Goes to show how far behind the rest of Europe Norwegian football must be. Allowed to enter two teams, and getting to a semi final is still an achievement for them.
You know, the brand that sponsor that lot up the road.
I see a fair bit of it around Norwich, but not much anywhere else. Are they a 'legitimate' brand that were a thing before they sponsored Norwich? Or are they now getting a local following thanks to the exposure of being on their shirts?
Whatever your views on the 'crisis' , this is NOT sustainable.
(based on ONS data showing 748,501 live births in 1959, and assuming that all of those born are still alive, retiring on their 66th birthday, and birthdays are spread equally.)
ONS data shows 591,072 live births in 2023 (most recent complete year), which equates to just over 1,600 per day.
Essentially, without immigration, the UK workforce is shrinking by 400 a day, or 146,000 a year.
Decent players such as Huijsen, Mitoma, Mbuemo et al don't sign for newly-promoted clubs that are all but guaranteed to be relegated.
It's also worth bearing in mind the entire cost of the deal, and not getting fixated on the transfer fee. Factor in wages over the length of the contract, and various bonuses, and I'm willing to bet you that that lot end up as far more expensive propositions than any of our signings.
It's the whole Malen v Philogene argument again; you're not comparing similar situations.
Compare and contrast with the absolute culture shock of moving up to rural Norfolk at the age of 10, and discovering the complete lack of multi-culturalism.
I didn't encounter another BAME student in my education until the time of my GCSEs and, as far as a good number of the rest of the students were concerned, the young lady may as well have had three heads, and wheels instead of legs.
It's a real shame to see closed-mindedness like this in a town that (in my lifetime at least) has always been as multicultural as Ipswich.
I went to school at St Helen's in the 1990s, and it was a real cultural melting pot even back then. We marked and learned about all manner of cultural and religious festivals and events, and I feel incredibly privileged to have had such a culturally-varied early education.
And we'll probably be seeing the 'fruits' of that for a good few years still. Those who are now reaching the sort of age where they should be challenging for the first team will have already been with the club for 10-15 years in some cases.
In terms of picking up decent kids when they're 7/8, we won't see the first fruits of any improvements to the academy this side of 2030-2035.
Given the number of transfer and contract-related events we had last summer, I'm a little surprised to see us having been the lowest in the league when it comes to money paid to agents.
What's the received wisdom here? Lower value transactions, or a general unwillingness to be held to ransom by these leeches?
Seeing as we've got Tuanzebe and Johnson on the pitch, is it the 3/5 at the back formation that's served us well at times this season? Or are we in the usual 4-2-3-1 with Johnson playing wide right?
The reduced price cap and additional support from October 2022 seemed to coincide with their campaigning. Of course, whether it would have happened anyway is another question.
Either way, it was fairly clear that they had the right people sh**ting themselves over the prospect of mass non-payment.
