Danny Bryant relieved of duties

Hucknall Town have told Danny Bryant that he will not be in charge of the club next season.

I suppose that with the recent string of results that this was inevitable. Previous Hucknall boss Bryan Chambers left the club because he was threatened with legal action for revealing details of the club's financial turmoil to the press. Danny Bryant was Chambers' assistant at the time and he was asked to step in until the end of the season.

A section of the Hucknall Town faithful have been unhappy with the teams recent form - to the extent that Danny's car was vandalised in the club carpark after the Bradford game at the weekend.

I know nothing of the club's finances, but having to let players like T.J. Nightingale, Luke Shiels and Lee Whittington leave must have been for financial reasons. You would try very hard to keep this calibre of player.

The replacements for these departed players were drawn from the local CML / EMCL and although capable in their own right, the UniBond for some, may have been a step too far, too soon.

I am sure Danny will be back in local football soon - both Kev and I wish him all the best.
