The chairman and owner of Shrewsbury Town for three decades sold his controlling stake in the club, with confirmation this week.
Roland Wycherley paid Shrewsbury Town’s Sundorne Castle training a visit to bid staff and players a farewell after stepping down as owner and chairman.
It was confirmed on Monday the 85-year-old sold his 87.4 per cent controlling stake in the club to American consortium Biscayne ST LLC, fronted by Miami-based Scott Davidson and featuring former Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
On Tuesday morning the outgoing chairman, owner of the club for 30 years, paid a visit to the first-team training ground at Sundorne Castle, where Shrewsbury have called their base since 2017.
He gave a speech to the group and was presented with a signed shirt, while also speaking individually to players and staff.
Messages of support and gratitude have flooded in from supporters to Wycherley in the wake of the sale.
