Stephen Vaughan has sold Chester City to Stephen Vaughan, junior.
The move was announced today with Vaughan senior telling local radio he had sold 100% of the club to his namesake son who is a player at the Deva Stadium, albeit on loan at Northwich currently. Vaughan also described former Bournemouth chairman Paul Baker's bid for the club as 'silly'.
The 'sale' may yet incur the wrath of the FA as Vaughan junior was a director of the club when it went into Administration in the summer, as Vaughan senior conveniently sidestepped another bust club, and there is certain to be an in-depth investigation into the deal and whether Vaughan senior has actually backed away from the club.
Today's 3-1 home loss to Altrincham was watched by just 842 home fans, and more are threatening to walk away with this latest twist to the Vaughan saga. Vaughan junior is as popular as his father with the Chester faithful, whose vitriol from the stands has seen the player depart three times on loan in an effort to continue his career unhindered.
