Alan Burrows has resigned as Motherwell chief executive in a bombshell announcement by the Fir Park club.
He has been in post since 2014 and was the longest serving CEO in the Scottish Premiership. During his tenure, the club has made millions in player sales, undergone major stadium renovation works, finished third in the top flight, played in Europa League and Europa Conference League qualifiers, reached two domestic cup finals and won the SFA Youth Cup for the first time. Burrows has also oversaw the transition to fan ownership but he leaves at a time where Steven Hammell's side are in a relegation battle after a tough 2022 saw Graham Alexander depart as boss, on top of faltering home form.
He said: “It is with a very heavy heart that I resign from a club that I love dearly. I have hugely enjoyed working with my fellow Directors, the amazing, hard-working staff and the countless players, managers and coaches in that time. I want to thank and pay tribute to each and every one of them; I have so many terrific memories.
