More About The Takeover At York

The Daily Star has published more details about the family who has taken over at York City.

'York City have been bought by Matt Uggla, whose family includes a billionaire financial whiz in father Lance and a Made In Chelsea star in sister Riley.

Ryan Reynolds-owned Wrexham have fresh competition for the most glitz owners in England's lower leagues after York City's recent takeover... 394 Sports Ltd succeeded with its bid for a 51% stake.

The group is fronted by Matt Uggla and his mother, Julie-Anne, who will serve as co-chairs of the club moving forward. The former was recently part of a consortium that appeared close to taking over Yeovil Town, only for the deal to collapse at the 11th hour.

Matt's father, Lance, the Canadian businessman, founded financial data company IHS Markit in 2003 and sold the asset for around £31billion in 2020.

Co-chair Julie-Anne is no longer married to Lance, but both exes have taken to investing heavily in sustainability projects over the decades. Lance now operates a climate and sustainability fund called BeyondNetZero.

Matt's sister, Riley grew up in the United Kingdom before featuring in the seventh season of Made In Chelsea. The 28-year-old MIC alum has since founded 'sustainable luxury fashion brand' Riley Studio, which produces gender-neutral clothing.'
