Wycombe managing director Steve Hayes wants to become the club's main shareholder to pave the way for a move to a new stadium.

Wanderers' debts are mounting and Hayes, who bought just under a 25% stake in the club when he became director five years ago, has leant the club £7million worth of loan notes and wants to turn a proportion of this into shares.

Hayes, who will outline his blueprint for the club's long-term future at a shareholders meeting later this month, said: "After the euphoria of winning promotion and the exciting prospect of League One football next season, the time has arrived to give serious consideration to the club's long-term future."

He added: "In the time that I have been involved with the club, I have contributed around £7m of my own money in the form of loan notes to help move the club forward. I went on record some time ago saying that this situation could not go on indefinitely and that my financial input would only continue until the end of this current season.

"My proposal is to change the enshrined right that forbids any individual from holding more than 25% of shares in WWFCPLC at any one time.

"This has to be removed in order to achieve the solution I'm proposing. I'm also convinced that the only way the club can move forward - and eventually reach a break-even situation - is by moving to a new stadium. For the plan to work, any barriers to achieving this also need to be removed."
