctly, pointed out that we have a bottom third budget and that therefore expectations of the play-offs were way off. |  |

I imagine that they'd just need a work permit signing off but would guess this will take some time to phase in whether it be football or otherwise. |  | | |

There won't be a cap on overseas players. Not if the big clubs want to participate in European competition and, let's face it, the FA isn't going to stand up to them. | |

I get this from budgies- they reputedly spent £4.8 mn in the summer
Pukki was a free (what a bargain)
+ they have some loans
BUT & it's a BIG one, they have a football man doing the scouting
No jealousy, just how it is | | | |

A interesting post - and given the deranged scum mentality of many on here guaranteed to get some hostile responses. How many Norwich fans expected anything other than a relegation scrap this season? How close their manager to the sack if he lost the derby? The key differences at Norwich are off the field. They have a football board and a football strategy. They have gone out of their way and suffered relegation to the doom of division 3 by doing the polar opposite of Town. They continue to do so. If Norwich had appointed Hurst they would have backed him and given him time, neither of which luxury did he have here. £1.5million on a 3rd division player is OK if it is on the right player. Nothing in Jackson's low scoring background suggested he was going to be an instant success. The suspicion remains that Hurst simply signed players he'd quite like at Shrewsbury. There was a tactic of buying from below - but no discernible strategy. There nobody at Portman Road above Lambert with any interest in football other than as an income stream. In recent years Evans has been reduced to promoting' the only area of growth in his business empire is at his football club'. The Sunday Times hack producing the fanciful rich list clearly believed it. But not many within Portman Road would. | |

Having had dealings with Philip Beresford, he is anything but a 'hack' and the Rich List is only 'fanciful' if you don't bother to read the introduction and understand what it is actually about. | |
