Tbh Robins probably wouldn't want too much for fees to pay other clubs The big advantage is to have more budget for wages At this level even the best of the experienced players at other teams are on fairly short contracts so offering good wages and bonuses is the key to success in L1 and L2...

That's true Like you I haven't seen this contract but Chris Anderson said at the time it included lots of add ons that would pay out over the years Normally these would be PL appearances, England caps and so on As these haven't happened yet they would normally carry forward The % of the sell on...

The signs are that the penny has dropped with the owners and they realise the manager and staff need to be backed to achieve the success they need before they can sell the club

The contract when he was sold by us would dictate things Say it was 4 years and Madders refused any transfer away from Norwich everything would be null and void at the end of 4 years

Such clauses are added to the deal when Norwich sell him So in the case above if he's sold to Southampton and plays for England during his time with them Saints have to pay either Norwich who would pay us or pay us directly depending on how the contract was worded

I suspect whoever offers the deal with the biggest element up front will be most attractive to Norwich They based their budget on getting promotion last year so they may well be desperate for cash Mind you Madders can always hold out for what's best for him

I suppose so but wouldn't recommend following me on Last time I backed us to win L1 we were relegated

Just had £10 each way on us to win League 1 next season with William Hill

It's more that I don't want to scupper it if it gets out If it comes off everyone will be very happy and it will be a coup for Robins And no it won't require the sale of any of our players

Think Robins may have a surprise up his sleeve for rb

With JCH, Doyler and Kelly in the side there's no chance of our young team being bullied like it was in relegation year

If they do we shouldn't moan, it's a good news story

Did this lad play for us in a development game during last season?

This is interesting If he has pace I wouldn't be surprised to see Jordan Willis move on Declan Rice has been playing in the Premier League and Irish team at the same age Young central defenders with speed can develop very quickly if they have an experienced partner. In Davies or Rod he'd have...

Won't be surprised if that happens Apparently it all depends on whether Mehrez goes to City for silly money Then you will be able to outbid Everton for sure and Daniel Levy will never pay over the odds at Spurs

I suspect this is going to happen Chelsea have had the best U21 team for some time including plenty from the successful England age group teams Have a hunch we could use Viveash connection to bring in one or two of the very best youngsters with pace who are potential future full England caps Add...

Can't see anyone paying £40m for Grealish He's got a bit of baggage which most boards would take into account when sanctioning a huge amount like that I'd guess he'll go for less than half that as a downpayment with lots of extras that could reach what Villa want if Grealish hits the targets...

We seem to have a close relationship with Mickleover since Steve Taylor joined us from them

Please let's not let anyone moan if the CT pick up this story It's feel good stuff for a change - and a change for the better

Donated I'm happy for MMJ to decide who gets the ticket(s) One or two contributors on this forum have mentioned recently that they were struggling financially when someone made a slightly thoughtless post about how a true fan would always find the money for a season ticket IIRC one post said...
