This Thursday David Pickering and his consortium intend to occupy the Deva Stadium until chairman Mark Guterman proves that he still owns the majority shareholding in the club.And Pickering's proposed actions are in response to chairman Mark Guterman's failure to talk to the would-be buyers.

Confusion has arisen since it was revealed that the parent company (owned by Guterman) that owned the majority shareholding Dovedene Ltd were struck off the companies register last November for non-compliance.
...
In the recent past, Mr Pickering has challenged Chester City chairman Mark Guterman to prove his majority share ownership in the club.

We are about half way through the five-year plan put in place by Mr Guterman upon his arrival.Where does he think we are in relation to his plan? When the club took a reported £450,000 in transfer fees in April 1998, which enabled the chairman to put together a six-point action plan, how can the club still be in debt and have difficulty paying a water rates bill? During the last fans' forum, Mr Guterman stated he would involve supporters in the future development of the club.Can he report any progress on this? In last season's Scarborough programme, Mr Guterman stated he would be undertaking a "restructuring of the club to increase commercial business" during the summer.
...
If, as the chairman stated in the Press, nobody has approached him about helping the club, why was it as soon as the CCFC Ltd consortium went public about their aims that Mr Guterman revealed that he had been talking to other interested parties.
