Rawden,
who took charge of the Gingerbreads in February 2019, alongside Russell Cousins
and Adam Smith, was bought in to keep the club in the Premier Division, and
achieved this aim, notably beating league leaders South Shields 2-1 at The
Meres in their first game in charge.
Former
interim chair Sophie Cope shared praise for the management team for riding the
storm and supporting the club through one of the most difficult times the club
has seen of late. She told https://www.granthamtownfc.com:
“I’m disappointed to see the guys go, I genuinely am. They’ve took a lot of
flack recently which in my opinion was unjustified. I still stand by my
decision to keep Paul and Russ as managers who at the time were our best option
for staying up. We now have new investors who have the resources available to
make changes and the two guys have paved way for that to happen.
"It
goes without saying that we wish Paul, Russ and Adam all the best in their
future endeavours."
Danny
Racchi will take charge of Saturday's game with Stalybridge Celtic, whilst
discussions are ongoing to fill the vacant managerial post as soon as
practically possible.
