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.
