Career
Mather joined the club in 2012, shortly after it fell into administration, purchasing a 10% stake for £1 million. In April 2013 he was appointed Chief Executive Officer following the departure of Charles Green, on a salary of £500,000. He left the club in October 2013, citing "incessant attempts to destabilise the operations of the club".
He was replaced as Chief Executive Officer by Graham Wallace, chief operating officer of Manchester City.
He also owns sports management firm Simply Sport Management based in the Midlands.
