And apologies to Don

So why is there no investigation into this?

As directors of Wrexham AFC Mark Williams and Gavin Jones would have know about them.

Why was it stated they did not know about the loans?

Following the brief publication of unredacted minutes from the Trust Board meeting of 20th May 2020, the Society Board of Wrexham Supporters Trust would like to clarify that Don Bircham is not being investigated into anything to do with Football Club matters, including the breach of the Board Members Policy.

We apologise to Don for his name being mentioned in this section, which caused this impression. Peter Jones, Chairman of the WST, has also called Don to offer his apologies in person.

Further to this, and following the investigation into the club accounts in regards to the three loans made, the Society Board are satisfied that the interest-free loans made by Don to the Football Club, were made with other Directors’ knowledge and in the best interest of the Football Club at the time.

We would like to place on record once again our thanks to Mr. Bircham, who made the interest free Directors loans without any form of personal gratification.

Don is a valued customer, sponsor and supporter of Wrexham Football Club, and we hope that will continue for many years to come, and we thank him for his continued support.

We are a shambles of a club.

Buried in a text heavy statement beneath the flogging of facemasks. Should have been a standalone statement IMHO.

For accountability of who is effectively signatory to that statement, who is on the Trust Board?

Do you seriously think that the majority of Wrexham fans are concerned about loans to the club and how transparent they are. Come off it man ,they just want to see football back at The Racecourse and could not care how that happens . All that matters is when the fixtures start, how and when we can get to see them and who will be playing for us. Nobody will be bothered about some loans years ago (which have been repaid) after no football at the ground for six months or so.

9th May, the WST state that following their update of the week before they have been "made aware" of further loan from Don.
A week or 2 ago these loans might cause a financial investigation into past affairs.

Now they knew all along?
