cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted April 30, 2022 And yet people have jumped on me in the past for daring to suggest that we wont get good players for less than 30 grand a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danke bitte 965 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) It started with BK8 in fairness. How does doing due diligence get forgotten that badly? And now this… if true then Webber’s tenure is over with a bit of a mark after such early promise. This just sounds like me trying to recruit players for a premier league football club; I haven’t got a fkng clue so I’d just go on Google and see what comes up… Edited April 30, 2022 by Danke bitte Ballsed up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big O 225 Posted April 30, 2022 I think it’s pretty clear Webber and Ma****er had a fall out at some point as he’s been gunning for him for a while now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBaldOne66 681 Posted April 30, 2022 It says a lot about the owners too if they allowed Webber to go up a mountain when players were needed! Little old Norwich indeed with amateurs at the helm 😡 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted April 30, 2022 What next, we went to a few car boot sales incase a footballer or two was available? Amateur hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Bailey said something in his article about the loss of Kieran Scott having been a big knock on effect in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted April 30, 2022 I’m a bit dubious about this one, I have to say - we’d got our two PL loans so would have had to return them both in order to get two more…though o/s is different. The £30k thing is slightly misleading as most loans are subsidised by the parent club , we all know this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The optimist in me hopes it was because they realised what an absolute turd of a job they'd done with our loan recruits and were looking to rectify that. However, as we know, all was well so no problem with our main man answering the mountain's call. The fact that our Sporting Director ****ed off during the transfer window shouldn't be believable yet happened, so I refuse to completely dismiss these rumours out of hand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted April 30, 2022 Webber, had so many believing his opening deeply critical early narrative of previous regimes that we p****d the money up the wall from previous promotions. That he was left with nothing and he would have to become a messiah and turn the water into wine. What Webber deliberately failed to acknowledge was that he inherited Godfrey, Maddison, Lewis, Aarons and the Murphies. All subsequently sold for many millions, with Aarons likely to be sold this summer...  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well was reported at the time by the pinkun guys that we were looking at loans from abroad during January. That's not the case at all, you think clubs don't pay the wages of loan players they sign??? You think we loan out all those players for free? Not a chance any premier league side isn't paying the wages for a player they signed on loan, might happen lower down the leagues where money is not so much.

Indeed, at Premier League level, clubs will be likely be paying a loan fee in addition to wages in most cases. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
