Maguire bows out as Rovers’ chairman

Liam Mackey

The resignations will not affect the ongoing examinership, since a minimum requirement of two directors remain in place. Under the examinership, which was instigated by Maguire, Rovers are seeking investment to rescue a club which has debts of nearly E2.5 million.

Maguire remained tight-lipped about the reasons for his decision, although sources suggest it may in part have been motivated by a desire to leave a clean slate for any new investors interested in running the club.
