I Was Given A Blind Horse And Asked To Win The Grand National Said Pemberton

Former Kidderminster manager John Pemberton has been giving his version of events which led to him leaving the club.

This morning the club issued a statement about him leaving in essence blaming Pemberton for their poor form this season. (http://bullsnews.blogspot.com/2019/11/manager-pemberton-quits-harriers.html)

However, as reported by the Halesowen News, Pemberton has hit back.

"I was given a blind horse and asked to win the Grand National. 

"All I've been told is lies. The statement made it clear they have taken no responsibility. I found the position untenable, I cannot carry on in the circumstances, for six months it's been a firefight.

"I have had no backing at the club, all they have done is move the goalposts, I was promised the Earth but they cut budgets.

"I had nine players for pre-season, I signed Ashley Hemmings and thought that would start a turnaround but I was told I couldn't bring in any players."

Pemberton said he had agreed to go quitely but then read the Kidderminster statement.

"I found it difficult to read, I thought that is not right. I walked away and was happy to keep my mouth shut but they are pushing it under my door. I wish they had been honest from day one so I knew what I was walking into."
