Press Conference Updates

Updates from today’s press conference at Edgeley Park, where Liverpool legend Dietmar Hamann was announced as manager of Stockport County.

The press conference began with CEO Graham Shaw, Dietmar Hamann and new investor Tony Evans at the top table.

Hamann was announced as manager on a one-year deal, replacing newly-appointed boss Ray Mathias. Mathias has been offered the assistant’s role but has yet to decide.

GT Law, a company linked with Evans, were confirmed as the club’s new shirt sponsors on a two-year deal.

Evans stated that he had invested in the club, but it was premature to call him Chairman yet, as he still had to decide whether or not to buy majority shares in the club and complete a full take-over with his consortium.

Evans would not reveal the names of the people in his consortium and stated that he would rather they be judged on actions over words.

Hamann said he won’t be rushed into signing anybody, and he is aware of the time constraints.

No word yet on the future of Alan Lord and Peter Ward.
