what happens if she lives another 20 years? thing is, the whole point of my club having a plan is that we won't need a benefactor. we won't need premier league money either. we'll need the fans to stick with the club (a novel idea to you but we tend to stick with our club in troubled times) and sensible people running the club on a budget.
maybe this maybe that's. When the reality is so unfairly weighted against ipswich its not surprising that you need to start imagining problems for us!
Delia Smith net worth 13m Every year in the prem - AT LEAST 45m add to that a full house every week and you can see where our financial future is going. She is a valued owner, who genuinely loves the club, but when she decides to go there is options. Unlike the "eggs in one basket" approach adopted by Ipswich
i just had a thought and its not out of the question. imagine, if you will, a scenario where ipswich town get promoted to the premier league in the 2013-14 season. i know its far fetched but hear me out! we've just made ourselves self-sufficient with our bigger capacity and wage cap, continuing our policy of signing up and coming younger players with re-sale value and potential. then, during the summer, just as the fans and marcus evans get all excited, the football bubble bursts big time and sky pull the plug. that would be interesting, wouldn't it... fine lines...
shes only 70! average age of death for woman is 82, and that includes people who aren't millionaires.
...and a glass of wine a night helps add five years to your life! eh? what? a pint of wine a night? oh ****...
It all sounds lovely in your world of milk and honey, a modern day Utopia! Unfortunately what happens when you get relegated in 2012/13?
we won't and don't worry, the above scenario will not happen so soon. ipswich promoted in two years time? preposterous!
She has done wonders for our club, have a long and happy life Delia, just kiddng earlier, sudden feelings of guilt....
