Another National North Manager Loses His Job

Another National North League manager has lost his job.

This time it is Tommy Miller who was until earlier today in charge at Spennymoor.

Yesterday Spennymoor lost 2-0 at Gloucester. Former Hereford loanee striker Ollie Hulbert scored one of Gloucester's goals and two Spennymoor players were red carded during the game.

“Firstly, I’d like to thank Tommy for his years of dedication and hard work for the club," said Tony Wilson, Managing Director at Spennymoor.

“He has been a tireless servant, demanding the very best of himself and his players at all times.

“It’s clear to everyone that the current form of the team falls short of the performance levels required to meet our strategic goals.

“This position is unfamiliar for Spennymoor Town, as we’ve enjoyed constant progress for the last decade.  Despite our form, we are still in touch with the play-offs positions, so I think it’s important to remember this and keep the current situation in perspective.

“For these reasons, we have all been adult enough to recognise that now is the time that a change is required and have acted on this."

Miller took over from Jason Ainsley earlier this year.  Ainsley will take charge until a new manager is appointed.
