Historic Barfly's appeal for new manager

 

The Search for a new manager

is underway at Hucknall's oldest sunday morning football club, Barfly's after

manager Dean Wealthall stepped down after four seasons in charge.

 

The club, now located at H20 on Hucknall High Street after moving from their spiritual home at

the Plough and Harrow

in 2011, stated their thanks to Wealthall and immediately began the search

for a new manager to lead them into a new era.

 

Chairman and stalwart Tony

Knowles said, "Dean did a fantastic job in taking us up to the Premier Premier and to the County Cup final

but he felt it was time to move on."

 

Due to work commitments and

the frustrating lack of players, Wealthall felt that

the time was right for someone else to come in and take the

club forward.  There were also rumours that Barfly's had decided to call it a day after twenty five years but after a

crisis meeting on the 16th of December it was clear that there was massive support

from the committee, players past

and present and many supporters

and the club reiterated their desire to continue and would be looking for a new

manger to lead them into a brand new era for the Barfly's.

 

The club have also appealed

for players and anyone who would like to sponsor the club to come forward and, with a strong committee and a large loyal fan base which is the

envy of many local teams, it was clear there is real will for the club to

continue.

 

Chairman

Tony Knowles said "In the

words of Mark Twain reports of the death of the Barfly's have been greatly

exaggerated!"  Seriously though, no-one

wanted the club to fold and there were some real feelings in the meeting and it

is clear that historic Barfly's must and will continue ."

 

The

club are looking for a new manager with real commitment and any interested

parties or any players interested

in joining the Barfly's revolution should

contact Tony Knowles directly on 07946870925.  The closing date for

applications is the 29th of December.

 

Tony

said, "a New Year is almost upon us and now is the time to move forward

and take Barfly's into 2013."
