Having a continued link to the Robinson family was something NFG highlighted as being important to help ensure the historic achievements of Burton’s rise from non-league levels to the heights of the Championship were preserved.
Fleur Robinson, daughter of Robinson Sr, was brought back to the club from Wrexham to take over as chief executive.
It, however, was a role she left at the end of the season.
Her exit came at the end of a chaotic first year of NFG ownership, in which the group’s founder and deputy chairman Tom Davidson stepped down alongside chairman Ole Jakob Strandhagen and commercial director Kevin Skabo.
Bendik Hareide, who started last season as sporting director, left in January after first taking a leave of absence for personal reasons.
Richard Dorman, the former technical director of Finnish team SJK Seinajoki, eventually came in as Hareide’s replacement, while Wouter Gudde, who is said to be a ‘rebuild specialist’ and formerly of Dutch side FC Groningen, has taken over as interim chairman and chief executive.
“The people who were here, and who went through last year… as long as we use those things as a learning opportunity then you certainly learn more from failure, and I say that for want of a better word and not to say it was a failure,” Mahon said.
“It’s a learning experience that can help positively influence how we proceed going forward.”
