Board changes
On 2 September 2008, Andrew and Sharon Turner announced that they were leaving the football club's board of directors. This left a £2 million hole in Norwich City's budget. On 4 September 2008, Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones announced that they would be injecting £2 million, avoiding financial problems for the club.
It is, however, widely believed despite this £2 million injection, Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones are interested in selling their majority shareholding in the club. Chairman Roger Munby confirmed on 4 September 2008 that talks are ongoing with multiple potential investors
