Guy Wolfenden has left his role as Exeter City chief executive, the club have announced. The move comes exactly two weeks after Ed Chorlton left his position as club chairman, with both roles vacant as the Grecians start their league campaign at home against Portsmouth tomorrow. And a club spokesman said it was not yet known whether City would be looking to recruit a new chief executive to take over from Wolfenden. The former Warwickshire County Cricket Club commercial director only took over from Julian Tagg on October 1 last year. But after falling attendances last season led to club officials taking out a £100,000 loan from the Professional Footballers' Association, meaning they are currently under a transfer embargo, a City statement issued today said that Wolfenden had left his role with immediate effect. Wolfenden said: "I would like to thank everyone at the club for all their hard work over the previous months. The young, talented playing squad have great potential and I hope the supporters can get behind Paul Tisdale and his team this year. I wish the club every success in the future." Tagg, the club's vice-chairman who is expected to take over the running of the Grecians on a day-to-day basis, said: "The club would like to thank Guy for his professionalism in his time with us and we wish him well in his future endeavours. With Portsmouth at St James Park tomorrow, the club and the team will now focus all their efforts on the coming season." Tagg has been involved at Exeter in a variety of roles for around 18 years, previously stepping up as acting chief executive in 2011 following the departure of Norrie Stewart and combining the role with his responsibilities as executive director of football. Chorlton quit his post as chairman after four-and-a-half years in charge at St James's Park.
