blahblahblah 2 Posted January 25, 2008 If Taylor signs for West Brom blame Glenn Roeder. It''s his budget which he agreed when he took the job, and his valuation of a 29 year old player who will be out of contract in the summer. It''s more than abuot just Taylor - as Roeder has said, he needs to spread the money out to bring in as many new faces as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete_norw 0 Posted January 25, 2008 When the Turners first arrived I was full of hope and looked forward move towards the Premier league, But it seems that they are only here for the ride on the EGO roundabout, and it must look good on thier company headed news letter as Joint Director''s of Norwich City,But I fail to see how a life long fan with the wealth that they have can sit back and do nothing to bring in players to get us promoted. you can''t tell me that the new owners of Man U LIVERPOOL QPR LEICESTER AND EVEN CHELSKI are life long fans of that club,they are nothing more than just big time investors, perhaps the Turners have got the wronge Idea, because they are not Fans of our club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he really wanted to he''d be here by now... like i have been saying for the past 4 weeks.. he didnt say "I''ll only sign for Norwich" he made a plea to other clubs to go and sign him for Birmingham.. find me where he said he would ONLY sign for us. jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jetstream 0 Posted January 27, 2008 "ALL loans were offered at interest free return. To my knowledge most of the loans have been converted to shares."Delia''s loans have been converted to shares but I''m not sure the loan from the Turners has.The ''Turner'' loan is actually a loan from their company and is interest free - repayable only under certain conditions: in 2012 (I think) or if we get promoted to the Prem, or if Delia/MWJ share-holding drops below a certain percentage (see last annual report).

Big Down Under 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Angels, the Turners are ASSET rich not CASH rich. Two very different things. Proportionally, they have given a far larger proportion of their available cash than you give them credit for.To explain, the club is also fairly asset rich, in owning our own ground, training facilities, other land etc. But as a club we are cash POOR because of the expensive business we are in, and the loans we have. Hence the lack of big signings.Blah explains the ''point'' of the Turners well so I won''t repeat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
