Davey on Town Meeting - Ipswich Town News

Colin Davey, the Norwich fan who says he is keen to get involved with Town, says his meeting with David Sheepshanks and Derek Bowden earlier in the week went "really well".

Davey met with Norwich City on Tuesday, having offered £5 million for Delia Smith and husband Michael Wyn Jones' controlling shares in the club.

This was refused and he turned his attentions to Town, meeting the club chairman and chief executive on Thursday.

Davey, who lives near Bury St Edmunds, is now considering his options: "The meeting went really well and I was impressed with both Mr Sheepshanks and Mr Bowden.

"I was impressed with the set-up and everyone at Ipswich seems to be working for the club and have the club at heart.

"I now need to think of a way I can help myself and Ipswich Town. Whether that is a place on the board or just by putting some money in, I feel we can come up with something that will be very interesting.

"I will now be looking at the situation with my lawyers and my advisers, but the first thing I thought when I left the meeting is that I want to own this football club.

"I will wait and see how the share issue goes, as I don't want to detrimentally affect the share issue. I don't want people thinking it is not worth investing in the club because they see me talking about investing figures."
