New CEO for County

Mike Newton, who withdrew his interest in buying County a few weeks ago, has now seen his right-hand man and proposed Chief Executive Graham Shaw be appointed as the CEO at County anyway!

Shaw left his job at a lawyer firm to join Newton in his quest to take-over The Hatters, but when the move failed to materialise, the 2015 Group moved to appoint Shaw swiftly anyway.

A statement on Cows read:

Stockport County are pleased to announce the appointment of Graham Shaw as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer. Graham will begin work at Edgeley Park on Wednesday 6 April.

Graham first came to the attention of the Board of Directors and Shareholders during the recent takeover negotiations with Mike Newton, as he was the proposed new CEO/Director of Football should the takeover have gone through.
