Dennis Leaves AFC Emley

8th March, 2008

AFC Emley have accepted the resignation of their manager, Ray Dennis.

Dennis, who had been at the helm of the club since it was formed three years ago, offered to go after the 6-0 home defeat to Parkgate in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup on Tuesday.

A club statement to the NCEL Website said: "At a hastily arranged Management Committee Meeting on Thursday, with Ray in attendance, it was decided to accept his resignation and to ask Nicky Bramald and Daryl Brook to take over the Managers position at least until the end of the season.

"This will give everyone time to evaluate the situation and make considered judgements.

"Ray states that he made this decision because he felt he had gone as far as he could with the team and that the team seemed unable to play the way he wanted.

"He, therefore, felt that someone else should take the helm and see if the club could make the progress that he some much wanted.

"We are very pleased to announce that Ray will not be leaving the club.

"He will stay on the Management Committee of the Club as a working member.

"This club has been a part of Ray's life for so many years that we were extremely pleased that he is to stay on in a committee role.

"From the management's perspective we know and understand that the managers have had a very difficult role especially with very little money.

"Finances at clubs like ours are at a premium, which is why we need to get the clubhouse completed and opened so that we may be able to finance the football team instead of watching money being spent elsewhere.

"We anticipate that the clubhouse should be completed by the end of March and then we hope to take the development into Stage Two which will be to extend the dressing room area to include a Physio Room, Lady Officials changing room and extend the Away Dressing Room.

"Finally, we ask for everyone's support both to the players on the field and the Committee off it. We ask for your patience whilst we get things right both on and off the field."
