super dave 0 Posted July 19, 2009 Just like I posted a few days ago mate. Neither Clingan or Russell wants to leave put the club wants them off the wage bill.Russell I''m not fussed about but it''s a tough one with Clingan.Do you keep him for 1 more season and lose him on a free or cash in on him now and hopefully improve the squad with a couple more players?Personally I''d go for the latter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
row 0 Posted July 19, 2009 how do you know they want to stay ? i''d keep him but cash in on rusty balls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestMidlandCanary 0 Posted July 19, 2009 Unless either of them want to stay, which it doesn''t appear they do, they should go. However, whether a team makes an acceptable offer remains to be seen. If they''d wanted to stay, they would be in Scotland now. I don''t see how selling these two epitomises a lack of ambiton, it reflects reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Walking Man 13 Posted July 19, 2009 Or...Perhaps the fact that they are on such big wages shows that the club were ambitious but now we have been relegated we cannot afford to have such big earners at the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted July 19, 2009 Well siad sir, could not agree with you more......if Clingan wanted to stay he would NOT have spoken to Coventry and ACCEPTED TERMS if he wanted to stay with NCFC. And if his agent hadn''t stuck his twopenneth in, he would be gone by now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

methcanary 0 Posted July 19, 2009 Just because he says `it''s out of my hands'' or `it''s the club''s decision'' doesn''t mean that he wants to stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I am leaving for better wages and the fact I think I am too good for Lg 1 /Norwich"I am actually fairly certain the club would keep him if he agreed to sign a contract extention............. But it would cost the club roughly 1.1 million for the 1 year if he walks next year like Croft did. (750K fee plus wages)Even if we win promotion he could still walk.......... he did that exact thing with Notts F to come here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted July 19, 2009 I never see City players outside of Carrow Road and I''ve been to Odeon twice in the last fortnight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 19, 2009 I''ve been to two different cinemas in the past three nights and I haven''t seen a single Norwich City player in either of them..... Okay, so these cinemas were in Manchester, granted, but if I had reported seeing Clingan in the East Didsbury Cineworld its just as likely to have turned out to be true as this little story..............I love the school holidays.

Willmeister 35 Posted July 19, 2009 If it''s a case that the club are worried that he will go for a free next season, then offer him another contract, if he signs great. If he doesn''t then let him go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 20, 2009 honestly think clinkers would stay if needs be, the thing is he is worth 750 grand and if he doesn''t agree at least a year extension, he might b worth letting go. I''d love him 2 stay regardless and provide ammo for the likes of whaley and hoolahan to scheme off, but it''s unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 20, 2009 AMC used to be my preference when I lived closer to town, and I go to the Odeon mostly cos my mate works there and I can get to see some films for free - saw Moon on Friday night, its absolutely brilliant, although it was spoiled slightly by Stefanovic sat right in front of me sulking.... Cineworld is closer, although its also more expensive and ultimately more shit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Peril 4 Posted July 20, 2009 "Clingan still has 12 months remaining on his contract at Carrow Road and Butterworth added: “You would like think we would be able to keep players like Sammy Clingan, but if he expresses a desire to play elsewhere what do you do?"http://www.givemefootball.com/championship/trio-of-clubs-chase-norwich-ace Why would Ian Butterworth lie ?

Desert Fox 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Cam,Are you implying that there is a disagreement as to who should pay for the agents fees. Assuming that neither Clingan nor the buying club (as has been reported in the case of Coventry) want to pay this fee, presumbaly our club has had the gun placed against its head. By this I mean is it the club''s decision whether to pay the fee in order to crystallise a receipt and offlaod a high wage earner. If this is so, this may be what Clingan meant - assuming that the OP''s story is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
