I think you must be bonkers to want to own a football club

You get a few where you see what the project is, and it kind of make sense as a hobby project (FGR springs to mind), but it seems utter madness to me.

Even for a Delia, thinking back to the 90s/00s and the stress and money pit that it would have been. She must be one of the very very few for whom it has worked out ok in the end (well, to date).
