Falcus was into his eighth year in charge at Whickham. Assistant-manager Andrew Bulford and coach Jordan Moore have also both resigned from their positions.
Falcus
told https://whickhamfc.com: “It’s with a
heavy heart that I’ve decided to resign as Whickham manager.
“I`ve
been involved with the club for more than 26 years, first, as a player, then
assistant-manager and the last 8 years as manager.
“I
was full of optimism in the summer about our prospects this season, but sadly that
hasn’t happened and performances lately, under my management, have been poor to
say the least.
“As
leader of the group, I have to take full responsibility for this, and I feel a
new face with fresh ideas will turn the team’s fortunes around.
“The
players are more than capable of winning games and being successful. I
genuinely wish every one of them all the best.
“They
are a great group, very talented, but they need a lift.
“I’ve
got some unbelievable memories of what we achieved and it’s great that the club
is in Northern League First Division.
“I
know I’ve left the club in a better state than when I took over as manager, but
I can’t let the prospect of relegation threaten what has been built.
“The
club’s committee is small, but fantastic and I beg for the community to get
involved and help with the running of the club in any way possible as we are
really short on that side.
“Whickham
is my club and I’ll do anything I can do help it progress in whatever way I can
help”.
Director
of football Neil Wilson added: “The management team have lived and breathed
this football club. They have been very, very loyal, especially Robin Falcus,
who has been at the club for 26 years.
“Results
haven’t gone our way this season and expectations at the start of the season
were high. Robin walks away with his head held high and the club in a much
better position now than when he joined. Everyone at the club would like to
thank Robin for his hard work, committee and service to Whickham Football Club.
“There
will be a temporary management team put in charge for the game against Seaham
Red Star. Applications for the vacant manager position should go to
whickhamfcsecretary@hotmail.co.uk.
“The
club still have big plans and ambitions to progress and this will continue
under new leadership. The club will be making a shortlist of all applications
and will be looking to appoint a new manager as soon as possible”. |
