Roland Wycherley will ‘always be welcome’ at Shrewsbury Town, says new owner

Scott Davidson says former Shrewsbury Town owner and chairman Roland Wycherley will “always be welcome” at the club.

Davidson has praised Wycherley’s influence during his more than 30 years at the helm and believes his experience and knowledge could prove a valuable resource for the new ownership group.

In his first interview after his company, Biscayne ST LLC, acquired Wycherley’s 87.4 per cent shareholding, Davidson suggested the former chairman could still have a role to play at the club.

Expanding on those comments at his unveiling press conference, Davidson said: “First of all, I’m happy to have lots of people involved.

“And Roland has been massively influential, whether it’s building where we’re sitting today, rescuing the club years ago from difficult circumstances, and he’s got a wealth of experience and knowledge.

“So what I was alluding to was, we look forward to seeing him here as often as he wants.

“And he’s a resource. So we can call him, we can talk to him, we can ask him if he has a thought.

“He doesn’t seem to be shy to me. So I suspect he’ll call, and he has my phone number, and I welcome that discussion.

“While he’s not going to have a formal role, he’s always going to be the most important chairman ever of Shrewsbury Town Football Club, and he’s always going to have a place here.

“His ideas, thoughts, and presence are always welcome.”
