CFU Chair and Vice-Chair to continue in roles

Posted by Albert Davies on

Following a formal board meeting on Tuesday 10th December, the Board of City Fans United is pleased to announce that Kieron Shiel will continue in his role as Chair, with Jim Green continuing to serve in his role as Vice-Chair.

We would also like to congratulate Nick Phillipson on his re-election as a Director, as well as both Neil Berry and Adrian Rattenbury, who were voted on to the Board at last month’s AGM after serving as co-opted members of the Board since the beginning of 2024.

Finally, we would like to say a big thank you to Jeff Banks, Matt Dickenson and Charlotte Walker for all of their hard work and dedication whilst serving on the CFU Board, as their respective terms came to an end at the most recent AGM.

Portfolios for the Directors will be decided on and communicated at a later date.

CFU Statement

City Fans United can confirm Andrew Morris has decided to step down from the Board of Directors and his position as Chairman.


Andrew was elected to the Board in October 2017 and has served as Chairman since April 2020, helping guide the Club through a period of unprecedented challenges.

Andrew tendered his resignation on Saturday evening and the Board wishes to place on record its collective gratitude and appreciation for his significant contribution. We thank him for agreeing to a handover period to ensure an orderly transition, and wish Andrew the very best for the future.


“The past few months have seen a great deal of soul searching and reflection, and I think it is the right time to pass the baton on to someone else and stand down from the board,” said Andrew.

“I joined the board on the brink of financial crisis and have encountered a relegation, flooding, a takeover approach, global pandemic, two curtailed seasons, the misallocation of National Lottery funding, and the recent border issues, so I can certainly say it has been an eventful time and an incredible experience.


“The coming months are going to be challenging as the Club seeks to build a competitive side for next season while continuing to ensure the short and long-term sustainability of the football club, and it is only right that this work is led by someone able to commit the time that this demands, therefore I have decided to resign from my position to allow a new Chairman to mould and shape the future direction for the coming season.


“Without doubt it has been a pleasure to serve on the Board since 2017 and I wish all associated with the Club, from the Board, employees, volunteers through to Steve, the coaching and playing staff all the best.”


The Board plans to meet this week to confirm the appointment of a new Chairman, with Vice Chairman Jim Green fulfilling the role in the interim.
