After interviews held with two prospective Managers on Thursday last and Sunday [what happened to the weekend] it is with great pleasure that we announce that Nigel Deeley has stepped up a rung to take the reins as Manager of Witton Albion FC.

Nigel has had great support from last season's playing staff and this has influenced his decision to fill the void left by JV. Nigel will decide shortly who his number two will be.

Mark and myself have had talks also this evening with players Liam Brownhill, Mark Peers and Brian Pritchard who are all delighted with the appointment of Nigel Deeley. Whilst there has been interest in Liam and Mark by other clubs they are aware that they are contracted at Witton and Nigel will be discussing terms with them, and indeed with others now that he is in post.

Finally I would personally like to thank Mark Harris, who has had meetings all day today about Witton including the appointment of a Commercial Director who will be unveiled on Saturday.

See you Thursday. Any questions will be answered then.
