Player departures

As Michael Clegg looks to get his squad into shape the players have departed:-

Jordan Fagbola, Nyal Bell and Mo Malumo have been released.  Lewis Thompson is taking up an offer to go and play football in New Zealand.

We thank the players for all their efforts this season and wish them well.

Also leaving on a short term deal is Ayo Quadri who is going to North West Counties Premier Division leaders Wythenshawe FC on dual reg.

Michael Clegg said ”With the situation we are in we need to freshen things up and try and free up some money to get players in.

In Ayo’s case he hasn’t had a lot of football, he’s still part of my plans but we need him to get minutes so we have sent him to Wythenshawe”

Hyde United have appointed Michael Clegg to the managerial position vacated yesterday by Martin Coyne. The appointment is initially to the end of the current season.

Michael has an abundance of experience at this level, having enjoyed successful managerial spells at Atherton Collieries, Ashton United, Warrington Rylands and Macclesfield FC, and is looking forward to the challenge of pulling the club clear of the relegation zone.

He will take charge of the team on Tuesday night for the away game at Gainsborough, with assistance from Jack Redshaw.

We welcome Michael to the club.

Statement – Martin Coyne

After today’s home defeat to Rushall Olympic, Martin Coyne has tendered his resignation as manager, which has been accepted by the board.

Whilst enjoying a successful spell after taking over as manager following the departure of Nick Spooner, Martin has found a win elusive in recent games, and today’s result has seen the club fall back into the relegation zone.

Chairman Steve Hartley has paid tribute to Martin’s managership, with thorough preparation for each match, keeping to the budget and communicating at all times. “First and foremost Martin is a Hyde United fan, and he has always done what is best for the club. He can leave with his head held high in the knowledge that he gave it his best shot. I am really sorry it didn’t work out, but am pleased that he will remain with the club to continue the fantastic work he has done with the Juniors.”
Coaches Harry Bunn and Chris Shaw have also been a credit to the club. Their roles will be reviewed once a new appointment is made.
A further announcement will be made in the next couple of days, prior to our next difficult fixture away to Gainsborough Trinity on Tuesday..
