No doubt they will land on their feet again, just like always.
We go down and ITV digital collapses. Every time they've gone down they've got £100m in parachute money.
Whenever they are looking like they won't come back up and have a bad run of form, something goes in off someone's arse and they put a run of form together.
Even when they were likely to stay in League One for 4-5 years they got beaten so badly by Colchester that it forced them to change manager and they ended up lucking out there and getting someone capable of back to back promotions.
I'd actually quite like to see them just get liquidated.

To be fair, bias aside I do think Norwich are prime for some sort of liquidity event. Old out-of-touch owners who have been left behind by modern football and the depth of pockets required to kick on. They really have to be succession planning right now, for their sake and the clubs. On the fringes of the premier league, some decent young assets in the squad, good catchment, affluent enough. No reason, like us, why they couldn't establish themselves in the top tier with the right investment.

That would be a shame.

Unless they (or us) get huge investment they won't survive in the Premier League. But nor are they likely to go into liquidation as someone has suggested above. Businesses that don't carry debt and are risk averse don't tend to be liquidated 😂

Bear in mind we dont have rich owners either.
We have a pension fund to draw from, but we dont know how much is available or for how long.
Dont get me wrong, the new owners have us heading in the right direction and I'm supportive of them, but we cant look down on someone worth $700m.
Yeah our collective owners aren't that wealthy, without that pension fund backing them they are toast which is my biggest worry for me, football is an expensive business and I cannot see us anywhere near turning a profit for at least a decade.

Oh yeah I know that, just saying it’s not like they’re being taken over by a big billionaire investment fund. It’ll help balance their books and spend a bit more on transfers, but it wont see then as a rich club.

I think the problem they've got now is that if you're going to yoyo between the Championship and the Premier League you would like to think you'll come down better for it, with a better squad and healthier bank balance, ready to go up again and be that little bit stronger. I'm not convinced they are, they got relegated without a whimper and I actually think they're a worse side than they were 2 years ago. It's not even that they haven't spent money, its that what they have spent has been completely wasted. They bought £60m worth of crap last summer.
The concern is, the Milwaukee Brewers are a very well-run baseball team. For a small market team they continually outperform their big city rivals with smart recruitment.
Obviously, it’s a leap from running a baseball team in a league with no promotion or relegation, to trying to get out of the Championship. Fingers crossed it all goes wrong for them.

It was was quite astonishing luck they had with Lamber really, given how he failed literally everywhere else he went.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

They did invest last summer, 13th highest spenders in Europe, they just invested badly.
I can't believe I've just sort of defended Delia and Co I feel unclean.

Great news. They’ve been incredibly successful under the current ownership (they just don’t seem to realise it yet). Bound to go t1ts up under new ownership. See also Burnley.
