Why I Hate 'Smith The Hypocrite'.

[First Wizard 0]

Because that what she clearly is!.

I attended a forum at Gt Yarmouth way back when Mike ''God'' Walker was here for the second time. On the panel that night was that cook called Delia Smith.

She was asked by a suppporter whether or not it was a bad thing for one person to have total control of a club by holding a majority shareholding. Remember, this was soon after Chase.

She answerd very quickly with a very clear ''NO'', she then went went on a rant about how we have just suffered the awful results of one person (Chase) with that kind of power.

THIS IS FACT! It was said not 15 foot in front of me and hundreds of other City fans were present too.

Smith!, you''re a hypoctite, and thats not all.......................other things have also been said by her, ''expect a flurry of transfers'' etc, and just two players duly arrived!..............there is another word for that................but I''ll refrain from using it.

And this woman thinks she owns this magnificent club of ours, well I''ve got news for her, she doesn''t, our superb  fans do. She''s just a custodian of it, and she''s making us a national laughing stock, and destroying the clubs fine football reputation, because her catering empire comes first!.

Thats why my hate for her won''t go away, it''ll go away, when she does!.[:@]

Thats nice to know Mr Wizard, maybe you should cast a spell on her [st]

I think you need a nice cup of tea. [:D]

Sorry mate but I think you''ll find that as she owns a large amount of the clubs shares she does basicly own it ! If you want the fans to own it why not start a fans consortium to aquire the majority shareholding ?

I''m sure a lot of people would back you up in that !

She is the majority shareholder and therefore by proxy is the owner of the club.Without the finances she and her husband have put into the club, we''d have potentially gone bust following the Chase debacle. As for destroying out fine football reputation, in real terms, we don''t particularly have a fine reputation, aside from being seen over the years as a club with a good attitude, that for a couple of seasons played some great football. There''s no major trophies in our history, no European cups, no back to back top flight league wins, so how is our current performance in reality, particularly any worse than normal - taken over the full course of the clubs history?If as you say the club IS owned by the fans, then I presume you can advise who is representing us in this respect, and you can then also advise exactly how much each of us - as owners, needs to contribute into the club to get the players in that we clearly need?I''d also like to know how I am a part owner of this club but have never been consulted even once on the running of the club or potential transfers, can you advise who I need to speak to about this? Perhaps we should speak to Malcolm Glazer @ Man Utd, to see how they collate the finances and views from their prjoected 75 million fans (or should I say owners?) worldwide. I presume they all pay £1 per season thus immediately giving the club - that they as fans own, £75 million per year as a transfer budget? Is it really that simple? Do we just need to generate 10 million or so fans for the club over the world, thus giving us a very healthy income and budget each season?

I hope she remembers to keep the heat to simmer rather than boil while making us this "National Laughing Stock"...

I don''t agree she is a hypercrite for what she said. Wouldn''t it be the same as asking if a Prime Minister has too much power? Whether they are a good or bad Prime Minister is surely more important.

Also didn''t Delia bring in the share issue, which puts some power / club ownership in the hands of the fans. And didn''t she get two new investors in this summer, who will no doubt have a say? Isn''t Mr Wynn Jones a majority shareholder too?

What is slightly odd is that it has taken quite this long for Wiz to put this into words on here, the incident to which he refers must have been over 5 years ago!

With you all the way on this one Wiz...and thank goodness some of us can think for ourselves.

As you so rightly state...Smith does not own the club.....the long suffering fan''s do. As I have stated on here numerous times...without her we would still have Norwich City Football Club in whatever mess she leaves it in. Without us she would have empty stands and racks full of unsold merchandise....So who actually needs who to survive? The answer to that is very simple indeed.

She and her cohorts may well have pieces of paper claiming ownership....but the spirit will always belong to the fans and that is beyond purchase.....for most of us anyway.

People have often asked me why I hate and loathe this woman Branston, and I''ve never really explained myself properly as to why, well, now you all know!.

And her ''expect a flurry of signings'' quote is only approx 8 months old by the way!.

[Syteanric 1]

whilst being sceptical of the board, and not fully convinced they will back Grant 100% to the level that he wants, and also being of the opinion that they are investing in off the field activities when the playing staff needs improvement i would like to point out that Delia hasnt actually lied...

1 person isnt in sole control of the club.. 2 people are.. her and her husband are joint majority share holders...

and u couldnt run a football club without someone owning the Majority of it... look at the buyout of Man city thats going ahead at the moment....

jas :)

Only eight months, feels like a life time. What about  '' a flurry of bulls***'' that sounds about right. Maybe it should be the new corporate identity for the NCFE directors''. NCFC PLC ''A Flurry of bulls***''

I can back you up on every word of that WIZ...

I remember her making the same remarks about Chase at a Public Meeting at Carrow Road a day or two before Mike Walker was actually sacked....

I must admit that I asked some very difficult questions that day that Delia, Munby & Co tried to brush under the carpet in the usual way by saying "hoiw many games have you been to this season" and "why aren''t you a season ticket holder" to laughter amongst many of the sheep in the crowd when I gave my answer of "about 10 games".....

Then they sat there ummmming and ahhhing and fumbling for excuses when I told them that I was a Student living in Leeds at the time and that comparitively speaking the money that I had spent on watching the club that season alone was probably comparitive in terms of what I had than what Delia & Co had actually invested from their healthy looking bank account...

I would of thought that wey back then this board would of learnt that their PR bullsh*te just does not wash with some people.

One season of investment and success in 11 years of miserable tenureship of Delia, MWJ''s, Munby & Co...  a very por record in anyones book!!!

SUCCESS FROM THE MOMENT THE FIRST BALL IS KICKED THIS SEASON OR MOVE ON OVER GUYS AND LET SOMEBODY ELSE FROM OUTSIDE NORFOLK HAVE A GO.

I''m not sure I see how we can beat Delia with the ''no one person shold be in charge'' stick (which as said above isn''t strictly/arguably true).

Yet plenty of people have stated how they''d be happy for someone/anyone to come in and take control of the club. The first thing they would do is enure they buy as many, if not all, of the shares available. that would be it. It would be theirs. End of.

Can you have it both ways? Probably...
