Welsh
is the phoenix club`s first manager and was appointed in the summer of 2020 and
although his reign has been somewhat blighted by the effects of the global pandemic,
he has put the club on a solid footing and they look like strong challengers
for the title this season having played some free flowing, attacking football
that has merited the points they have accumulated so far this season.
His
record in charge so far shows 14 wins from his 21 games, giving a percentage
win-ratio of 66.09% which is excellent in such a competitive Division.
Speaking
to www.Buryafc.co.uk, Welsh spoke of his pride of the contract extension,
stating: "First and foremost, I want to thank the board for recognising
the steps we have taken already on the pitch, and off it, to build the squad we
have now. They are turning in performances week in, week out at the moment that
the fans are excited to watch and be proud in supporting.
“We
as a staff team are desperate to maintain the performances levels reached so
far throughout this season. If we do that, we won’t be far off where we want to
be at the end of the season and thankfully, we can now have one eye towards the
future development also.
“As
I have said on numerous occasions already, the fans play a huge part of what
this club brings. The players get a buzz out of running out in front of 1,200,
1,300, 1,400 noisy supporters and giving their all for this club. This is only
going to build as this, and future seasons, develop.
“Lastly,
I am immensely proud to be the manager of this club. The mentality, team ethic
and hard work isn’t just on the pitch. It includes everyone behind the scenes
too. As a club we may not always get things right, but everyone has a role to
play, and we have created a great environment that everyone wants to be a part
of. I want to thank everyone at the club for buying into what we have
implemented on the playing side”. |
