Norwich City's support

"It's loyal and steadfast. It's not always noisy, but it's always there." Unless it's too busy working for a pro-war anti-muslim pornographer, of course. Can we expect to hear in the coming weeks how Worthington's ventures into the transfer market were sabotaged by the Duke of Edinburgh and some shadowy figures from the British secret services?

I don't want to say "I told you so" but...

According to Clancy

"the board believed that it should back the judgement of former manager Nigel Worthington and did so, sanctioning player wages during 2005/6 which were only marginally lower than during our year in the Premier League".

As I may have said more than once - what more evidence do the board need that this policy

"We allocate the amount to be spent by the manager as he sees fit. Whether he chooses to spend it on one or six players, on free transfers or wages or loans is really down to his judgment. It is not the board's place to tell the manager who to buy and we would never dream of doing that."

is fatally flawed?

Granty is streets ahead of his predecessor as a manager but never again should the club jeopardise its future by failing to at least question the judgement of an ex-footballer.

Good old-fashioned common sense (part 5)

According to Shaun O'Hara: "Failure to win promotion at the end of 2006/7 will reduce our income by a minimum of £7m. While the club remains in the Championship it will be necessary to generate surplus funds for future players by selling assets."

So was it really that wise to structure the Green and MacKenzie transfer deals so that the vast bulk of the money was only payable AFTER the end of 2006/7? Apparently it was :“I wouldn't accept that there's any weakness in any of the deals that have been done" says Neil Doncaster. I wonder who negotiated the deals then?

More comment on the accounts to come next week.
