BERNARD TAYLOR'S CONTRACT ENDED

The following is a Press Release from Altrincham FC.

Press Announcement.

The Directors of Altrincham Football Club, after consultation with a number of the major shareholders in the club, have today terminated the contract of the Manager, Mr Bernard Taylor. This decision was arrived at following the team's recent poor run of results culminating in the FA Cup defeat at Guiseley on Saturday. The Board wish to record their appreciation of Mr Taylor's efforts during the years with which he has been associated with Altrincham Football Club.

Mr Taylor's replacement will be Mr Graham Heathcote, who has been involved with Altrincham Football Club, both as a player and in various off field activities for the last 30 years. Mr Heathcote will combine the role of team manager with that of General Secretary. Mr Geoff Goodwin, Chairman of Altrincham Football Club commented "Graham's experience of both Altrincham and the non-league football scene will be invaluable during these worrying times. We are still in a serious financial situation and the new Manager will have to work within the same budgetary constraints as Mr Taylor had previously".

The Board are acutely aware of the fans concerns at this present time and are thus proposing to hold an open fans' meeting this coming Friday, commencing at 6.45pm in the Noel White Suite.
