[/quote]I have to disagree TIL 1010, it seemed as she had a slip of the tongue, she definately said "she hadn''t had an offer up until now'', whether she meant what you suggest or not, still a topic for debate, as she obviously is prepared to sell.

NottsCanary 0 Posted December 4, 2009 To ways to read into what she said:-she has had an offer-she hasnt had one up till now, and still hasnt Gona be one of them, would she be so silly as to let it slip on TV? Probs not, but possible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blofield Canary 11 Posted December 5, 2009 I thought it was quite clear that she is definitely looking to slow her life down with one eye on retirement. She looks like making no more TV programmes or books and already she has taken a back seat at Norwich and left the running of th club to the rest of th board. It was the firsttime I had heard her quite clearly state she was open to selling as well as confirming what most people thought that she had not receieved any offers.Even with the books and TV money she hasn''t enough to finance a team, simply enough to keep us afloat with the annual cash injection. We need new money more than ever now as its likely no more money will be coming from dear old Delia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted December 5, 2009 I haven''t seen it, JB Ghost, but the fact she has recently published yet another book and made a TV programme (I have to admit the chocolate crumble will definitely be tested by me) suggest she is trying to generate extra income. I assume some of this will go into the club coffers. Has she really taken a step back? Certain appointments to the Board of Directors and the ''letting go'' of Gunn would indicate she has. Maybe she''s had a serious talk with someone who has spelled out the reality of what''s needed to continually fund NCFC. Let''s hope that the initial good things generated by McNally continue and promotion is realised. I also hope that serious effort is put into finding investment/someone to take over her role. I don''t particularly think she needs to go immediately, but the majority shareholding should be shared out somewhat. However my fears of her being in total control with flawed business acumen has been somewhat eased in the new appointments at board level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Brockes 145 Posted December 5, 2009 I was under the impression that she has to retire from the Board when she''s 70 which will be in June 2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
