A
statement on https://www.billericaytownfc.co.uk
reads: “We appointed Kevin and Mark at a difficult time due to the Covid
restrictions and they also inherited a team that were already struggling in the
league. It was therefore right to allow them to build their own squad and have
the time to settle a team into their own style of play. However, football is a
results business and neither the points won nor the performances on the pitch
have been acceptable to date. Ultimately, the Board are accountable for
ensuring that we maintain our ‘hard earned’ National League status and that we
are all proud of first team performances.
“No
one sets out to lose football matches and we appreciate the effort that Kevin
and Mark have put into the club since their arrival. They are both ‘good guys’
and we wish them well for the future.
“Danny
Brown will prepare the team this week and work with team captain Lawrie Wilson
to ensure that we are ready to take on Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday.
“The
Board recognise that we need to move quickly to identify a replacement
management team and that we have important home games coming up in the next few
weeks. However, we also need to ensure that we find the right individuals to
lead this club up the league and ensure that aspects such as recruitment are
improved. We already have a shortlist and will also see if any new candidates
now emerge. Regardless, this will not be a ‘long winded’ process and we hope to
make a further announcement in time for the next home game”.
