shareholding in Chester City. Control of the club passed back to Stephen Vaughan Jr., with Vaughan Sr. continuing to inject loans into the club, as fans stayed away. By February 2010 Vaughan had stopped any injection of capital into the club so they were unable to fulfill their financial obligations, and the club was suspended from the Football Conference, pending a vote on their ejection to be held on 26 February. The decision was made to expel Chester City from the Football Conference and, following a court order on 10 March, it was confirmed that the club were to be wound up. Move to Malta On 4 April 2010, Vaughan Sr. and his son, along with a 29-year-old man from Neston, were arrested on suspicion of affray and the serious assault of a police officer. Both were convicted, with Vaughan Sr. sentenced to fifteen months in jail, and his son given community service. Vaughan remained in jail until his release in September 2011, by which time Vaughan Jr. had begun to rebuild the Vaughan Boxing promotion business. Vaughan attempted a return to football in 2012, when he tried to launch a new club in Widnes, but failed due to being refused permission to use Halton Stadium. In April 2012, Vaughan purchased Floriana FC of Malta. Stephen Vaughan Jr. was subsequently appointed Chairman/ President of the club in January 2013. With this move, the Vaughan Boxing Promotions company also shifted toward boxing promotion in Malta. In February 2014, the Vaughan family sold their investment in Floriana FC to Riccardo Gaucci, joining Mosta FC as main shirt sponsors, and then in the summer of 2014 signed a 2-year sponsorship with Hibernians FC. Return to the UK In 2016, Vaughan helped create a company called VSM ('Vaughan Sports Management), which became the main shirt sponsors of Bangor City when new organizers purchased the club. Although Vaughan Sr was present at the launch of the new ownership, the new chairman Ivor Jenkins insisted that Vaughan who has been banned since 2010 from being a company director in UK – was not involved with running the club. Stephen Vaughan Jr. was later appointed as Director of Football and a coach at the club.
