Clinton Morrison sums it up

[Samwam27 519]

As commentator for Amazon he and Michael Brown talking about where Norwich as a club want to be. Brown says do they back Smith to give him a chance, and Morrinson replies, 'No, i think they (rhe owners) are happy going up and down selling best players.

He's right about the owners, but im sure 26,000 fans disagree and want us to become competitive and stay in Premiership 

[Ward 3 371]

Delia doesn't care. She will when we go down and stay down for 7 or 8 seasons. Find it hard to self fund then. Rowe is the next one off our production line I feel. Fu.k idah he's utter useless. Start Rowe, nothing to lose 

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

The self funding model is a myth, a sound byte.

We have had EPL money for the last eight seasons. Where would we be without that.

Self funding is what you generate yourself not what the league hands you.

Of course all teams get a certain amount of TV money. Be we get a very good slice of it.

[Petriix 2,834]

I very much doubt we'll see another 'up' for a long time.

Its a model that relies on regular doses of Premier League payments and selling young players for a profit. Without it we are Forest, Stoke or QPR but without the rich owner.

The model is to ensure the controlling majority shareholding duo.....maintain their controlling majority shareholding.....

Bingo. 

It's funny to me when some fans hold it up as a source of pride or like we have some kind of moral high ground over other clubs who spend their owners money.

The club is set up to keep the financial pressure off of the owners.

Exactly this. It’s a self serving model imposed on the club to keep it within their families control

No. Self funding is what the league give you ... you've earned it via promotion.

What makes us self funding is that we don't have an owner who can chuck limitless bundles of cash on transfer fees and wages 

We spend what we earn.

Wrong. The model has given us two titles and guarantees financial stability to such an extent that we can go again after relegation .... unlike how things were before.

I suppose there's something wholesome about spending what you've earned rather than whacking oil/blood/**** billions on new transfers and buying success.

I get it though ... that's the modern game - as a Newcastle vs PSG Champions League final will one day prove.

The game's vulgar and perhaps we should just sell out to that.

It certainly appears that way. How would you fund our longer term stay in the top flight?

Yes! The club is far far stronger, from the roots up, to where it was before Webber arrived.

The proof of this is ........... don't you think it's odd that none of this criticism comes blaring out after we've secured promotion or beaten Huddersfield 7-0 etc? 

Sure things are rubbish right now but you don't burn down a city after a reported pickpocketing.

If you win prize money, then it is self-financing. We've been good enough to win the league and get the prize that is parachute payments. We haven't been good enough to move on from there. And we've done it whilst trimming down debt levels, upgrading our training facilities, and not having anyone to bankroll it.

As cra-ppy as it looks for us at the moment due to shoite results for most of this season, I'm sure most clubs would give their eye teeth to be in our financial position and with the improved facilities we have over the course of the last four-and-a-half years.

No it doesn't. Did you think we were guaranteed to go down when Normann and Rashica celebrated with Smith when the full time whistle blew against Southampton?

Don't blame the model that got us to Selhurst Park in the first place. There are many other things far more culpable.

Eventually it will. We're building from the roots up.

Clinton morrison is a barely coherent fool and brings nothing to the table as a pundit. But he's not wrong.

it is so Delia can hand the keys to tom without putting money in BUT

But CC you are right we spend what we earn and it and it has worked well cleared the debt built the training and given us two champs wins and two very bad PL seasons 

i think the wheels could come off if we were in the champs for 4 /5 seasons 

we would sell the family silver and try to get back up if we didnt for 4/5 seasons then it would rely on cheap signings and youth 

which did get us to where we are so it will be full circle 

i think the self funding works well if you recruit well when you come up BUT you have to stay there for at least a season then we would be on a roll and could keep the better players

Exactly, and if all clubs were forced to operate the same way, as they should be, then we might have an interesting football league to compete it instead of the awful reality TV show called the Premier League.

Who in their right minds wants another promotion and another season in the premiership with these owners? What's the point... rather we became QPR and Forest if I am honest.
