Auld Heid Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 It is with a heavy heart that after a phone call today from the club I have tendered my resignation. I have had 10 brilliant years at the club winning trophies as a player and a manager. Many fantastic memories that I will cherish especially being inducted into the Glenafton hall of fame and winning the treble. I would like to thank all the players that I have played alongside and worked with over the last 10 years. The current group of players and I were really excited to see what the new and exciting season had to offer and have worked tirelessly over the course of pre season to be ready. We were really excited after we voted as a club to get back playing. The committee has to do what’s best for the club and today they have decided to withdraw from the WOSFL. I would also like to thanks Pottsy, Billy and Michelle for all the efforts and making my job easier and enjoyable over the time I have been manager. Also I would to go on record thanking the committee for all there efforts with this fantastic club over the years and I will always be a supporter of the Glens. A very special mention to the fans of the club who have been a avid supporter of myself and my teams over the years. Flow gently, sweet Afton [emoji837][emoji836]️[emoji837] -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a lot of work getting his team ready for the new season, Glenafton voted to continue the season then he finds out today they've changed their minds. He obviously disagrees with the decision and has resigned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot depends on whether the players and management were willing to play on expenses only until fans get back. If not, the committee have a stronger case for doing what they did. If they have been playing friendlies in recent weeks, it almost certainly isn't about a sudden concern over safety.

TheLad Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So after 10 amazing years he leaves because the club is looking after the players, fans and committee??? He maybe wants to actually be involved in football this season, which he cant be at Glenafton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash city rocker Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 He's got plenty time to change his mind. Glens won't need a manager for a while. Quite sure they will welcome him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Needlessly panicked and jumped shipped", you are not being serious surely? Their statement quite clearly states its down to financial implications of the current restrictions, its no that difficult to get your head around. In a few weeks there would be no money for wages due to dependency on match day income. Sounds like the correct decision to me. I would be very surprised if many teams across the leagues with sizable outgoings do not come to the same conclusion down the line, probably sooner than later.
