Kidderminster Harriers’ board has drafted in Weymouth chairman George Rolls to review the cash-strapped club’s finances.

He has been brought in as an independent pair of eyes to assess how the Aggborough outfit, who narrowly avoided a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) last week, can recover from their perilous position.

This is the latest twist in the club’s on-going fight for financial stability.

The Terras chief is a controversial figure after quitting the board of Cambridge United in 2009.

He is also set to undergo a vote of confidence next Thursday from Weymouth fans, over his groundshare plans with local rivals Dorchester.

However, director Wayne Allen squashed any rumours that the entrepreneur wishes to invest in the club, insisting because of his involvement at Weymouth he cannot join the board.

Instead, he believes Rolls is one of a number of people in the football world coming to aid Harriers’ three-strong board of Allen, Mark Serrell and Keith Chandler.

“Someone has come in to do a fully independent review of the club,” commented Allen.

“It is someone without an axe to grind because they have no history with Harriers.

“Because he is already involved with a football club he cannot put any money in or become a director, he is simply helping the board out.

“He is looking at ways money can be saved, how we can maximise revenue.

“When finished he will give us the review and we will decide whether to implement it.

“There is only Mark [Serrell], Keith [Chandler] and myself on the board and we need help.”

Allen also confirmed there had been some talks with Kidderminster Harriers Independent Supporters Trust (KHIST) over a place on the board after its successful ‘Operation Full House’ campaign and fund-raising efforts.

However, he could not confirm if club secretary Dave Colwell had handed in his resignation this week.

Meanwhile, chairman Serrell, who is on holiday this week, revealed he is recovering well from his recent health scare.

In an open letter to the fans, he also stated outstanding directors’ loans have been either written off, or been used to purchase shares in the club.

He said: “It is essential we must all continue to focus on raising money and awareness to the fact that more is required to secure our long-term future.

“The club continues to lose hundreds of pounds per-week and it is our duty to ensure we correct this situation urgently.

“An immediate review of the whole business is to be undertaken to identify areas where the club can generate more income and cut excess costs.

“I am sure there are some tough decisions to be made, but the club will no longer spend more money than it generates.”
