Martin Hellier, owner of Yeovil Town, intends to sell the club following persistent online abuse from fans that has affected him and his family. Hellier, who funded the team's promotion back to the National League, stated that the financial losses and negative treatment have become intolerable. He requested fans cease their harassment while he searches for a suitable buyer. The strained relationship has resulted in bans for fans over social media comments, contributing to the controversy surrounding his leadership despite the club's previous successes on the pitch.
I fully intend to sell the club and leave as soon as a suitable buyer is found... It's simply not worth losing the money to be abused.
My investment provided the club with the funds needed to get through... but has given me nothing but abuse and minus 4m personal deficit.
