Worthington set for transfer boost

Norwich boss Nigel Worthington is set to be handed around £1.2m (€1.7m) to strengthen his squad during the January transfer window after shareholders answered an appeal not to redeem their options.

Holders of the 17,134 B Preference Shares in the Norfolk club, currently bottom of the Barclays Premiership table, are entitled to cash them in by October 1 each season the Canaries are in the top flight.
