See I understand why Burnley disappeared on the 4 years worth of money

and came back to the prem this season in the what would have been the 4th year of parachute payments if they'd stayed down

Simple fact of the matter is, that's Burnley, their ground only holds 22,000 in a part of Lancashire that has catchment area support for much bigger teams (18500 average crowd this season)

Norwich are not Burnley, they don't need to downsize to come back. They have 7000 more average fans over Burnley, and at a constant, no variable attendances.

They simply don't need to be that cautious. Caution is ok, and fair enough. 100% caution when you're a club with expendable finances is almost bearable. But appointing someone with no experience was/is inexcusable

The fact they have form for doing this before, creates a vacuum of anger or mass derision. Unavoidable, yet holy predictable with past years to compare

If you hosted a dinner party, and you priced up all the branded ingredients to ?100 a head (Manchester Utd). You'd probably be savvy about it, get some branded stuff and some ingredients from the next level down "supermarket own brand, but tastes the same" ?50 a head.

Fans would accept that. So why drop vastly in quality to the basics brand that nobody likes? ?30 a head. Why would you do that and feed it to the majority like it's the same as a restaurant?

Those are the things the board claim to have learnt over a decade ago, but just simply haven't
