Sim, 74, who played a key role in the 2005 Rovers takeover and became owner of Stark’s Park via Stark’s Park Properties, previously stepped down from day-to-day operations at Rovers after selling a stake to a new consortium in 2023, but he retained a ‘hands on’ role prior to returning as interim chairman this spring.
