I see what you mean Tilly. 

Hopefully with a milestone birthday looming some maturity will arrive! 

I doubt it, it's not helped you.

Professionally speaking, I've never had any time for her as she is an opportunist. If she didn't have control, you would have never seen her for dust. She has done very well out of Norwich City Football Club in terms of publicity and the club owes her nothing. Quite why any football club would want those in charge not to invest or to attract investment is bizarre, so she is completely superfluous - together with MWJ - in that respect. 

We need owners that have the resources and/or contacts to invest in the EPL and most importantly - want to be there,. Our owners live in the land of Enid Blyton and Larry The Lamb.

NCFC has never been more than a shop window and a hobby for Smith and finally it is all about to crash down around her ears.

 

Of course she will soon take our club down with her but we can rebuild it without her help and with any luck a new ambitious owner.

I don’t hate her but I do hate the fact she still runs this football club. Maybe she won’t be smiling so much on Sunday when more fans than ever let her know it’s time to go. 

They should probably let her know on Saturday, might have more of an impact during the game 😁

Yeah but then you decided to third party this conversation and I got flashbacks of you and Til from last year!

Or maybe sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't. I'm sure you can comprehend that. 

It doesn't have to be all or nothing...

It's entirely up to me, but thanks for the advice. 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.

Be like suggesting all Delia outers are a mob...

Bless you, here’s one from your grandmother. 
 

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****.”

Of course, I don't expect anything less A. But it's not really the point. Unless you also didn't know how multi-quote worked, in which case fine, but I don't deserve criticism because other posters don't understand it - it's commonplace amongst other forums.

Yeah, but you spend your life anonymously sniping at people online behind a keyboard, trying to 'ride the back' as you so eloquently put it, of some posters who at least have a bit about them.

For the avoidance of doubt i am well aware how the multi-quote function works but then again you have decided i don't but just crack on.

Again have a nice day.

If things unfortunately deteriorate between the support and club hierarchy, as sure as eggs is eggs then be prepared for the likes of Mick Dennis and some 'others' to condemn the ungrateful boiled brain addled uneducated vicious vulgar and unappreciative howling mob of rabid mange infested vitriol spitting flea bitten fractious feral hounds who audaciously dare to say they support the club....(or summat like that, you get my drift).....As 'Mob' in itself, doesn't quite create enough impact....

I wonder if Mick or any of his ilk post incognito on here?....

**** Mennis, is he still kicking about? Thought he'd lost interest in kissing backsides long ago.

It's her club technically, and hate is a very strong word. I suspect you may not be real, maybe just a penis with a keyboard.

I think that Happy Clappers and Nappy Crappers was probably the zenith, although Wynnie's Innies has a great ring to it 🙂

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!

You’ve never said the same about Ipswich then!

Those potential buyers or investors clearly weren't that interested if it never became public knowledge 

Exactly. 

Fact is, as Parma said before, Norwich City as it stands is not remotely an attractive proposition to buy. And the paradox is because we're sensibly run in financial terms and don't have much debt, so we can't be got on the cheap.

If someone that wealthy wanted to buy, we'd be told in the press soon enough.

A realist. Nothing more than that although I know this runs against the grain with the Whatsapp mob on here.

 

Some of us remember life before Delia Smith stole the club's soul and that is where you 'new age' fans struggle to understand.

Though there’s some truth to that last statement, football in general has moved on and we’d not have the full houses we do without the new age fans!

It’s a **** position to be in, comfortable owners who aren’t hugely motivate to take any financial risk to try to push on in the premiership, fans who are so divided, it’s a funny club as if we take Newcastle and what Ashley did for them, yet still he got the message from the fans in no uncertain terms. Our fans are really divided on the whole owner situation, I bet if you polled it it would pretty much 50/50.

I agree that there is a big divide but it seems like the Delia Smith 'creationists' in are denial that life ever existed before she took over. They have a massive void in their understanding of the club and it's ethos and anyone who doesn't bow down to their thinking gets the childish playground 'pack on' by the usual suspects.

 

Bring it on as far as I'm concerned. 50 years a fan I can take it.

The result of any poll would likely depend on how it was framed. You might get 50/50 if it was a simple Delia In/Delia Out, I suspect those percentages might change if you had to present an alternative. Delia or...?

If a viable alternative presented itself and had a committed presentation of how they'd move the club forward and a further commitment to sustained investment in infrastructure and playing talent and how that would be financed and to what cost/risk to the club, I suspect the percentage in favour of that would be almost unanimous (as long as it was feasible).

But we don't have that, we have Delia or "dunno". As such, the poll would be asking stick or twist; I'm not sure half of people would vote for change that could be anything and if they did then they're nuts because it simply isn't the case that ANYTHING would be better, is it?
