Early days but not looking good yet if were the owner/majority shareholder what would you do ? Sack the management and change the set up or stick with the current arrangement and bank parachute payand possibly secure NCFC long term, after all and new management team would like a bag of cash to spend.

Yeah, after our fantastic performance against one of the top sides in the world where we were maybe unlucky not to come away with all 3 points, I like to devote my thoughts to Norwich City lol!

Keep a 50% holding in Norwich, and take a 50% stake in Fulham. Then you’re guaranteed PL football AND promotion from the Championship every season, as your two clubs/investments continuously swop places.

They haven’t splashed the cash and they have won the Championship twice in three years. If TB hadn’t splashed the cash we’d be happy to be in the same situation. Give the guy the tools before you sack him, he’s done a great job imo.

They have a great business model:
Top of the Championship with great attendance £££££
Premiership parachute payments when you go down £££££
Supporters get to see Norwich play the best players/teams in the world ( I include the Albion of course).....Bonus (every other season)
Sell players/promote loan players......Maybe £££££
That with the usual Merchandise, why would you change anything...........you could be Burnley!!!!!

It's a fair question. This is a football forum.

It looks like they are prepared, presently, to yo yo, and hope to build slowly.

The owners can have only so much money from selling recipe books and shouting Letsby Avenue. The supporters seem to be on side.

It may curl up a bit if they carry on as abjectly as they have started, but it is still probably nicer to be a Naarwich fan than a Derby fan.

:thumbsup:

It's a weird world that makes this a sustainable business model.

Until for whatever reason they don't get promoted back one season. Then things look dicey.

West Brom have done it, and they have been really determined to not :shrug:

They spent £60m in the last window (more than us). They sold Buendía for around £30m, but they still shelled out quite a bit, overall. I’m sure their fans expected them to be a lot more competitive this season. But having said that they have had an exceptionally tough opening set of fixtures.

Just carry on. They’re a well run club in an age of states and billionaires. One time they’ll yo-yo and stay up, or they’ll yo-yo and stay down, but what’s the alternative. There is a lot to admire about Norwich. Delia is ok.

Delia & the Board just accept that they’ll forever be a yo-yo club and never in debt. Occasionally unearthing a gem in their scouting and youth system to sell on.

Not a bad business model.

This. Being a 'bounce' club ain't the worst thing in the world (as long as you keep bouncing, of course).

Not sure we can be to critical of a club not suffering huge losses or even turning a small profit.

Compared to our huge losses & being bankrolled by our chairman.

Could they perhaps have recruited a bit better ? Have they mismanaged contracts on some players like Cantwell? Yes. But they have their model and it works for them
