BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Chase sells out as Norwich chairmanIndependent, The (London), May 3, 1996 Robert Chase yesterday stepped down as chairman of Norwich City after a season-long campaign by sections of the Carrow Road crowd to oust him.Chase, a Norfolk builder who took over from Sir Arthur South in 1986, is believed to have sold a substantial proportion of his majority shareholding to a former chairman, Geoffrey Watling. Watling, chairman in the 1950s and 60s and instrumental in saving City during a financial crisis in 1957, is now club president.Chase took over after the club''s entire board of directors had resigned following a row over the rebuilding of Carrow Road''s main stand. But in recent seasons he has come under intense pressure from disgruntled fans who have accused him of being more interested in bricks and mortar than football.Just asking.
