Caretaker Manager Appointed At Rossendale
Mon 11th October 2010 | Rossendale United | By Ian Templeman
Following the departure of John Hughes and Mickey Graham from Rossendale United, the club has announced the appointment of Paul Colgan as Caretaker Manager.
Paul (pictured left) has been on the coaching staff at Rossendale United since early 2010. He holds FA Coaching qualifications and has experience of Management at clubs in the North West Counties, Northern Premier and Conference Leagues.
He will be joined at Dark Lane by Garry Brown as Assistant and Paul Williams as coach.Â
In the interests of continuity, and to afford Paul and his team a realistic opportunity of making a difference, the Directors have decided to appoint the Caretaker Manager to the end of 2010, whereupon the position will be reviewed.
Â
Club Chairman Steve Hobson said: "We have had a massive amount of interest in the club which would, if handled properly and fairly, take a long time to process. Paul is very keen to change the fortunes of Rossendale United and it would not be right to simply 'use him' for a few games, whilst we bring someone else in, only for more change to occur.
"If we did not have confidence in Paul we wouldn't have had him part of the backroom team in the first place, nor placed him in charge as Caretaker Manager. I am sure this decision will disappoint a great many applicants for the Manager's position, however, after discussions with Paul and his team, we believe it is the right thing to do in the best interests of everyone, and will maintain our reputation as a club with honesty and integrity."Â
