Mark Attanasio: Norwich owner focused on Premier League return

Norwich City majority shareholder Mark Attanasio sets a target of having a competitive Premier League team within five years.

Sounds like a re hash of past anorak owners.
Each season they don't get promoted means the selling of a couple more players to keep within FFP rules, until there are no more to sell.

It goes to show all that glitters ain't gold. Look at Bradford they had 2 seasons up there with players on big contracts and got themselves into alot of trouble, still in league 2 with good crowds nice stadium. I think the original big clubs will always be ok but for others that leagues a poisoned chalice.

Reading, Wigan, Bolton and Blackpool languishing in Div3 , Cardiff, Stoke and Swansea in our division and doesn't look like it did Luton any good, although it meant they could build a new ground, they still put plenty into the squad.

Not quite, Delia or more so her husband put a huge amount of their own money into the club to get them promoted a few times and give them a decent ground but couldn't take them any further so this American came in fully aware of the finances.
For me Norwich sum up the modern day flag waving fan, instead of appreciating what Delia and husband did, they wanted them out a long time ago because they wanted more money put into the club to , as though those 2 were stopping the progress of the club by keeping out investors, it would be like our lot complaining about the Berylson's.

A few years back I was doing a job for a bloke who was in the corporate/ marketing side at Southampton who said they need packed stadiums and the merchandise to get the money in and outside the top six clubs all struggle financially. It surprised me but I should imagine trying to stay up there means a lot more spent on infrastructure, state of the art facilities, training grounds, staff and all the hidden stuff most don't think about, so relegation is a major problem.look at us we still train in a park really, can't afford to build the training ground and have lurch multi tasking. Luton may get a new stadium out of it but probably alot of debt aswell.

“Have lurch multitasking” is my favorite sentence of the season.

tremendous record

You should read the match previews mate, we've been keeping a running total...

QPR have won eight of their last 52 games at Loftus Road, 13 of their last 59 to the start of the 22/23 season, and 15 out of 67 going back to January 2022.
