Championship thread 25/26! (31 Viewers)

USA owners, Delia long gone.

Delia and her husband still have a 10 per cent stake but relinquished their places on the board. They are honorary life presidents. They put a lot of money into Norwich over the years and were very good owners. Norwich really developed as a club under their stewardship. The training facilities at Norwich are vastly superior to ours.

Did they put a lot of money into Norwich? The fans paid for the training ground improvements via a bond. They got promoted the following season then paid them back.

People on the board said more than some fans realised. The fans main complaint about them was the usual football fan mentality of they should just be investing more. But I think they were sensible owners and probably gave Norwich supporters some of their best years. They will probably be the last of the local business person owns local football club of any stature. Being a multi millionaire is no longer enough you need to be a multi billionaire.

We know already that multi billionaires aren't always the best owners.

Great at recruiting the right kind of manager (Farke) which gave them recent success. That said they’d have been in deep shit when Maddison got injured a few months before joining Leicester. Always lots of luck involved but they are well run club.

Yes any club is the sum total of its component parts. You need the right people in the right places and no one person makes a club.

Interesting one as the Championship is much, much stronger than the SPL but he was shite in the SPL and has looked very good in spells at WBA.

Incester in talks with Wilder, a shithouse to manage a shithouse club, made for each other! Not sure who I dislike more to be fair

Another one in for Blues!

They have 2 years to go up otherwise it’s all going to go pop (I think it will anyway)

It's a risky strategy

10 million rumoured on him but the others have been loans or freebies on high wages so far I think from what I’ve seen on twitter.

I'm not so sure, they can have ownership without consequence to themselves?

Really like the Kyogo, Doyle and Gray signings.

A match made in hell

Is Blues bringing in all these names any different to us 2 years ago when we threw money at things?

They'll be up there, without doubt.

If it all gels. Hull City looked like they'd be world certainties when they signed Philogene, Delap? and those Turkish players. All good on paper, but didn't happen.
