Thecanaryfan 0 Posted December 13, 2008 “If he can get four more Sammy Clingans I vote him manager of the year.”This to me sounds like Roeder will have a fair whack to spend in January (fair whack by Norwich City standards that is: £400/500k probaly). Where this money has come from is anybodys guess but I suspect one or two players may be departing to make this happen. With Lita, Sibierski, Bertrand and Koroma departing I suppose we have less wages to pay and this would free up extra funds. Sounds posative though this. I would be delighted if we could bring in four more players who we can call our own. Four more Sammy Clingans indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icecream Snow 761 Posted December 13, 2008 I read it as Roeder will have money to spend, as long as the players don''t cost anything, which surely is the definition of not having any money....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston Canary 0 Posted December 13, 2008 To me, the title of this thread means Roeder will have been hired to (mis)manage some other team. We get promises of transfer funds every trading period, and it always seems to end in disappointment and loans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree with the second though. There has to be catch. To financially back the manager you need money. We dont have any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted December 13, 2008 I believe the only money we will have to spend in January is money we make from selling players ourselves, or sell-on fees from players such as Ashton, Green or Lewis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roeder will be financially backed with extra wages, not transfer funds. Though that isnt the case as the four loanees leaving in January no longer need paying. If the players arrive on frees the wage bill will actually be reduced because they wont demand the wages of the likes on Lita and Sibierski! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max 0 Posted December 13, 2008 I certainly do HOPE that we have money to spend in january, as our team at the moment obviously isn''t working to it''s full potential... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time to go Delia 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Think they are talking pennies thats why the 4 more Clingans reference because he was free , whatever money we do have you can bet Roeder will waste on another bunch of loanees from the Premiership . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
