Gentleman Jim 0 Posted December 6, 2004 What should we read into this statement then ?"In announcing their latest set of accounts, the club''s finance chiefs repeated the fact that the £1.2 million saved when supporters opted not to redeem their Preference B shares is there, sitting at the manager''s disposal.Given the level of income City now enjoy in the top flight – in the same breath Norwich''s financial controller Shaun O''Hara was revealing that the club were expecting to record a £6.5 million profit on their activities over the 2004-2005 financial year – it is safe to assume that Worthington will have more room for manoeuvre than that. Expect all sorts of smoke and mirrors to be at work over the next three weeks as Norwich try to keep everyone guessing as to exactly the level of funding at the manager''s disposal."

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Sorry Jimbo but i think you''re being too optimistic. Why would Worthington spend so little in the summer, to go and blow £3M or whatever in January? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westoncanary. 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Maybe he was told to be frugal in the summer, see where we are come January and spend if we need to. But, like all the talk at the moment it is mostly speculation and who could blame the board into putting a spin on things if it helps us get Dean Ashton (please). For example, you don''t buy a new car by telling the salesman exactly how much money you have, you make him work for the sale don''t you?Still gutted after Saturday....

Like many grown ups, I still believe in dear old Santa Claus, and he was very good to us last year I remember!.I think I''ll write him a letter again!.
