Delia Smith Resigns from Norwich City Board

Delia Smith has officially stepped down as a director of Norwich City after nearly 28 years, transitioning to the role of honorary life president. Alongside her husband, Michael Wynn Jones, Smith agreed to sell their majority stake to Norfolk Holdings, led by US businessman Mark Attanasio, to ensure the club's long-term financial security amid reported debts of around £59 million. The couple, who became involved with the club in 1996, will not receive any financial gain from the sale. Their tenure is marked by six promotions and six relegations in a rollercoaster of a journey for the club. Norwich City expressed gratitude for their contributions with a heartfelt statement, emphasizing that while they are stepping down, they will remain involved as supporters. The club is undergoing significant changes, including a new managerial appointment, as they look forward to a promising Championship season.
