Anthony Evans, a Liverpool-born 27-year old sales consultant at GT Law, a firm of Essex solicitors, is heading up the consortium that plans to buy Stockport County.   The identity of the consortium members is unknown but Evans has emphatically denied rumours that one of the investors is Stephen Vaughan, the controversial former owner of Chester City.   Vaughan was jailed for 15 months in August for assaulting a police officer.


The consortium hopes to acquire a majority stake in Stockport before the beginning of next month when a period of due diligence has been completed.  The 2015 Group, the present owners of Stockport, paid £250,000 to take the club out of administration in June last year.


New manager Dieter Hamann has just eight senior players at his disposal, but the new owners have already sanctioned bids totalling £200,000.
