Controversial former Chester City owner Stephen Vaughan has admitted that he was part of a consortium seeking to take over Wrexham FC. The bid by Van Morton Investments was pulled last week because of adverse publicity, but Vaughan has said that his interest could be reactivated. Apparently, a ‘retail cosmetics magnate’ was also involved in the bid.

If I had to draw up a short list of half a dozen clubs whose fans have really been through the mill in the recent past Wrexham would be on it. As this article points out very effectively relations between the owners of the club and fans are at an all-time low. It simply doesn’t make sense to criticise the fans in a condescending statement. Even if some of them have gone over the top on occasions, it was their efforts that kept the club going.
