Chase... What's the current view?

My memory is that he nearly broke the club and constantly pulled money out of it.

I don't recall his ownership as having much to do with our success at the time.

Delia, at least, is a fan (in contrast to the business owners looking to make a quick buck or wanting a club as a toy).

I reckon we'll miss Delia when she does sell up.
