Jason McGill

[1] McGill played football for the reserve team of then non-League cub Wycombe Wanderers whilst at university in London.

[2][3] He grew up as a York City supporter and made a donation of £50,000 to the club while it was undergoing financial difficulties.

[5] McGill was heavily involved in negotiating the deal for York City to gain full control of Bootham Crescent, after over 99% of the shareholders of Bootham Crescent Holdings voted in favour of the deal in January 2005.

[7] The York City Supporters' Trust voted by three to one to accept a takeover offer made by McGill at a meeting on 6 June 2006.

His company J M Packaging offered to invest a substantial sum into the club, in return for a majority shareholding.
