kdncfc 0 Posted January 10, 2005 The best thing is that he has signed a 3 and a half year deal with an option for another year, obviously intends hanging around for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 11, 2005 I think the length of the contract only reflects some desire to protect the investment of £3m+.My source (for once reliable!!) confirmed the fee to me last week (and posted on here) and also that Deano wanted regular first team football, which is why city appealed to him. However he does not wish to drop down a league if we get relegated so I understand that there is a clause in the contract the states he can leave in the summer if we do go down as long as another club matches our liability to Crewe. Clearly if he doesnt perform between now and May no one will be interested but it does show the boy has faith in his ability plus some ambition.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire canary 0 Posted January 11, 2005 Well we''d better just stay up then.Imagine the mood on here if we''re relegated and then Green, Francis and Ashton all go! We''d be back on the Board bashing bandwagon again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Notts Canary 0 Posted January 11, 2005 Surely not us Norwich fans we dont like to moan!!!! Fingers crossed he keeps us up but i doubt it very much. Think saturday is a must win game just in the sense that we can stay in touch with the teams ahead and drag them back into it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie b 0 Posted January 11, 2005 If there is an escape clause in his contract I, for one, would be gutted about this as surely the board want to keep the best with us for next season should the worst happen in May. That is why I don''t think the club would have allowed one to be put in. Also, if you read some of Worthy''s comments on Teletext this morning it sounds as if he''s looking forward to seeing Deano improve still further here for a long while to come. Hope so, anyway!
