20 million
Various news outlets reporting that Norwich will have a 20 million pound budget to improve their squad if they get promoted. Given how many goals they concede I would suggest that will make it very difficult for them to stay up

Re: 20 million
That could be just a bit of media use by Norwich in order to lower expectations for their fans and or trying to give themselves the edge in transfer negotiations...or on the other hand be true and down they go I would think.Vegas Claret wrote:Various news outlets reporting that Norwich will have a 20 million pound budget to improve their squad if they get promoted.

Re: 20 million
Norwich have scored 89 and conceded 55 already, we scored 72 but only conceded 35 when we won it. Premier league teams will pick them off for fun

Re: 20 million
Perhaps they are under some illusion that they think that they are already good enough to enter the PL without spending much, £20 wont buy much, a championship striker maybe, you will have to dig deeper than that im afraid Dehlia.

Re: 20 million
I don’t know how good Norwich are or how many players they need?
But 20m with a European coach should go a lot further than an English one. They might pick 4 or 5 players up for that?
You certainly need to keep the core of the squad together so bringing 10 plus in won't work.
Also it's pretty late in the season when you get the premier league money in installments. We learnt that when we expected lots of signings straight away and could only afford one decent player and a load of dross.

But they can get last year's leading Championship scorer from us for less than £20m

I watch a lot of Championship football and they aren't as good as Fulham were last season. They are probably on par with Cardiff, so will need 4-5 better players to stay up.Quickenthetempo wrote:I don’t know how good Norwich are or how many players they need?

People bang on about how the Championship is "harder this season" - it isn't. It's a lot weaker than last season.
Re: 20 million
Good on them - give it a crack and not risking the bank.
It’s worked for us so perhaps that’s the type of approach they are hoping to emulate.
It won’t always work but credit to them, if this is the case. We should be applauding those looking not to join the ludicrous spending.

Other teams made the same jokes about us each and every time we were promoted.
We were even favourites to go down (ahead of Middlesbrough and Brighton) when we won the league and went up as champions!

Re: 20 million
I've not watched much of it this season, I've seen Derby, Leeds and Norwich and haven't seen anything amazing. Norwich look decent going forward but will get torn to shreds in the PL if they continue playing that way. Leeds look like they played good football at the beginning part of the season but they really were crap at Brentford at the weekend (granted they should have had a pen at 0-0). It might be a more competitive division because there are no strong teams, not sure.FactualFrank wrote:I watch a lot of Championship football and they aren't as good as Fulham were last season.

Re: 20 million
I read about this yesterday and seemed to remember that it included fees and wages - so just re-read and I was right - good luck to them but that defence needs work for the Premier League as they will not score as many as they have this season

Re: 20 million
Norwich don't create many chances but finish what they get. Leeds are the opposite - they play the best football in the Championship but couldn't finish a sentence. Norwich need more than £20 million. They need probably 3 or 4 times more than that to stay up.Vegas Claret wrote:I've not watched much of it this season, I've seen Derby, Leeds and Norwich and haven't seen anything amazing.

Gough on Talksport will be annoyed.
He was whinging last night about teams that come up, don't splurge it all and bank the money instead.
He's paid to be of the belief that teams should so improvements in their squads by spending the money
One day he might actually understand what he's talking about when it comes to football.

Norwich have some excellent individuals but the exciting way they play leaves them exposed at the back. Some on here would like us to be like that. Godfrey, Lewis, Aarons, Leitner, Buendia, Hernandez and Pukki will do well.

I dont think theres any need to snicker, we might have a budget of 50 million and still be lucky to spend 10.

look at some of the unknown foreign quantities that huddersfield have brought in, they're mostly dross. its no coincidence they are where they are.

Plenty of clubs and arrogant fans have laughed at little old Burnley for not spending much. They aren't laughing now.
Let's not turn in to a set of supercilious bells just because we're doing alright at the moment. Let Norwich spend what they want and let's judge them on where they finish in the table.

The problem is, if you do sign a player for £20m, they are likely to want about the same in wages.

I was talking to a Norwich supporter I know the other day and he told me they won't be spending a lot on players if in Premier League next season and they won't need to
He said they have a brilliant recruitment manager or whatever his job title is who I think they got from Huddersfield
And last season they brought in some excellent players without spending much money including is it Pukki who has scored about 28 goals this season and who they got for free
Yes they highly rate this recruitment guy and fully expect him to find some more bargains

They need recruitment on a level akin to pre-title win Leicester City or it’s curtains for them.
They don’t have the cash to spend much more than that - I get that. But everything about that club just screams relegation next season. Style of play just isn’t sustainable for getting results in big games. Lack the outstanding individuals to make the difference
