View attachment 414118
Norwich City have today announced that former chat show host and local DJ Alan Partridge has officially taken over as chairman following a ?40 million takeover from celebrity chef Delia Smith.
The 59 year old , who in his early days as a BBC presenter worked on the sports desk for The Day Today at the 1994 world cup, has had an illustrious career including one series of ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’ being shown on BBC and his recent handing of the Shape radio station hostage crises.
Partridge is rumoured to be keen to take Norwich on to better times to try and see money returned on his undoubted investment into the East Anglian side. However, fans are unsure on whether he will be capable of taking the club to the next level.
Fans will be awaiting this summer with great interest on the future of Chris Hughton and the other members of staff at the club. In a press conference Partridge said nothing on Chris Hughton’s future but admitted that though no player was set to be transfer listed from the off, every player has his price and that he was looking forward to cementing links with other sides.
