Owner and chairperson Michelle Harness said: “To be saying goodbye to Jimmy, Chris and Ant is undoubtedly one of our toughest decisions since we took ownership of the club, and it is a decision we’ve made with a very heavy heart.
“We inherited significant debt, along with a budget and payroll which by far exceeds the level that we are currently operating at, and we need to work hard this summer to bring that back to a level where we can both compete at, but also remain sustainable, and this must start at football management level… .
Reading between these lines, it sounds like his departure has nothing to do with the football, just that they couldn’t agree financials.
Sadly, we’re back in the precarious situation of a year ago, with a smaller squad and less to spend.
But hey ho, maybe we’ll find a manager who’ll build a team which scores more goals than anyone else, has a better goal difference, and can finish higher than second. Trebles all round??
