you will be selling in order to buy that what it says on the website, they will give money for the transfer but any money made through player sales will be added on to the already 10-15 million transfer budget which is good for the club as you will e able to buy players you wouldn't otherwise be able to have, they wouldn't just give you money they dont have that would put them back i debt but giving CH the money from the sold players means you have a bigger transfer budget and don't expect him to spend it all as i reckon some of that money to be spent in the January transfer window, so 3-4 players will most probably come in to make your defense stronger but that's about it you have to thin about starting the season well before spending huge amounts of money because you have had a big disruption in the squad and that will impact them, CH has to think about making your defense stronger as that is where your problem lies, so i reckon he will make the defense strong with a budget of 10 million plus any sold players and then in the January transfer window work on the rest of the squad with what is left over from the pre season transfer window which should be around another 10 million depending on how much he spends this would be the smart option as the rest of the squad is good and doesn't need changing for now.

just a little post to all norwich fans going to glasgow ,im a celtic fan from near cambridge and have been traveling to glasgow most of my life and the city and its peaple are great but it has its bad elements as do all citys ,when you go up stick to the celtic pubs down the gallowgate and round the ground celtic look after and police themselfs and will not let anything happen to any visitors ,get ready to see a diffrent world of football passion, that runs beyond a support of a team its a way of life, good luck and enjoy,jodrok

Just a little note to Norwich fans, been to Glasgow numerous times with my team Newcastle United and we travel in our thousands. No bother in ANT drinking holes in Glasgow due to the fact that we mix well and wernt looking for bother.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

08 Jun 2012 18:42:06
I'm a Norwich fan and I'd just like to say how chuffed I am about appointing Hughton and how quickly we did it! I have a lot of respect for Swansea for coming to the Prem the right way but how long have you spent looking for a new manager to replace Rodgers? Personally I hope Laudrup gets the job and I hope Siggurdson decides to join the club not the manager(Rodgers)

Up the Swans and Canaries

David McNally has revealed in an interview that new Norwich manager Chris Hughton will be given the most financial backing and freedom to spend in the clubs history. This is solely down to the way that the club has been run over the past 3 seasons off the pitch, by McNally.

The debt was restructured and a plan set out to pay off the debt which will be completed in 12 months time. This season, based on these comments and the ammount spent last season, will give Hughton at least 15 million plus 100% of any player sales. (this is based on the fact Lamber spent close to 15 last year so we have at least equal to that, and sounds like it could be more.)

The future is bright, the future is Yellow!

I love reading all these delirious uneducated fans that think Charlton will struggle next season, with massively overrated teams like Leicester, Cardiff and Leeds supposedly doing well. League 1's top 6 are always better than the majority of the championship bottom tier reject teams, who can't pass the ball properly without the 3rd pass being a 'hoof' up pitch.
Also these people that think Charlton spent 'Loads' and 'Big', are also stupid with most of Charlton's players last year either being signed on free's or loan deals.
I also know that Charlton aren't in severe debt and WILL have a good/strong budget for this season which will increase for the upcoming seasons if promotion is found. FACT.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Leicester massively overrated? 1 thing i do know is that were 10 times better than charlton! Thats why you have our rejects that couldnt get in our squad..FACT

LeicesterLad

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm a Palace fan and whilst promoted teams have fared well in recent years, a lot still go back down after 1/2 years. I'm not saying Charlton, Sheff Wed or Huddersfield will but a lot of them believe because they got promoted, they can take on anyone in the Championship. At the moment Leicester, Cardiff and Leeds all have a bigger pedigree than the promoted teams.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pedigree means nothing, quality does. Charlton should be fine.

I've just heard from a usually reliable source who is close to one of the joint Chairmen that a new investor is to be announced within the next few days. The final detail on the arrangements is currently being agreed. Forget anybody from the Middle East however, the new investor is Scottish with previous links to the club in a non-playing capacity. According to the source, he is a self-made man with extensive business experience and will combine his role as an investor with an Executive role within the club. Only time will tell.
