Following a board meeting on Sunday 24 March,
Northallerton Town Football Club has released the following statement.
Team manager Mark Fanning and assistant Martin Collins
have resigned from their positions at the club with immediate effect. Both felt
that due to changes being implemented at the club their positions had become untenable.
Fanning released this statement on behalf of himself and Mr
Collins: “Firstly we would like to thank the board and committee at the club
for giving us this opportunity. We appreciate the help and support they have always
given us. We would also like to thank the players for their commitment and hard
work and to the supporters who have always been first class.
“This is a decision we have not taken lightly and we are
both disappointed things have come to this. We would like to wish everyone at
the club all the best for the future.”
Former Town boss Peter Mulcaster has taken temporary charge
until the end of the season at which point the situation will be reviewed.
“I am absolutely delighted to be back at the club,” said
Mulcaster. “I cannot wait to get started and I am looking forward to the
challenge ahead.”
Club captain Danny Shoulder will be working closely with
Mulcaster to ensure as little disruption as possible to team affairs. Shoulder
said: “I am hopeful the players will stick together and see this season through
as we have been together a long time and are like a family.
“We have a massive cup game this week and we want to
focus on that now.
“All the players would like to wish Mark and Martin all
the best for the future and thank them for the work they have done at the club
over the years. They put this side together which did not happen overnight, and
of course they brought us that great night in Ernest Armstrong cup final last
season.”
The club has nothing further to add at this time.
