The CFU Board are delighted by Jon’s decision to commit his future to Chester Football Club.

Our excellent on-field form is testament to Jon’s hard work and dedication to our football club and by securing his services until May 2019, we now look forward to moving on to the next stage of our exciting journey with him at the helm.

CFU Chair Alan Povey said “Having worked with Jon for some time now, I know first hand how passionately he feels about the club and how he much he buys into our community ethos. The board’s hope now is that all supporters continue to get behind Jon and the players, and help us in achieving his goals” .

Simon Olorenshaw, Chairman of City Fans United, has advised fellow Directors of his decision to resign from the board of City Fans United in order to fully focus on his increasing work commitments with Merseyrail.

Speaking of his decision, Simon said: “It is with great regret that, due to work commitments, I have decided to step down from the Board of the CFU, with immediate effect. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the CFU Board and am proud to have been a part of the amazing journey that our club is on. “I shall continue to attend games with Jackie, and wish the Board, Jon McCarthy and Ian Sharps all the best for the future.”

The CFU Board would like to place on record special thanks for his commitment and passion as Chairman. During his tenure Simon has overseen significant strategic restructuring within the club which creates a superb platform for the future. We wish Simon all the very best for the future and look forward to his continued attendance as a season ticket holder.

As Vice Chairman of City Fans United, Jonny Hughes will initially assume the role of Chair until the next planned board meeting.

A reminder that the next CFU members meeting will be held in the Blues Bar on Thursday this week (18th August) with a 7.30pm start.
The agenda for the evening will include a Chairman’s report with updates on Finance and Commercial, some information about this years AGM and the usual Q&A session.
CEO Mark Maguire will also be present.

There will also be an opportunity for candidates who are interested in standing for election to come to an information session, meet the current CFU board and ask questions about the process etc. This will start at 6.45pm before the main meeting.

If you are interested in standing for election at this years AGM but are unable to attend on Thursday you are welcome contact the society secretary Marion Needham (marion.needham@chesterfc.com) to arrange to meet with Chairman or other current board members at a mutually convenient time.

At the first full CFU board meeting since the AGM in November, the board have elected Simon Olorenshaw as the new Chairman of City Fans United.

Simon will combine the role with his job at Merseyrail where he is Head of Asset Management.

Simon was co-opted onto the CFU board last year, and was recently elected to the board at the AGM. Simon said: “As Chair I am there to support my fellow Directors, facilitate progress and ensure that we deliver on our commitments. It is not the traditional role of the Football Chairman who has the final say on everything within the football club.

“The football club is controlled by the Operations Board, which in turn is accountable to the CFU board.” He added: “I am also looking forward to building on the great work of the previous Chairmen.

“For me it is all around the three pillars of the first team, the youth and the community and it is ensuring we have the right level of support for all those areas. “I am honoured to be leading the CFU as we go into an exciting time.”

Simon led the board in recording thanks for the hard work of previous Chairman Grenville Millington and all other board members have who stood down over the past year.

Also at the meeting, Jim Keegan stood down from his role as Vice-Chairman but will continue to serve on both the Operations and CFU boards. Neil Bellis, who has served on the CFU board since 2014, was elected to the role of Vice-Chairman.

The board elected Laurence Kirby as the Treasurer of CFU and re-appointed Marion Needham as Secretary.

The board have discussed the co-opting of further members to both CFU and Operational boards. This will be reported back to members when these are finalised.
