Today's exercise in lazy journalism from Sky...Who owns PL clubs...

Subtitle.

"As Newcastle United is bought by a Saudi-led consortium, Sky News looks at who owns the 20 clubs currently in the Premier League and what fans think of them."

When it comes to Norwich

"TV cook Delia Smith and her husband Michael Wynn-Jones were invited to invest in Norwich City during financial difficulties in 1996.

The couple own a 53% share, with Smith running catering at the club until her 70th birthday in 2011.

She made headlines in 2005 during a match against Manchester City - as Norwich faced relegation - when she took the announcer's microphone and shouted "let's be 'avin' you", later denying she was drunk.

The remaining shares are owned by Fougler, the managing director of a Norfolk-based poultry firm with a £100m annual turnover."

Dragging up a quote from 16 years ago that no-one heard at the time which incidentally was long before nearly all other current PL owners were involved with their clubs.

Once again nothing about the 30 odd percent owned by the other fans of the club.
