Don't bite the hand that feeds: Delia dishes out £2m to keep Norwich afloat
13 April 2012
Celebrity cook Delia Smith is using the royalties from her latest hit book to keep her beloved Norwich City afloat.
Smith, 67, has handed over a further £2million of her own money, bringing to £11m the amount she and husband Michael Wynn-Jones have pumped into the Canaries’ coffers since 1996.
The majority shareholders’ latest cash injection has been partly funded by her controversial ‘How to Cheat at Cooking’ best-seller, which was published in February this year.
Norwich were rocked this week by the shock resignation of shareholders Andrew and Sharon Turner, leaving Roger Munby to admit their departure left a £1.5m hole in the club’s budget.
