KIO, read this and NEVER dis Delia again! http://www.thelittleyellowbirdproject.co.uk/articles/2016/2/9/twenty-years-of-delia
I have never doubted her intentions or that City is buried deep in her heart. Sadly due to not being among the "rich & famous" of the football elite, she is often damned for doing her best, though I do accept that her best is not going to the club forward, rather it bounces along from season to season. Her decision to not sell to TF has proved to be 100% right it would seem and even a good number of R's fans have begun to accept, maybe reluctantly, that he is a mouthpiece with little substance, albeit a wealthy one.
Excellent article that reinforces most fans perceptions. In this day of mega rich owners we are indeed lucky to have a real supporter, albeit a relative pauper, as our custodian. As the article says, mistakes have been made, but Louis van Gaahl is manager of ManU, so even the mighty do not always get it right
Really can't see the point of that article at all. We all know Delilah has the best interests of the club at heart but the fact is she's an incompetent fool. It's so easy to take the piss at Tony Fernandez isn't it? Fact is is he was ill advised and just perhaps if he had taken over our club and had better advice we may be doing rather better than we are right now. With our current owners we will remain 'little Norwich' for ever and a day
Delia is a ledge. There has been times she has saved our football club. I'll never feel bad feelings for her. She really never had to get involved in a football club, but she did, and some of her loans and investments has saved our club in the hard times of a low level Championship club, and in League 1. She made a fool of herself, but I love her passion. I'll never think bad of her.
We'd be in a right old muddle as a football club without her initial intervention and continued involvement, that's for sure. One day, whether for age, health or whatever reasons, she'll have to reassess her position, but until that happens, she has my full backing - mainly for baling out a canoe full of water, just before it sunk forever
