Sheffield FC have played their games outside of their home city, in Dronfield in North East Derbyshire, since 2001.
The club has made several attempts to return to Sheffield over the past two decades, with the latest plans unveiled in November 2023 as a joint venture with Sheffield Eagles Rugby League Club.
McClure said they were looking at “a bunch of places” for a new stadium, with a move to the former Sheffield Transport Sports Club site at Meadowhead remaining a possibility.
“The planning application is still live and we’re undertaking a review,” he said.
“We don’t want to take anything off the table. It’s about engaging constructively with the people in charge in this city, the council and the mayoral authority.
“I think everybody wants the club back in the city, but there’s only Sheffield that could invent football and build a B&Q car park on it.”
McClure said he acknowledged there would be some scepticism about a local musician becoming the chairman of the world’s oldest football club.
“Judge it in a year. If it’s not tangibly in a better place than it is now, come and see me at a match and discuss why you think that’s not the case,” he said.
“But give me a year to just do some stuff, because I think we’re going to move the dial on this considerably.
“We’re trying to build a community here, and we’re trying to do something for the city, because this city is amazing.
“For far too long now this city has not shouted about itself. It’s enough now.
“Now’s our time to stand up and say this city’s brilliant.
“We invented this game, and this club invented this game, and we’re going to celebrate that.”
