We are not crap because of her, or because we are self funded, we are crap because we spent £50m+ on 7 or 8 players who just aren't good enough. £50M is more than enough IF the recruitment team do their job properly. This is solely on Webber, he deserves blame. You’re Nephew Tom and I claim my £5! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is solely on Webber, he deserves blame. £50 million is nowhere near enough , that gets you two of the top players from the Championship. We have to buy untested foreigners because they are cheap and as everybody can see you get what you pay for . This squad would struggle to finish mid table next season and once the parachute payments finish there’s no telling how far we will fall . Fully expect those down the road with their American backers to pass us by within 4 years . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,018 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Poor old Delia, 80 years old and receiving unwarranted criticism, we’re better than that. Hold on though a minute, she can dish it out too! She's a feisty one! 2. During an interview with the Daily Telegraph she once said, of her then-rivals Anthony Worrall Thompson and Gary Rhodes, “Actually I hate Gary Rhodes' programmes and I think that Anthony Worrall Thompson is worse: he is dreadful, just repulsive.” And it didn’t stop there. She said, “I am not some prim Brownie pack leader - in fact I am a bit of a b****. I like to sit down with my friends and have a really good b****.” We’d much rather be in Delia’s gang than out of it, that’s all we’re saying Edited January 13, 2022 by Midlands Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,776 Posted January 13, 2022 5 hours ago, hogesar said: Yeah, spot on. Some of the posts in here back up exactly what I've been saying about a portion of the Delia Out mob. And they wonder why the majority of fans can't get on board with their views.. So those that want Delia to either quit or sell up are part of a ' Delia Out mob ' . I presume you are part of the mob that doesn't agree with that view then ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His view is that it is simplistic to regard the fanbase as irrevocably split into that kind of fixed Manichean Dualism. Rather, he believes in using an empirical dialetic process to arrive at a synthesis of his initial beliefs and those of the counterparty in the discussion.

Indy 3,307 Posted January 13, 2022 Come on guys, it’s a forum, we all have views, admittedly some strong language isn’t needed, additionally derogatory responses just starts the entire process to degenerate……let’s be civil and have a laugh long the way!

Yes I don’t get that, I get that there’s passion from both sides and reality is we all have different expectations, personalities and we need to stop think before posting certain things! I’m to blame at times, recently I’ve tried to be more level and not bite! But some do jump on here and post to get a bite or get the debate into an argument! Really it’s a good platform in challenging times to debate as we all want success some have a lower target than others, the youngsters probably do look up at the likes of Leicester and want to see our club aspire to that, who can blame them. Others are happy in the grand scheme of things…..but we’re all sensible enough to talk like we would in the pub! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a Norwich fan refers to Delia as an old hag, makes 'joke' comments about her dying; then to me they're pretty scummy people I want no affiliation with.
