King Keano

You just worry about setting up another go fund me for the fans to contribute towards paying for your academy again this season, paupers 😬

[quote user="Making Plans"]M&S, House Of Fraser, Toys R Us, Maplin, Carpetright, Homebase, Mothercare, Tesco, Asda, Debenhams etc etc etc, have all found out to their considerable cost that if you don''t give the customer what they want, at a fair price, then you are only going to go in one direction.The highest ticket prices in the Champs, coupled with poor performances & results, can only lead to a gradual but steady decline in attendances, reduced finances, selling the family silver and employing cheap Managers & players.We are already skint, the Academy is being proped up with public money, we have already sold off nearly every player who was worth anything, we already have a budget Manager, who is out of his depth, and a squad full of no more than average Champioship players who are not going to produce the results that the majority of supporters expect.Don''t take the support we have at Norwich for granted.[/quote] 😂😂😂😂

[quote user="Ben"]Or in reality, an owner who has consistently took money outBe it in interest, transfer fees handed over to other ME companies, or simply snaffling your training ground. Strange that this ''investor'' has let your pitch deteriorate so badly.That might explain why poorman road is not only half empty but is in such a sorry state.ps have you found the money to remove that tree growing out of your roof yet ?[/quote] Ahhhh yes - that owner that’s taking out money every season when in reality he’s pumping in 6m a season to cover the loses? He’s a terrible bloke isn’t he? Where does all your additional income go exactly? It doesn’t appear to be spent on your first team? With 30m+ in player sales and yet we’ve STILL spent more money than you to this stage and we’re still bringing in 2-3 more players whereas you’re attempting to sell another one. Makes no sense really does it?

[quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="King Keano"][quote user="CANARYKING"]Total number of home fans yesterday. So we have to lose 10,000 to get to that level.[/quote] You had 25k for the West Brom game including the away support, not 26k. I suspect there was 1-2k WBA fans? Already lowering numbers. That was your first home game as well, perhaps even less over the next week? Can you imagine when those numbers dwindle further the trouble you’ll be in without an owner ready to put money in?[/quote]Average attendace last season was 25,785. Attendance against West Brom.....25,114. Hardly anything at all and that during the summer holiday period when people are away. [/quote] So not 26k then?

[quote user="Ben"][quote user="kick it off"]Holty had been picked up by Forest though, Calderwood just played him out of position.Nolan has bounced around the League 2/non league borderline for most of his career. He only stepped up to league 1 level two years ago, and his stats don''t exactly jump off the page before Shrewsbury. Can''t say I''m especially worried about this one, although the scummers have been so deprived of any decent players being signed in the last decade that you would think they''d just signed Messi. The level of hype there is ludicrous. They''re still scraping the bargain bin but because they have more new faces than usual they seem to think every single one of them will be a cut above Championship level and they''ll romp away with the league.[/quote]the ironic thing is that the paupers are now doing the very thing that halfwits like King Binno was squeaking about on here.They are certainly moving on their higher earners - and replacing them with lower league ''hopefuls''. Nothing wrong with that, if you have the coaching staff to help them develop.However the difference does appear that the players on Hurst''s shopping list seem to be those who he has worked with in the lower leagues. No great problem, as he can do no worse than the hapless Jewell who took in all manner of hopeless cases and failing players. But it does point to a small scouting set up, as well as a threadbare youth system.So the lesson here my young farm hands is to keep an eye on your neighbours - as from kids for a quid, ST''s paid over the season to working within your means you have eventually followed us.Who knows you might even remove that bush growing on your stand - orwait for it........................................... get a crowd over 20,000 when it is not us playingor is that too much to expect ?[/quote] The only thing ironic about this is you calling us the paupers when we’ve outspent you this summer AND will still spend more in the next few weeks in the loan market. Yes, Waghorn has gone and we’re all disappointed about that, but unlike you when you’ve sold players this summer, we’ve invested that in the squad as a whole & we’ve probably got more strength in depth all over the pitch than we’ve ever had (CB aside) - especially when we get all our midfield fit again. In terms of the players we’ve signed, there is no guarantee if they will step up of course. However, I’d much rather sign a player like Jackson than spend out on a loan fee/wages for a striker like Rhodes who hasn’t scored goals for what 3 years now & even if he does do well, he’s not going to be at Norwich next season as you wouldn’t be able to afford him!

[quote user="Ben"][quote user="kick it off"]Not to mention their "best in the division" keeper who agreed a contract then refused to sign it as he was hoping for a better offer made a peach of a howler for their first today[/quote]A case of ''flapper'' Marshall.Watch Blackburn''s second. Hapless defending with their No 4 ball watching as were all the defenders, completely unaware of where the two Blackburn players were.As to selling on the cheap, a player is only worth what another club will pay for him. Unfortunately the dimwitted farmhands had been looking up the A140 too much and have worked themselves into a lather of stupidity and were talking of £10m-£12m.Lets hope they are not in the position where they have to clear their higher waged players off the books and replace them with lower league players. What would King Binno say about that.[/quote] I’m still waiting for you to spend the 30m you’ve received in transfer fee’s this summer? Where has it all gone?!

[quote user="Mr Benn"]Oh dearpoor king binno, never the brightestonly a couple of weeks ago you were squeaking about how we had a £20m shortfall, as to £8m I very much doubt, and Evans moving the money over to another group of his companies is hardly what we would call ''reinvesting''asset stripping more like[/quote] Yeah, but you told me that there was no 20m shortfall. So where’s the rest gone? Surely you’ll be splashing the cash sooner or later?

[quote user="Mr Benn"]appears Evans will have a few more quid in his pocket as Waghorn looks to be off(expect King Binno to be along soon to explain)[/quote] Suspect he will be off for around 8m which will be reinvested. Shame as he’s been excellent. Still wondering when you’ll be spending your money. Bought in 30m+ now and spent 4-5m? Where the rest of it? I didn’t think you needed to sell anyone...

[quote user="TIL 1010"]Can i just point out to you King Keano that jealousy is an ugly emotion.[/quote] I’m not the slightest bit jealous. He’s been sh!te for 3 years now....can’t see that changing with the way you play! Only have to look at Oliveira to see what happens with your playing style!

Alan Nixon, Sun reporter has suggested that you’re paying his wages in full plus a 1m fee. He’s been sh!te for the last 3 years - not sure that playing up front alone with no service is likely to change that.

Rumour has it you’re paying his wages of 40k a week in full plus a 1m loan fee. All of that for a play that’s scored 14 goals in his last 75 league appearances. Mental!

3.5m rising to 8m. Not bad for an injury prone player...

I actually think he’d be a terrible signing for you lot and that’s not me being bitter. He’s shown over the last couple of years that physicality he’s not at the same level he was 2-3 years back which is also reflected in his poor goal scoring return. Blackburn and Sheff Wed fans have stated how he’s incapable of playing as a lone striker (I can’t see Farke changing his system for you next season?) You’d assume you’d be paying fairly decent money for him as well. Not convinced he’s at all what you need! But, if it happens, time will tell!

[quote user="BroadstairsR"]This diminutive man dwarfed by a row of microphones, and slightly nervous in his presentation, has today won over the the ITFC faithfull in one short press conference by mentioning their "istry" (always a winner with them,) the blossoming youth on the books (as ever) and the need for new wingers (without a transfer kitty apparently.) To a man they are like children with a new toy at Christmas .... dim just ''aint the word? The scars of McCarthyism must run deep. However, I think I would prefer to enter the new season with our Daniel at the helm (of our club,) and saying that, whilst not being as traumatic as a wisdom tooth extraction, was not quite as easy as I would have hoped one year since.[/quote] 😂😂😂
