    Monty, from what seems to be Cantwell’s perspective there would be absolutely zilch for him in what I talked about, and I would  be amazed if went ahead with it. My point only is is that if he does a softball interview with only his side of the story being told then that will do nothing to answer the questions fans have and just prolong the nonsense.

    I would imagine it would be very similar to the interview TNC did with Bassong. Which is mainly Bassong talking unchallenged and the Reeves nodding. Not that I really blame them, because Bassong wouldn't have agreed to the interview otherwise, but still.

    I'm not a massive fan of their interviewing 'style' or 'persona', maybe? I'm not even sure that's the right way of putting it. I think they've hugely improved though. Some of their content has been great viewing.

    I think there is a significant amount of jealousy from older fans on here in particular, towards two fans who have turned their hobby into a genuine career.

    Personally I don't really care. If they've put the time and the effort into getting the guests, then fair play to them. But as others have said there's only so many hours in the day and I've never found their interviews particularly interesting or insightful.


  3. When asked to explain Cantwell's omission from Norwich’s matchday squad earlier in the season, Farke said: “Sadly I have to say with Todd the last couple of months, I can’t remember one full training week when he was available for the full week. He has missed too many sessions for personal reasons, or problems with his Achilles and ankle.

     

    “He has to make sure he is working so hard to find his fitness level. You cannot afford to be out for two or three weeks, train a day or two and then be available to shine on this level. It is not possible.

    "You can’t press a button. Maybe two weeks of full training with no setbacks, to bring that quality and consistency and fight your way back.


  4. Cantwell made the XI in Smith’s first game but what followed was 45 minutes to proved just how far off the pace he was by that point. Josh Sargent replaced him at half-time and Norwich won a Premier League game after being behind for the first time in five years.

    His only other start under Smith came in the 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa, when Norwich now would have preferred to have pushed for postponement given their illness and injury issues. Cantwell’s reaction to being substituted on 61 minutes was to head straight down the tunnel.

    Smith has since spoken publicly about conversations he has held with Cantwell regarding social media usage and keeping his focus on what is being demanded of him from his coaching staff and team-mates. New first-team coach Liam Bramley spent several minutes speaking to Cantwell on the Vicarage Road pitch after the team were informed of Smith’s 20-man squad for the game, which did not include Cantwell due to how he had trained in recent sessions.

    I don't know the source of this which would have been helpful, but the £20,000 figures seems extremely unlikely. We spent £66 million on wages that season. I know this includes non playing staff and bonuses, but it is still almost impossible to reconcile this with a statement that only one player is on £20,000+

    Perhaps he meant only one player on £50,000+?*

    * Swiss Ramble estimates the bonuses to be c£12 million, suggesting £54 million on "normal" wages.

    It's from Michael Bailey's end of season report in the Athletic from when we went down the first time in 2020, when he was given detailed reports of the club's finances by club sources, maybe even Webber himself.


  6. From Michael's Bailey's piece in the Athletic on the 2020 relegation (lower basic wages with big bonuses on promotion)

    That’s relegation confirmed. Who loses out?

    Every player at the club has a relegation clause in their contract that will reduce their individual salary and bonus structure for the 2020-21 Championship campaign.

    The upper limit of those reductions is 50 per cent for Norwich’s highest Premier League earners. For the majority the reduction is towards 30 per cent. How hard each player is hit will depend on factors including how likely promotion was at the time their deal was signed.

    While there has been room to negotiate the size of Premier League uplifts, Norwich have made a point of keeping to tight figures on salaries that activate in the Championship. It is understood only one player next season will earn more than £20,000 per week.
