Exeter City Football Club
Exeter City Football Club's owners have reset their relationship with the club after a season of turmoil. The Grecians were relegated to League Two in May after four years in the third tier following a difficult 12 months financially.
What happened?
Exeter City's new club chairman Wilf Walsh and the Trust have come together to clarify rules around the relationship between the two bodies. The club were forced to go to the Exeter City Supporters' Trust for loans of about £600,000 following an overspend in the 2024-25 season.
Why it matters for Exeter City Football Club
The club's owners are hopeful they will be better off in the long term, despite short-term financial constraints. Exeter City are one of just two fan-owned clubs in the English Football League, alongside AFC Wimbledon.
What comes next?
Key to Exeter City's future is the club's academy, which has produced players like Ollie Watkins, Ethan Ampadu, and Matt Grimes. The club's current league standing is 21st in League One, with 49 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LDDDW.
