Ritchie Jeune, the owner of Kettering, has quit.
Kettering are set to be relegated from the National North League.
"As the season unfolded and the numerous rumours of take overs swirled around Latimer Park, the intent of many in the fan base to embrace new ownership was clear," said Jeune.
"To that aim, I confirm that I will be stepping away from Kettering Town FC with immediate effect. The current board of directors will be dissolved, and a new board appointed who will take on the task of sustainably running the club and looking for a new owner.
"Over the course of the year, I have approached several prominent local businesspeople, with affiliation to KTFC, with a view to them taking over the mantle and pushing the club forward, in a way more in-line with the aspirations of the fan base. Unfortunately, none of these individuals wanted to take up the challenge.
"Likewise, I had several approaches from other non-connected parties enquiring about a take-over, but our precarious league position understandably was always a limiting factor, in their decision-making process. Now that our position is known and with a fresh board, there should be no hinderance to new ownership arriving."
