Vaughan hopes to keep City out of Administration

Chester City owner Stephen Vaughan has denied claims that struggling Chester City will go into administration this season.

With the club in the midst of a financial crisis, rumours had suggested that Chester may well fall into administration and with it take a 10 point penalty, sending them deep into the relegation mire.

However Chester City owner Stephen Vaughan, denied the reports and told the Chester Chronicle:

‘There`s rumours about administration because we`ve got two clubs chasing us, in Bournemouth and Luton Town, who have come out of admin and have been allowed to bring players in.

‘We`re not getting a lot of support on the terraces, which is having an adverse effect on the budget, but all I can say is I`m fighting to keep this club where it should be, in the Football League. And as for administration, this football club will not go into administration this season.

‘We`ll get to the summer and then take stock.’
