Oxford United have undergone a boardroom reshuffle that includes the appointment of a new club chairman, replacing Grant Ferguson in the role, according to the BBC.
Ferguson's departure from the chairmanship forms the centrepiece of changes that also see two new appointments made to the board. The BBC reported the developments but did not disclose the identities of the incoming figures at the time of publication.
The reshuffle comes at a significant moment for Oxford, who secured promotion to the Championship and have been navigating the considerable financial and structural demands that the second tier places on a club of their scale and history. Maintaining stability in the boardroom is rarely incidental at that level — recruitment decisions, stadium development, and wage structures all flow from the top.
Ferguson had been a prominent presence in the club's recent trajectory, and his exit from the chairman's position marks a clear shift in direction for the ownership. Whether he retains any role within the club was not specified in the BBC's report.
The precise responsibilities of the two new board appointees have not been detailed in available reporting. What is clear is that Oxford's hierarchy is being reshaped at a point when the club will want coherent leadership heading into the months ahead.
