Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted June 20, 2021 The club might spring a clean break - and just stick a charity on there? Swansea got a lot of credit (but not money) for the local Uni so maybe UEA will get front of shirt ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,281 Posted June 20, 2021 Well finding a sponsor without any ickle skeletons in t'cupboard is always gonna be quite difficult.....The club needs to get its online inline roller blades on and get it sorted - and hopefully announce it pronto.....The tik tok of the forthcoming new season is tickin'...... I'm hoping it's Lotus, and I hope that the club also adopts this position..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand gambling companies, people see that logo while watching football, a ping goes off in their head and they make a bet, but even looking at the commercial road car side of their business, would anybody buy a car because their logo is on Norwich's shirt? I don't get it, I can't imagine they're paying us a lot, they're certainly not going to sell anywhere near even 1 million pounds worth of cars from the exposure they'll get. As much as many people have a problem with it, as a self funding club hopelessly out of our depth financially in this league I'd rather we went for a gambling company and topped up our transfer budget a bit, but that's just me, we already do plenty of community work and help a lot of people, I wish people were more understanding of the clubs position and what we're up against. I agree with your comments about Lotus, although there is prestige associated with sponsoring a premiership club, how much is that worth? I don’t agree that we should sign a deal with the devil to just stay in the premiership. I would rather have a strong top championship with a valuable brand association than to drop to lowest common denominator to stay in the premiership, and I assume the outcry from fans means that the majority felt that way. it is concerning that we have not had any incoming players yet, although those transfers which have happened are not financially out of our league, it is the ambition which probably puts the players off coming here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,722 Posted June 20, 2021 1 hour ago, FatCanary said: I went a bit far on Mr Moore in terms of what the EDP are comfortable staying up on an Archant site goes. I'm glad he paid Huckerby's wages but he's dined off it since, there's a lot more anti Norwich stuff I could allege about him but there's not really any point. Bloke's a tool. Why do you always assume that someone is out to get you Til? I have nothing against old Plod or yourself. I was just going in on Carl. All i did was point out that the transfer window of 2003/2004 was funded by a share issue in order to get Huckerby, Crouch and Harper to the club and that subsequently the chap who you do not hold in high regard paid a large portion of Huckerby's wages. I was curious as to why Mr. Moore turned anti club and by the way my views on him as a person are much the same as yours. Your assumption that i think someone is always out to get me on here cannot be a serious remark surely and if you think i get rattled on a football forum by posters hiding behind the mask of anonymity you obviously have never met me ?

We must have been at least a bit at cross-purposes. I was specifically talking about the winter window that season being the most ambitious ever, not the preceding summer one, with Huckerby, Crouch and Harper, which was indeed helped by funding from the share issue. The point about the winter window was that there was probably not much share-issue money left over from the summer but still the massive strengthening of the squad was authorised and arranged. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
