Clubs like Norwich operate at a loss almost every year

Where do you think the 2 million is coming from?

The club have had to pay promotion bonuses and increased wages while in the Premiership and this will amount to a good few million.

We built the corner infill with cash from the Premiership and that accounts for a further 3 million or so.

The pitch was relayed at a cost of several hundred thousand.

We bought Ashton, Jonson, Helveg, Safri, Doherty, Ward, Gallacher and loaned Bentley. All these signing cost money in fees and/or signing on fees. There must be a least 5 million in that alone.

We bought Huckerby, Mckenzie and Svensson by gambling on potential Premiership money.

The 15 ? 20 million from this year doesn?t go very far when you take into account all the costs from the last 18 or so months.

The club can only spend the money it has.
