Nothing personal but whenever I read a post like this my first thought is usually, that’s Norwich being in the top 6 next season then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 7 minutes ago, pgmetcalf said: How? (By parties I mean SWFC and Rhodes) If he gets his confidence back and starts scoring goals again, his value will go up and it will be much easier to sell him if SWFC wants to ship him out. If he is kept, there is a good chance that he returns as a better player and scores also for us. He knows how to score goals, there is no question about that.

np pontefract Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It is perhaps significant to remember that many of the comments, currently aimed at Jordan Rhodes, we're previously aimed at Atde Nuhiu. ............ Eg, " not good enough" "I'd drive him there myself" "had plenty of chances" "Should never play for us again" "too slow" "we need better" " he needs to go""best for everyone if he goes" Bla,Bla,Bla.. Just a thought to ponder over. in many cases, it is the same people who are responsible for these comments. Up the owls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 i Don’t think this will be last departure, if some of the posters figures are correct we are £30m down over last two seasons with £39m to play with. Last season saw £20m losses meaning we need to almost half expenditure or reduce by 10m or so. So if weve brought in 3m through Hunt and Rhodes fees (unsure if sales are spread out like purchases), reduced wages by 70-80k with those two, Loovens, Wallace, Keen going that’s another 3-4m. Still leaves us 3-4m in a hole? Who else could go? Lots of players in last year of contract so if they are unwilling to commit I’d expect them to be potential outgoings. Westwood, Jaoa, Bannan, Lee, Hooper. Winnal cant likely go until January due to injury. But could go for a profit you’d expect. Talk of Abdi leaving to go home has gone quiet, that would have helped you’d have thought. Keeo hearing Fox and Palmer but neither have any resale value and their wages aren’t problematic.

NOT jack whitham Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 While i do understand our problem with ffp this is a stupid move by Wednesday, i believe Rhodes could have rediscovered his form working with Jos and following the new fitness regime, time will tell i suppose but i have a strong belief this is a decision we will regret.

Purse strings seem to be a tad tight at Hillsborough 11:32 PM - 9 Jul 2018 Not sure I understand that logic, we let Hunt and Rhodes go for maybe over £3.6m plus wages, yet we need to let another player leave to be able to sign one player on loan?

Beholder Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 What Norwich have isnt our concern. Our only concern is getting our wage bill down by letting a surplus misfiring striker leave for a loan fee and wages covered. He was never gonna be in front of our other strikers in the pecking order, all of which do more than score. They all contribute in other areas of the pitch which he lacks in. This is a good deal for everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also called Sam Smart before anyone else. He’s also claiming Palmer is interesting Bolton but will sign a new deal. Just keeping you Nixon naysayers updated. Yep, and broke the news about Hunt before anyone else. Yet people reckon he just makes stuff up in the hope that some of it comes true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaOwl Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 6 minutes ago, casbahowl said: So your whole premise is based on some Owlstalk posters “figures being correct “??? Applied logic in this case. We know what the losses are for the last two trading years because they have appeared in published accounts. We know the maximum permitted losses in a rolling three year are 39 million. Hence, arriving at a ballpark figure for this year's losses is not that difficult to estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure - I'd hope in Jan too, as that's earliest we could cash in on Winall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
