Tough week for Knaresborough Town

This week has been pretty eventful for the club. The club has had to come to the decision of parting company with the first team manager. It was a decision not taken lightly for we all know how difficult a job it is but it was felt that it was in the best interests of the club if we did do it now and then who ever took over would have some time to try and turn things around. That someone happens to be Michael West and myself. Both of us have had previous experience of managing in the West Yorkshire League and believe that we will be able to help get the team out of this situation. It must be stressed though that neither of us have any ambitions for football management, other than to see the end of the season out for our club and keep it in the Premier Division of the West Yorkshire League. It is merely a case of club members offering their services and experience, whilst the club seek out an alternative.
We still have thirteen games to play, all which will be tough but we believe that we can turn it round with a lot of hard work and determination. The squad of players must believe that they can turn things around and above all unite. It is easy to do this when things are going well, it is now that we have our backs to the wall that we must be as one in our commitment to get out of the relegation zone.
