  1. 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.
  2. Only for FFP purposes - not actual player contracts which will still be able to be any length.
  3. I have worked with her - so quite well placed to have that view, I reckon.
  4. I am certainly not sympathetic towards her - she is already way out of her depth even with her husband to help her - so god news how she will cope once he is gone….
  5. I would be more excited if it was the other Webber leaving.
  6. 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.
  7. He will already have an employer sorted.
  8. Adams was promised a job for life once his tenure as manager came to an end - hence, he has done a number of random roles such as Loan Player Manager and this one is probably no different.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Might be his occupation changed to “Business Owner” but not sure what it was before so maybe something else?
  13. 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.
  14. At least, according to Webber we did.....
  15. He isn't the brightest but in his earlier years here he was massively helped by good people around him - then those people left and he and his wife were in control. Unsurprisingly, given how out of their depth they are running a football club, the demise is now well and truly under way.
  16. Far less than 50% - Coventry squad cost less than £2m in total. Can't imagine Luton's was much more.
  17. 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??
  18. “He never seems to have stayed in one job for long”?! What a strange statement. He is the longest serving manager in the Championship.
  19. 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.
  20. Hopefully waving goodbye - he’s too expensive
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Never had any issues reading or posting on my iPhone.
