Joe Kosich will not get a fee from Norwich City if he wants to help find new investment. That was the message from Canaries chairman, Alan Bowkett, after the American merchant banker claimed he had early interest in City from Stateside investors.

Joe Kosich will not get a fee from Norwich City if he wants to help find new investment.

That was the message from Canaries chairman, Alan Bowkett, after the American merchant banker claimed he had early interest in City from Stateside investors.

In a prepared statement read out by chief executive David McNally at last night's fans' forum, Bowkett said: "The American approach was by an agent who was trying to take a fee from Norwich City, just like a football agent.

"We have hired Deloitte Corporate Finance to manage our investment process and if Mr Kosich wants a fee, he should get it from elsewhere."

Deloitte are in the process of searching for new investment into Norwich, with the accountancy firm believed to earn payment based on the results of that search.
