Hi all,

 

I thought it was time to say my goodbyes and give my opinion on a few things.

 

'Do your job' is a saying that you may have heard from the dug out, it is what Mark told the players to do. It was my job to make sure the players new that job both offensively and defensively. The players took this on board and tried their best to do this, along the way we had some problems eg. fitness at Hastings, Psychological when we went in front eg. Harrow, Horsham and others, 10 men Hendon. The players were great in their commitment and effort and in trying to take their R & R on board unfortunately they/we were not able to adapt quickly when those R & R changed (in ways mentioned above).

We were working through these problems and I genuinely believe we were really close to being a very good side.

 

For the record I never wanted a contract and Mark was looking for assurances about his position (it was never about money), he was working unbelievable hours but felt the message to him was a very mixed one. I new my role and responsibilities as he made them very clear to me (as explained above) the players new their role and responsibilities (as I have explained above). Marks seemed to change, reduce the budget then sign Carl Rook, reduce the budget. He had opportunities to sign supposed good players but felt they were asking to much money and he did not wish to burden the club or waste its money. The players that he brought in have consistently won the man of the match awards and performed as a whole very well and within budget boundaries. He felt we had enough about us to comfortably stay up and wanted to concentrate on building a squad to challenge next year but wanted assurances that he was not doing all this work and then was not going to be here. There seemed to be rumblings that all was not happy with the progress. What I believe he needed was a clear message which unfortunately I do not believe he got.

 

As Mark decided to offer his resignation I could not stay at the club as he brought me here and I am loyal to him. I would of however stayed until a new Manager was found but unfortunately no one from the club spoke to me (I would of stayed with Marks blessing, in football it is inevitable that you leave, when leave you want to leave a club in the best position possible).

 

Mr Chairman UNDOUBTEDLY has the clubs best interests at heart and although I only spoke to him on 3 or 4 occasions his passion for the club was clear to see. As is all of you FANS, its a real shame it wasn't for longer I really enjoyed my time at Margate FC and wish all the players, supporters, staff, board members and Chairman the very best of luck in the future. I intend to watch the game v Wealdstone next week and would love for anyone and everyone to come and have a chat and maybe a pint with me.

 

Regards, best wishes and goodbye

This part of that interview concerns me: " A few of my signings were very upset "

 

His signings have been our better players in recent games, but if Butler and Beeks get a new gig some time soon, how many of those players will follow them over the summer?

 

tbh I can't blame them if they do, Butler's a good manager and Beeks is a great coach
