Wrexham chief stands down

Property developer Mark Guterman has resigned as chairman of Second Division club Wrexham.

In a statement, Guterman said his decision to leave the club was “purely for family and personal reasons”.

The former Chester chairman took up his appointment at the Racecourse Ground two years ago but has recently come under fire from fans.

Guterman had wanted to develop the ground although rumours were rife that he could be moving them to a new home.

The statement said: “Following a board meeting, I have tendered my resignation as chairman of Wrexham.

“I have also sold my financial interest in the club to Alex Hamilton with immediate effect.

“In the main I have come to this decision purely for family and personal reasons.

“When I took charge of the club it was going into administration. Now, two years later, after promotion to the Second Division and two FAW Premier Cup wins, it is true to say the club has enjoyed success on the field of play during my tenure.”
