I was surprised to hear Derby gave Gary Rowett a 3 1/2 year deal today, that could be a costly mistake.

Maybe to stop the likes of Stoke Nicking him.

Since? Really? Struggling to think of a midfielder we’ve signed since we sold him who’s better than him while he was our player. Maybe Jody on this seasons form but certainly not last season in league one.

If we kept Wilson, Maddison, Christie, Turner, Westwood, Thomas, Keogh, Dann, Fox we would've won the Champions League!!!

You have no way of knowing we would've avoided relegation or been successful in promotion during the time he was with us - it's ridiculous to think one player can make the difference to a team game unless they're in the Messi/Ronaldo bracket. Selling players is life for lower league clubs so you can could've, should've, would've all you want but the fact of the matter is we're a player selling club - as are the majority of clubs in 2018.

Exactly the point of FFP, but resistance to fiscal prudence is strong in some (ambitious) quarters.

I think you've hit the nail on the head
The players contracts in the Championship are insane compared to League 1 and the revenue it's possible to earn even if the club has a great season
The clubs are all gambling on winning promotion
As only three of them can the rest of the teams are risking everything

That's the thing, what happens if you have an owner that funds the losses for a couple of seasons yet they don't go up and they then decide they don't want to plough more in and want their cash back?

I'd get rid of parachute payments, it might help get rid of the yo-yo clubs and make it fairer.

It's sort of what looked to happen at Leyton Orient where they were paying players 5 figures a week.

Would Norwich sell to a rival Champ team? I heard Huddersfield were in for him which may be more plausible.

Norwich were under financial pressure to sell a player. Now Pritchard has gone for 12-14 million depending which news outlet you believe, I think we will be waiting for the summer before we get our windfall.

The parachute payments are ridiculous teams should be punished for being relegated not given bundles of cash.

One of their local rags said they were under no pressure to sell so I am not sure that is totally correct.

Exactly, players should have wage clauses so if they go down their wages do as well to make it more sustainable. Maybe a buyout clause too where they can go if somebody wants to buy them which then will help the relegated team re-build.

The cost of Championship football - Norwich City accounts show loss of £2.7m

Better Days posted this on the previous page. This report by their chairman basically infers that if in the event promotion is not successful this season revenue will have to be sourced from other avenues (player sales)

10% would be about right, I find it difficult to believe we settled for anything less. But you never know with CCFC...

These accounts show the performance between 16/17, however Norwich have since sold Jacob Murphy for £12, halved their wage bill with high earners like Ruddy leaving.

A lot can change from June 17.

Really? Can't see it being that high, as nice as it would be. Hopefully we have a higher sell on fee and none of the England cap clause nonsense.
