Turner quits
Graham Turner is set to quit Hereford United FC as both chairman and director of football.
The ex-Wolves boss, who has led the club for four years as chairman, told ClubCall: "I indicated to the board last week that I intended to resign from my position and I think along with that could well be and probably will be the resignation of the company secretary Joan Fennessy. I think it's been very difficult over the last three to three and a half years keeping the club alive. It's been a terrific strain making ends meet and there comes a time when you say hang on - there's no fun in doing this. There's a lot of supporters, quite wealthy ones, who might well be interested in coming and taking on board the problems that we've got."
A board meeting is being held today (Monday) at 2pm, where the directors will discuss the future of the club. Whether anyone else is set to step into the reigns at Edgar Street remains to be seen.
The club have huge financial problems but with Herefordshire Council leader Terry James' plans for the development of the Edgar Street site and news that two promotion places from the Nationwide Conference were likely to be available for next season, there were positive aspects for new investors to look forward to.
Turner commended his off-the-field staff, adding: "We haven't achieved a great deal on the park but we have kept the club afloat and I don't think that should be underestimated."
