Rochdale AFC
Following Friday’s decision by the FA to suspend Rochdale AFC's Chief Executive Russ Green from “all football related activity until June 30th 2019”, the club have issued an update to supporters on the situation.
In a statement on Rochdale's website, the club have said that they have taken steps to restructure the club internally while Mr Green awaits the outcome of his appeal.
The club statement in full: "It is with regret that we find ourselves in this position, but it is important that we stress we are fully supporting Russ through this difficult time.
"Russ is currently appealing the decision.
"However, with the start of the season just over a month away, we must act quickly to put things in motion to ensure Russ’ role and responsibilities are covered for the period he is away from the club.
"As such, we can confirm that we have moved quickly to restructure internally to ensure continuity and the continued smooth operation of the club.
"To support the internal restructure of the club, we have in place the services of a consultant CEO with experience in this field, should those services be required."
