Ken Kinnersley, who steps down as chairman of Hereford FC next Monday, has admitted that the last twelve months have been 'really difficult'.
Kinnersley took over from Jon Hale as chairman in 2017.
Last September the club took the decision to dismiss former manager Peter Beadle and coach Steve Jenkins.
"The last 12 months has been really difficult, we did expect it to be a
challenge but I don't think we were really prepared for the challenge,
which was the problem," Kinnersley told the Hereford Times.
"Hopefully now we will stabilise and will be able to push forwards now in the coming seasons."
Reflecting on his time in charge he thought there were three pluses, the first moving into the National North League.
"In truth that's the biggest plus I will take away from the five years I have been involved in the club.
"We have made quite a lot of progress on the Blackfriars End but that's something we're not going to see until 2022 possible even later depending on what we find when we start work on that end.
"The third element I'm really pleased about is the relationship with Pegasus and what's going to happen at Old School Lane in terms of the 3G pitch and that will be the base of the Hereford FC Community Engagement programme.
"Those are the three big pluses I will take from what has happened but the fans and people of Herefordshire are not going to see the benefits until that's fully on stream and working properly and then I believe particularly Pegasus will be an asset for the city."
