Pinks 0 Posted August 15, 2008 ..and asked for an explanation of Delia''s outburst at the RNS?It does appear that she was either mocking or pi$$ed (again).Or did she really believe the clubs transfers during the close season were going to impress that much that the whole money issue would be forgotten?Just wondered if anyone had sought an answer?

Mark Smith 0 Posted August 15, 2008 I don''t really know why people keep banging on about these comments she made at RNS. It''s just a case of people putting 2 and 2 together and making 5336. At the time I felt there was nothing in it, and so it proved. Understandable that people thought there was something in it though, since it was the height of summer transfer fever and everyone so much more hopeful then...

Mark Smith 0 Posted August 15, 2008 I refer you back to what I wrote in June then.I''m quite mystified how so many people think that a few carefully considered words by Delia suddenly means we have investment. I''m sure she was quite surprised to be questioned by Goreham on the subject actually; it''s not often that our local media ask questions like that. She was probably trying hard to give the most ''diplomatic'' answers. She''s not likely to come out and go "we''ve not got anyone lined up to bankroll the club" because obviously that would have been as detrimental effect as saying we had. I don''t perceive this as such a ''landmark'' moment as others had. Yes, Delia herself may not have spoken about investment in this way before, but the club policy (regularly trotted out by Neil Doncaster) is not to discuss how much money we have. This is not news. She only really seems to be repeating what he has been saying for years now. As for the throw away "Oh there''s lots of lovely new investment" line, I''d consider it just that: a throw away remark. She seemed to be in quite a ''jovial'' mood, so I''d find it hard to read anything into what she says, other than deflecting questions in a jokey way. Anyway, as you say, I guess we''ll have to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Do you really think Delia''s words were both carefully considered and diplomatic?After a close season of snuffling around the bargain bin with as it transpires highly modest transfer funds it appears to me that Delia''s words will have left city fans with nasty taste in their mouths. I am damn sure she knewwhat we had to spend when she trotted out her ill thought words.My point is Mark not where is the investment she talked about is but why rub salt in a nasty wound by mentioning non existent funds.It was always going to bite her on the ar$e Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 686 Posted August 16, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/7474748.stmYou can listen again to her ramblings at the RNS from 1:20 onwards. The way I see it, she is clearly bullshitting, but I can see why it has wound the fans up - why couldn''t she keep her gob shut? Why go on about "all the money we have got", when we clearly have none? To me it sounds like she was awkwardly trying to get out of his probing questions by answering with any crap possible, just to get him to shut up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
