Big Vince 318 Posted December 20, 2016 I have always suspected that Delia is a closet Ipswich supporter so all this fiddling while Rome burns simply adds fuel to those suspicions.After all, she lives in Suffolk and is going to wait until the club is so far down the league it will be impossible for a new manager to reach the play-offs this season. Delia has never shown any real pride in the club as she too easily tolerates failure and surrounds herself with yes-men. Bowkett and McNasty were only hired because the administrators were knocking on the door in 2009.The club was a ritual laughing stock prior to McNasty and is rapidly heading that way again.It beggars belief that no announcement has been made on the manager when there is a ready-made shortlist of two recent former England managers and the boy Rowett to choose from as his successor.Board is not fit for any purpose.

Indy 3,300 Posted December 20, 2016 Oh really, stop now! Delia has he best intentions and if she wants to keep the club safe from rotten money then I''m behind her 100%.Young Tom fits the correct criteria for the next owner and has my full backing, good luck to the young lad. May he enjoy every minute as he did this Friday.We are a caring small club with a family focus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Len 74 Posted December 20, 2016 I''m all for keeping ownership of the club away from the asians and arabs. But the price paid for this seems very steep ie Wynn-Jones and wife. As if we weren''t already a BBC sitcom we''ve got Delia''s Alan Partridge nephew to look forward to.I''m just hoping Tom''s wife is kept at arm''s length and doesn''t demand a seat on the board or start interfering in a similar manner to his aunt.

Big Vince 318 Posted December 22, 2016 [quote user="daly"]You forgot Ed Prancing Balls[/quote]So what have the club got to say about "promotion, promotion, promotion" now, eh?It was just a lot of typical New Labour spin, as you would expect from this club. Totally without any foundation in fact or form.The sooner we are rid of all these plastic people at the club the better. Get in some people of real substance who say what they mean and mean what they say and can back it up and carry it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Wal 314 Posted December 23, 2016 If you really want to know who owns our football clubs check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_owners_of_English_football_clubsI found it quite enlightening especially when you delve into the many links on the site giving a little more information about some of the owners.Delia really is a pauper compared to some here but looking at the list I would still prefer her to some of her richer fellow owners.But, at the end of the day, I really don''t want to have Norwich City owned by people who have no affinity to the club.

It is about the owners having sufficient IQ within their combined craniums in order to form intelligent conclusions and judgements based on observations and to then translate that into the appropriate action.
