It states on the Ryman site that Brian Statham has resigned from Heybridge Swifts today. We will have to see what Saturday brings now.

Ryman Premier Division Heybridge Swifts are saddened to announce the resignation of long serving manager Brian Statham. After a stuttering start to his fourth full season in charge, Statham has taken the decision to resign as manager. All at the club would like to thank Statham for his tremendous efforts on behalf of the club, taking them to two Ryman Premiership play off contests and providing many outstanding memories for the club's supporters including an FA Trophy visit to Conference outfit Exeter last season. Also leaving Swifts are coach Barry Lakin and Director of Football Steve Pitt.

 

Swifts Chairman Andrew Barber commented : "Brian came into Swifts like a breath of fresh air and invigorated the playing side of the club, quickly gaining tremendous support from everyone involved with Swifts. His professionalism, enthusiasm and unstinting energy in trying to achieve success for the team could not be faulted and I would like to thank Brian, his coach Barry Lakin, and Director of Football Steve Pitt for their hard work and their accomplishments during their tenure at Swifts, and wish them every future success."

 

The Club have moved quickly to fill the void and reserve team manager Wayne Bond has been appointed as first team manager with coach Keith Wallis moving with Bond. A former Wimbledon player in their crazy gang days; Bond has managed Swifts Reserves to two successive Essex & Herts Border Combination League titles, and has been largely responsible for a steady flow of young talent coming through his hands and into the first team squad. Wallis is a former player with Swifts who has been Bond's right hand man since they joined the club together.

 

Barber again commented : "Bond has a tough job with a largely young squad currently in the bottom four of the league, but his unique brand of humour, and motivational skills allied to a keen football brain will serve the club well in the future."

Hope so buzz, but as we know this league is already throwing up strange results.
