FC Isle of Man's chair and vice chair to step down

Gill Christian and Lee Dixon will end their time on the club's board

FC Isle of Man has announced Chair Gill Christian and Vice Chair Lee Dixon will vacate their positions.
It comes after the conclusion of the NWCFL Premier Division where The Ravens finished 20th in the league table.

Gill took over as chair from Gary Weightman in 2020.

She said: "It has been an immense privilege to serve as chair.

"I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and the dedication of the volunteers, staff, players, and the unwavering support of our fans.

"Lee and myself felt that last summer was the ideal time to hand over the day-to-day control of the club to new directors to allow them to put their stamp on it and take it in a new direction with a new long-term strategy."

Meanwhile, Lee who was a founding member of the club, joined the board after initially being an assistant to FC Isle of Man's first manager Chris Bass Snr.

He said: "I have been proud to serve the club in any way I could since day one and cannot begin to thank all the players, coaches, stewards, volunteers, sponsors and our amazing fans enough for helping to make our club what it is and what it will be in the future.

"It has been an extremely challenging but enjoyable seven years from helping to set up the club with Paul Jones through to ensuring that we were able to keep the club sustainable and functioning on and off the pitch."

The club say a confirmation on the new chair will be made in due course.
