Acting chairman Graham Wood told https://www.wittonalbionfc.co.uk: “Witton Albion have been relegated from the Northern Premier League – Premier Division despite our final result of the season – a 4-0 home win against Basford United. We have enjoyed a fabulous return to form in the final five games of the season which saw the team achieve 12 points from the available 15 - a run that was the third best in the league.
“In
reality, the damage had already been done earlier in the season, with a very
poor run that saw us only gaining one point from an available 24. The Board are
obviously disappointed with this outcome for the current season but would like
to thank the players and management for their sterling efforts in the last few
games.
“However,
the Board believe time has come for a change. Accordingly, we have informed
Carl Macauley and Gary Martindale that we will not be renewing their contracts
when they come to an end in May.
“Carl
and Gary have done a great job for us during their tenure, and I have enjoyed working
with them during my time as acting chairman. I wish them well for the future
and would like to thank them for their service to the club particularly Carl
who was appointed manager in 2015 and played 89 times for the club between 1994
and 1996.
“No
further changes are planned at this stage pending the appointment of a new manager.
“The
Board have discussed our future plans and are currently working on a playing budget
for next season. We have commenced our search for a new manager and would hope
to make an announcement within the next few weeks.
“Finally,
I would like to put on record the Board’s appreciation for our fabulous
volunteers who, together with our fans, are the life blood of our club. Without
their support the club would find it very difficult to operate as effectively
as it does.
“We
have a great stadium and with the fans and volunteers behind the new manager I
am sure we will soon be enjoying quality football again at the U-LockIT Stadium”.
