Doncaster - No need to sell players
By Richard Balls
Norwich City chief executive Neil Doncaster reassured deflated fans last night that the club was under no pressure whatsoever to sell any players.
In distinct contrast to some recently relegated clubs, Norwich budgeted for relegation and were in a very strong position to hold onto their star players - should they wish to stay, he said.
Wages at the club are governed by a divisional pay structure meaning that every single player and member of the senior management and coaching staff will all suffer pay cuts as a result of relegation.
It is understood that reductions in salaries will vary from around 20pc to 50pc, reflecting the kind of rises that were paid out upon Norwich's promotion last year.
Mr Doncaster said Norwich was the only club playing in the top-flight which had such a policy in place and would not be saddled with the kind of crippling wages that have in the past led to financial problems at other clubs
WAS HE LYING THEN, OR IS HE LYING NOW?
