kdncfc 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Refuse to get excited, I don''t think Stephen Fry is rich enough to make a big difference but he probably knows a lot of wealthy people so hopefully there''s more to it that meets the eye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted August 13, 2010 kdncfc think you may be right, which is why I can''t get excited, been here before, got the t-shirt and been burnt. Although if it''s investment then I will be just as happy to woop-woop lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 13, 2010 Maybe this is possibly where some money came from?In theory, we have spent over 2 millions, with 600k for Jackson widely known, but also apparently (tying in the with russel article this morning) 1.2 million on Surman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lincs CR 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Not loads but some money will be invested I imagine from him, very high profile figure, very very passionate Norwich fan, I''m sure he knows a lot of influential people who could help out in terms of business, corporate events, fund raising. All in all can only be seen as a positive appointment :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Against that, Fry is a busy man, and it''s not easy to see him fitting in yet another activity.[/quote]The club are stressing his ambassadorial/cheerleading role rather than a hands-on executive role, which would make sense given his busy schedule.As to whether he might be investing, there are (or were) nearly £1m worth of shares available, so he might be buying some of those.

Lincs CR 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Just being discussed on Radio Norfolk, he is not necessarily here as a money giver, more as an ambassador, and as one of the worlds most popular figures at the moment this can only be a very positive addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
