'Norwich City bucking the trend'

[Brian Badonde 0]

Strange article given that Norwich dropped a league and still spent a huge amount on agent fees. I wonder if the article would have been headlined this way if Lambert had not blasted Archant earlier this week. For the record we dropped a league but still spent almost the same as the previous year and certainly a fortune for the league we were in. Ultimately it worked this year, but the tone of the article is certainly flowered up for the benefit of the club.

don''t forget we had ''two sets'' of signings namely being Gunn''s failure signings and Paul Lambert''s filling the gaps signings.

I''m a firm believer we need to forget about last season and move on. We''re currently under a new era at Carrow Road and as D-REAM say ''Things can only get better''

The season before, they spent £500k, so we spent less last season despite a huge number of deals going through.Meanwhile, "Football League

clubs spent £12,739,867 on agents'' fees - a £3.9m increase on the total

outlay in the previous year."So to reduce our outlay by around 20% in a climate where the trend is for around a 50% increase (from around 8.8m to 12.7m), is certainly NCFC bucking the trend.Also, you could consider the "huge amount" we spent as money well spent, given we won the league.Oh, but hang on, it''s the Pink Un message board.Boo!  Sack the witch!  Archant are puppets!  [:@]
