Simon Blitz is an English businessman who is the former chairman of Oldham Athletic of Football League One.
[1] On 7 July 2010, he stepped down as chairman of Oldham, along with Gazal, citing personal and economic reasons for his departure.
Blitz is quoted in a BBC Sport article about the matter: "I don't feel I'm able to give the supporters the contribution they are looking for in the future Last season I invested a further substantial amount of money into the club and with reduced income from season ticket sales this summer, the demands on me were becoming too great.
"[2]Both Blitz and Gazal were founders of Cellular Network Communications Group, an American-based mobile phone company.
[citation needed] On 13 February 2019, it was announced that Trust Oldham was part of a fan-led group looking to purchase Boundary Park from Blitz[3] which is a move towards an end to his involvement with the football club.
