York City fans have taken to social media to express their feelings after chairman Jason McGill and CEO Jackie McNamara stood down.

After the news broke on Tuesday (March 27), the City faithful took to Facebook and Twitter to give vent to their feelings.

Scrolling through the various Facebook and Twitter feeds you feel a sense of optimism, but with a big cloud of worry, panic and uncertainty…

Holiday celebrations

Jackie’s next job

Yes it’s true I’m leaving York and looking back to get into football management at a level that my skills and knowledge would be a perfect fit. With that in mind I’ve applied for the position of Blind Scotland Subbuteo under 16’s Manager. I feel I could make a difference! #ycfc pic.twitter.com/PdOISnKuB6

Putin calling

Jason & Jackie suddenly disappear in a hurry just as Russian diplomats around the world are sent home. Coincidence? #ycfc

Looking to the future

Right now where finally rid of jackie, this is the time for all the stay away fans to come back and make us stronger #ycfc

An annoying spot on the face of #ycfc has miraculously disappeared. It's going to take a lot of effort & hard work to get this club back to where it belongs but the horizon just got a whole lot clearer. It starts now. The future is ours.

In all seriousness though, now is the time we must show how much we this club means to us. A poison has been cleansed and now we can rebuild, but first we must get behind to lads starting tonight! For the first time in a while, I'm buzzing, and can finally see some light! #ycfc pic.twitter.com/JmBmI4ZGyd

Enjoy the moment people, however we have a huge mountain to climb. For one reason or another changes have been made, time to step up, fight for this club. Take this optimism into the new ground and give ourselves a future we can be proud of. #ycfc ??

Really great news from @YorkCityFC on the new board. A fresh outlook with varied board members each skilled in their own area. Surely an improvement on the Jason/Jackie combo! #ycfc

The men responsible for dragging the club to the lowest ebb in it's history. Good riddance. Fingers crossed for more prudent and responsible stewardship from now on. #YCFC https://t.co/55BxKODBa5

A new era begins and yes we are full of positivity here but also we now need a guidance. Having read the statement we need that new owner sooner than later and now THAT does worry. We said in the podcast its quite exciting but also right now this does worry #ycfc

Fears for the club

SOS. Desperately seeking the silver lining in the dark cloud which envelopes York City. Today the Chairman resigned. Good news, he took the CEO with him. Strong rumour that The Samaritans are opening a branch at Bootham Crescent. #ycfc #jmpackaging #nationalleaguenorth pic.twitter.com/Y3gEjeh4uA

All i can see is people celebrating, but i'm confused now as to whos paying the massive wage bill we have? The trust?? ??? #ycfc

Gratitude to JM

Not having this as a happy day. I don’t care about Jackie he’s never really been part of our club. Jason on the other hand was, he’s taken us to places I’d thought were lost! Thank you Jason for all you’ve done, the ending may have been sour but you’ve been great! #ycfc
