Quote: The All New Chester Wire "6. He's a lifelong fan. At one of his rare public speaking appearances, Squadbuilder a few years back, I remember someone asking him (was it Padders or Wires 71?) if he'd still be there if the club lost its Super League place. He just smiled and said "I would. Would you?".'"
I deliberately didn't include the part about him being a fan because there are other sports owners who are lifelong fans of clubs and it doesn't always help although I take the point its more likely to secure loyalty from an owner than if he was an American football franchise owner looking to extend his empire with another sport.
We are all lifelong fans on here but I bet most of us would have made a big hash of the club if we'd owned it. If I had Simon Moran's money and bought the club in 2004 then by 2006 I would have probably sacked Cullen, transfer listed Briers, got rid of Bridge because I didn't rate him, spent all my life savings on getting Hanley in as coach and built a statue of Martin Gleeson at the HJ.
