Preston North End chairman Maurice Lindsay, has opted to step down due to illness.
Lindsay said: “I have spent much of the last three months in hospital recovering from Septicaemia which occurred following a knee operation in August. To be honest it has been a difficult time and I am only just beginning to recover. I need time to rebuild my health and it would not be fair to the football club if I did not give it 100% attention. My health will recover fully but I need to be sensible.”
Lindsay added: “The Club is still within striking distance of a promotion challenge and is even closer to the prospect of a Wembley appearance in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. I wish them the best of luck and they will have my full support.”
Lindsay, 70, remains on good terms with club owner, Trevor Hemmings.
“Trevor has been a long standing friend and will remain so. His financial support has been the reason that Preston remains as a football club and his support should not be underestimated. We will continue to be good friends.”
