Here. you said Cork is the reserve.

Utter boll*cks. You think a football club only has XI first choice players then everyone else is a reserve?

This can't be true. He is amazing, fast, strong and much better than Puncheon.

So we sign a future England centre forward and a right back and it's hailed as great business. man City sign a future England central midfielder and it's dismissed as mental and signing on players with no sell on fee. we are 7th highest spenders in Europe with no champions league money and not even an established top flight club. Chelsea are mad to spend big as they probably won't win th champions league this year. If oil suddenly runs out Chelsea go under, we'll be fine because of something about chocolate. Yep, your points makes total sense.

And also stopped negotiating at one point due to the demands. Would it be fair to say the fact negotiations were reopened and we ended up agreeing a deal with Penrol as well that he was determined to get this player?

Norwich have had to cap season tickets at 22,000. With 10% of capacity going to away fans as is required and the % which the FA had made clubs make available on a match by match basis, it's fair to say Norwich are right to consider expansion. When we are in the position to cap season tickets and are 98% full for a few seasons in a row then we will be.

Did it have a material that had stripes of normal material and stripes of shiny material running vertically down it?

So you don't know if he showed great restraint in sticking to our wages and budget system or not, the thing you were quick to give gushing praise for earlier. There was a third party also involved in the Ramirez deal which didn't seem to prevent that one happening did it.

Brilliant team. Wht a shame it never stayed together. Was in my usual spot in the Milton back then, 1/3 of the way up to the left as you face the pitch with my brother. Imagine how much a front 3 of Shearer, Le Tiss and Wallace would be worth now? Not forgetting the unsung Paul Rideout who was also a good player but probably a under rated because the other 3 were so good.

But would be prepared to break it in circumstances, such as Ramirez?

So in that case then you have no idea if Cortese has shown the great restraint in not breaking our wage or budget systems as you said he had.

No but the I hear they are all the rage with the skinny jean, Notting Hill types. Timeless style.

Still can't see how youre working that out.

Apologies young Andy. I had no idea you had access to information as to what our budgets and wage system is. Would you mind sharing them? Or at very least confirming that Ramriezs rumoured wages of anything between £35-£60k a week fit within those systems.

So just like Chelsea our owners are footing the bill. Something you don't approve of.

So with £30-£40m left for everything else and us already spent more than that on transfers and the training ground who's cover the difference?

What's your gut feel? Still dependant on our owners or self sufficient?

Hazard, Oscar, Ramirez. Can't see too many differences. All young talented players Who will have large sell on fees. Anyway, Our income may have grown by 7.5 times but how much will our expenditure have grown? Our training ground is costing more than our turnover in our league one days! We spent around £5m on transfers on our league one days, weve spent 6 times that in one window this season. I would hazard a guess that Rodriguez and Ramirez are on more money than an entire first team in our first season in league one. It's not just income that increases young Andy.

So you've confirmed premier league clubs have more income than L1 clubs. Well done. Which proves the point that the scale of Chelseas debt is greater. However,why is the type of debt written of different?

I'm still struggling with the concept that Abramovich writing off Chelsea's debt which went on players, infrastructure and wages is a different type of writing off debt to the Liebherrs who are writing off debt on infrastructure, players and wages. Perhaps you could explain?

How? They are spending on young players, investing in infrastrcture and writing off debt. Isn't this exactly the same stategy that we have?

You can use common sense though surely Andy? 7th biggest spenders in Europe??

How so? Chelseas turnover is around 17 times what ours was last accounts. They have also invested in infrastructure with their youth system and training ground. We've so far since our last lot of debt was written off spent £30m on transfers, £5m on a training ground and academy work and untold amounts on wages, running costs etc. When is the end in sight to our imbalance? Obviously their debt is on a higher level, but they also have far more income. They are also investing in young players, Oscar, Hazard etc. I'm struggling to see the difference, except with the scale of it.

I got a bit of a twitchy finger on the drive in this morning and was tempted to give it a go. Stuck with radio 5 though and listened to Nicky Campbell asking people to phone in on if a teacher sh*gging his 15 year old student was alright or not.

So when Abramovich writes off debt it's the wrong course of action and not something we should be doing, yet when Cortese does it it's planning to be self sustaning, yes?
