🚨 An 85-year-old has finally sold Shrewsbury after 30 years, and he took five of them to do it

87.4% of the shares, and a deal he first said he wanted more than five years ago.

Roland Wycherley became Shrewsbury chairman in the summer of 1996 and has now sold to Scott Davidson's American consortium, with Brad Friedel joining as sporting director. Wycherley retires at 85.

He made his intention to sell clear when Town were still a League One club. Five years of waiting followed.

Fans were frustrated by it, and understandably so. But he refused to sign anything until he was convinced it was right for the club's long-term future, and there's a list of English clubs as long as your arm who wish somebody had been that stubborn on their behalf.

A Shrewsbury-born lifelong fan who wouldn't hand his club to the first bidder. We've seen what happens at the places where the opposite occurs.

Four relegations and three promotions in his time, and the thing that outlasts all of it is the move from Gay Meadow to a 10,000 all-seater ground in 2007. Graham Turner, who got them up in 2012, said Roland kept the club going when it was hard and that he has nothing but admiration for him.

The new board is Miami-based Davidson, New York financier Will Dotson, and Craig Graham, who chairs Spartans in Scottish League Two. Friedel will work with Gavin Cowan, who came back in January and saved them from relegation.

Town sit 15th, two points off the play-offs, and were eighth before late goals at Rotherham and against Gillingham cost them.

Thirty years, a new stadium, and a handover he actually vetted. That's a legacy. Good luck to him.

Nothing to do with tonight but this tweet has annoyed me so much. The reason the ESTC has so many members is because of what Southgate achieved, nothing to do with Carsley beating Ireland and Finland. The disrespect for a man who achieved so much is a disgrace
