To be fair, it is Norwich, hardly a club with a glorious, if faded, history and a large expectant fanbase.
I think she's being utterly realistic. It's a solid business model: develop a young player, big him up, and sell for top dollar. Norwich are not really in a position to aspire to competing at the very top. We are one of the lucky few that can at least hope to do that - and we've got a history and tradition that proves that. And to be fair, she's more transparent and honest than Kenwright was with Rooney when we were paupers in 2004.
Norwich is a fine, progressive club. Delia is wise enough to know that maxing out on talented young players might be the difference between staying up and going down next year. Players like Godfrey and Aarons are never going to stay - and keeping them isn't likely to ensure success either as the odds are so stacked against a club of that size.
