    I know you are inherently disposed against her, but even you must admit (for all her many faults) that there are much, much worse owners out there, and quite a few of them.

    She's very lucky not to be considered "much, much worse" by City fans.

    I hope that flag is not a reference to what she's got planned for that empty bottle behind her......

    Carrabuh must have his prejudices folks. We are debt free, in the Premier league, have an exciting young manager. Whenever is she going to do things that are for the good of the club?

    Yes, When has "she" done good things for the club. Living off a bail out 20 years ago and making the dumbest decisions that took us even further back.

    Do not credit our success to her.

    I'm not crediting our success to her.

    But equally, I'm not going to disparage her as everything that has gone wrong being her fault - it hasn't. She's made some terrible decisions but at least she's made some good ones. You only have to look at other club owners to realise her good ones were at least very good (e.g. McNally).

    I'm not saying we could have been much better off without her and a different owner. We could. But we could also have been a lot, lot worse. She is not the devil incarnate. And if you're going to criticise you should also give credit where it's due.

    I give credit to those that really did save our club, not those that hide behind others when its bad and come out to take the glory when its good.

    Who really did save our club then?

    The bottom line is, those who saved the club, were appointed by Delia and co. I don't disagree with you about the taking all the glory, but the fact remains that when push came to shove Delia and co recognised that they were not capable of doing the right thing, swallowed their pride, and appointed someone who could. You can't blame someone for not being capable and they should get credit for realising that they aren't (even though it took longer than many of us would have liked).

    Whenever dear old Delia is mentioned you get the same response from Carrabuh and you will never get him to change his mind. At the end of the day we have ended up in a far better state than when she took over and whilst she has, of course, made mistakes the simple fact remains that had she not stepped in when she did our Club would probably gone out of business.

    Totally agree midway, Carrabuh often says things to get a reaction, usually very effectively, but he is barking up the wrong tree with this one!

    Delia is a Saint! <ok>

    I think 'Saint' is taking it a bit too far Dave, Yes Delia saved us years ago but I'm pretty sure we've been just as good for her. Would she as a 70+ year old ex TV cook still be in the public eye had she not co-owned a top football club? Not only that, when she does eventually step aside she'll pocket many more millions than what she has put in I guarantee it. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I would prefer us to be owned by some faceless billionaire I'm just trying to put things into perspective.

    You are entitled to your opinion of course, but I'm sure many more regard her as saint than sinner!
