First definitive ground expansion confirmation?
Davidlingfield replied to hogesar's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
A substantial piece of work was done in 2016 looking at two options: 1. Expanding Carrow Road to a capacity of 35,000. 2. Moving site completely. No. 2 was discounted pretty quickly for a number of reasons - available site, planning etc but no. 1 had quite a bit of work done on it but the financial return just didn’t work, despite an assumption of a fair chunk of hospitality income. i can’t think with current interest rates and building costs that the situation has improved, so I would be sceptical about it happening, and if it did, I would be worried about financial impact. -
Only for FFP purposes - not actual player contracts which will still be able to be any length.

Michael and Delia are “ devastated “

Love that based on your profile name…. -
Immediate Reaction To Stu Leaving
Davidlingfield replied to Midlands Yellow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I would be more excited if it was the other Webber leaving. -
I would guess he will go as he is a fan and it is the right time for him to leave Norfolk - Zoe, I suspect would stay put as i really couldn’t see her getting an equivalent role at her huge salary elsewhere.
-
He will already have an employer sorted.
-
I can't see him going - Leeds won't let him and Zoe rinse them for as much cash as Norwich have done/are doing.

Marcelino Nunez off to Brighton?
Davidlingfield replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Of course it won’t - there are debts to pay…. -
Interesting nugget at board level....
Davidlingfield replied to king canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Zoe Webber worked at Peter McCormick's law firm at some point in the past - he has been a regular visitor the the Directors' Lounge at Carrow Road on match days - like Stuart Webber, he is a Leeds fan, but owns a holiday home in North Norfolk so visits regularly. -
Webber's appeal to the fans
Davidlingfield replied to lake district canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
There is no choice but to "add experience" through free transfers as there is no money available to do anything else. It is the last roll of the dice before Championship mediocrity (or worse) beckons. -
Mark Attanasio
Davidlingfield replied to Parma Ham's gone mouldy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Might be his occupation changed to “Business Owner” but not sure what it was before so maybe something else? -
I didn't actually call him a liar, but I am certainly questioning the truth of it as it doesn't pass the logic test to me, based on (i) Webber's history of selling players when the financial position deems it necessary (as it does now) - e.g. Pritchard and (ii) whether the player would actually have justified such a valuation, although I guess it could have included add ons etc. So, yes maybe it could be 100% accurate but it does create doubts in my mind.

At least, according to Webber we did.....

Luton Deserve A Shot At The PL
Davidlingfield replied to Harry53's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Far less than 50% - Coventry squad cost less than £2m in total. Can't imagine Luton's was much more. -
Congrats Coventry and Mark Robins
Davidlingfield replied to Canary Jedi's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Agreed - why on earth would they see a mid-table Championship team with a recruitment policy of mid-30 year old players as a step forward from their current roles?? -
Congrats Coventry and Mark Robins
Davidlingfield replied to Canary Jedi's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
“He never seems to have stayed in one job for long”?! What a strange statement. He is the longest serving manager in the Championship. -
Luton Deserve A Shot At The PL
Davidlingfield replied to Harry53's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Although “for balance” they do have a paper thin squad, their best midfielder, Callum O’Hare out for most of the season, and his back up Kasey Palmer also out for last three months. Their wage bill is a small % of ours, so Coventry have massively over performed, whereas we have done the complete opposite. -
Hopefully waving goodbye - he’s too expensive

Congrats Coventry and Mark Robins
Davidlingfield replied to Canary Jedi's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
There is absolutely zero chance of being able to afford the wages of either of these. They will both play in the PL one way or the other next season. -
May 19th Webber interview
Davidlingfield replied to Chichcan's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Sorry, I think there is a typo there. You mean millions of pounds - Stuart and his wife are absolutely rinsing the Club, whilst wasting transfer funds, upsetting staff and generally ruining everything. -
