Norwich City fans praise Delia but look forward to change

Fans have been reacting to the announcement that Delia Smith has ended her 28-year tenure as director of Norwich City FC.

The celebrity chef’s name has been synonymous with the Canaries, as a joint majority shareholder alongside her husband, Michael Wynn Jones.
