Whilst Hereford United supporters await details of today's board meeting, BN looks back to October 2001, when Graham Turner quit as manager after a 4-1 defeat at Hayes.
Graham Turner told the Evening News why he decided to quit as Hereford United manager.
The former Wolves and Aston Villa manager remains at the club as chairman, he is the majority shareholder, but Phil Robinson will take over the team affairs.
"The biggest problem is that I have not been too involved in the day-to-day coaching this season," he said. "I've had one or two disciplinary problems and the players probably see me as this big ogre that shouts a lot and rarely gets involved. After Saturday's performance I thought it was best if I relinquished control of the playing side.
"The truth is I've been trying to wear too many hats during what has been a crucial period for the club.
United are in desparate financial difficulties and Turner finds himself overworked. "It's a difficult job just keeping the club alive and at times we have been in absolute despair wondering where the next lot of money was coming from to pay the wages."
Anyone wanting Turner's majority shareholding could have them as he remained a football man, but he doubted if anyone would step in. "There's no fun sitting round a boardroom table discussing tax and VAT when you are a football man," he said.
The new manager, for the next two games at least, is Phil Robinson, who is also a player. Tonight, the Bulls are at Edgar Street against Farnborough Town and Robinson said: "Everybody is disappointed and feels a little responsible --and rightly so. I am just hoping for a positive response from the players."
"I've had a chat with them and everybody is fully behind me and I just want to see if that shows on the field. Sometimes something like this can spark a response from players and that is what I'm hoping we will get."
