City Fans United would like to invite all members to their first Members Meeting of 2010, which will take place at the Home Guard Club, in Canal Street, Chester, on Thursday 28th January, with the meeting commencing at 8pm.

The meeting has been convened to discuss the recent events at Chester City FC, and also as a follow up to the CFU Survey sent out recently to all members.

There will also be a presentation on the Loan Notes, as well as a couple of new initiatives being launched by CFU at the meeting.

Thanks to everyone who has so far responded to the CFU Survey that was distributed to all of our members this week.

On Wednesday, we e-mailed the Survey to our online members, and have so far had a tremendous response, so thanks to everyone who has responded so quickly.

For anyone not online, Surveys were posted out on Thursday night, and should be with our members this weekend.

In view of this, and also the backlog of post being sorted by Royal Mail nationally, we have decided to extend the deadline for receiving Surveys to Midday on Thursday 21st January, which will give all who were posted the CFU Survey a chance to respond in time, so please complete and return yours by last post Wednesday in order for your vote on the question of an official boycott to count.

City Fans United would like to state their disappointment, shock, and anger at the decision to replace Jim Harvey as Manager of Chester City Football Club.

Supporters had recently received assurances from new Director of Football, Morell Maison, that Mr Harvey would continue in his role as team manager, this was strengthened in the meeting held between representatives from CFU and Morell Maison, and also Gary Metcalf, whom we were unaware was attending the said meeting.

The publicised meeting between City Fans United with Morell Maison, the recently appointed Director of Football at Chester City FC, took place last Friday at 3.15pm in Chester.

City Fans United, having previously expressed concern over the ongoing turmoil at Chester City F.C. and stated their bewilderment at the appointment of Morell Maison as Director of Football, have requested that Mr Maison meet with the supporters’ organisation to discuss what his priorities and future plans are for Chester City F.C., including clarification over the current and future ownership of the club.

Happy New Year to all CFU members.

Following the City Fans United SGM in December, and subsequent CFU committee meeting prior to Christmas, we can confirm that the following roles have been allocated to the committee members:

CFU are surprised, disappointed and shocked at events currently taking place at The Deva Stadium.

Whilst the players, we believe, have still to be paid from November and the current
manager is working miracles in what can be some of the most difficult circumstances ever experienced by a Chester manager, Stephen Vaughan, currently banned from acting as a director by The Department of Trade, has appeared to appoint Morell Maison as Director of Football.

The stories that were broken by the local press earlier this week that Stephen Vaughan has been in advanced negotiations to sell Chester City FC to a business consortium will come as a source of relief for all City fans this festive period.

It is with interest that City Fans United see that Mr Vaughan has now set a sale price for the Club, and is allowing outside parties access to the books to perform due diligence upon the accounts of the current company. This costly statement of intent on behalf of this new consortium gives us hope that the Club may now be sold to a committed and genuine third party, something the Managing Director of CCFC worryingly admitted this week “…must happen soon”.

The weekend press reports of players striking at Chester City are causing new and even greater concerns to the members of City Fans United.

The financial and ownership problems are well documented, but this weekend has revealed a new and even more intolerable situation as it appears that the club is now finding itself in difficulties fulfilling its fixtures on a week to week basis.

This Thursday, the City Fans United Special General Meeting will take place at the Home Guard Social Club in Canal Steet, Chester, commencing at 8pm, and all CFU members are invited to attend..

One of the items on the agenda will be the election of members to the Society Board.

As only nine members have been nominated it is not necessary to hold an election but their nominations do have to be ratified at the SGM by the membership.

For those members attending the meeting on Thursday, please remember to bring your Membership Card with you.

Personal statements from each nominee can be found on www.cityfansunited.com
