drs Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Bestsinceslicebread said: Where is the news for this. Cant find any official media that says he has resigned Goodnight sweet and sour Prince - Darvel Football Club can announce today that Michael Kennedy has resigned as the club’s manager. Michael has been in charge since February 2019, winning 2 league titles, of which last year was the inaugural West of Scotland Premier League, but just pipped at the post for promotion to Lowland League. Then the emphatic Scottish Cup runs both last season and this season with a massive win over SPFL giants Aberdeen in the 4th Round. But following a meeting between Club President John Gall and Michael today, he will leave post with immediate effect. Darvel FC wish Michael success in the future and thank him for his service. John Gall said “Michael has been an integral part of everything at this Club throughout his tenure and has poured more than just managerial duties into the mix. He has been an absolute joy to work alongside over the last 4 seasons, with memories that will last a lifetime and for that I will always be proud to call Michael a friend. The Club will always be the main focus for me and it saddens me that this is the end of the journey. Michael has been instrumental in leaving us with good solid foundations both in terms of infrastructure and playing squad that will continue to thrive well beyond his departure. I would like to thank Michael for his services and utmost professionalism shown during his time, he will always be a legend ‘doon the brae’ and wish him well for whatever the future may hold” Club Captain, Daryl Meggatt and Craig McEwan will take interim charge of the team until further notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile E Coyote Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Ths is the start of the demise of Darvel as we all predicted. In a few years they will either be dead or down a couple of divisions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly translated, he’s been tapped up by EK and his head has been turned so we need to let him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Always came across as a decent guy but it's ultimately a failure this season. To be so far behind beith with that squad is simply not good enough. What happen next with these players is anyone's guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benidorm Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I've always sort of questioned if the money at Darvel was coming from Kennedy/Black Rooster or Gall/Brownings. We will find out now. EK another club with backers so not surprising if the likes of him and Ferry pitch up there. Signed the likes of Alan Lithgow, Kyle Connell, Bob McHugh in the last year and they're miles off it so will be interesting to see how this pans out. I suspect even more money will be thrown at it and more big names recruited as part of the "project". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
