DELIA SMITH has sold her controlling stake in Norwich after 27 years in charge.
Norfolk Holdings, a group run by American businessman Mark Attanasio, have bought the Canaries and will take on the club’s debt, totalling around £59million.
Attansio will hold an 85 per cent stake with Smith and her husband Michael Wunn Jones retaining 10 per cent.
Norwich released a statement which read: “Delia and Michael have always been clear that they would act in the best interests of the club when passing on stewardship of it.
“Delia and Michael feel that the group are best placed to be the next custodians of the club.”
