Karl Rose has resigned at Frickley
Karl Rose has resigned as manager of Frickley Athletic, just five games into the new season.
Frickley have lost all five, but his decision comes as a huge shock as he has enjoyed four good years in charge. He also led Frickley to three Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup final victories. His final game was the 4-0 home defeat to Mickleover Sports on Saturday.
Chairman Gareth Dando, said: ”We’re all disappointed by Karl’s decision to leave the club but understand why he made it. He’s been a pleasure to work alongside for the last four years and I can’t remember a crossed word with him in that time.
“He’s been a very good fit for Frickley and whilst there have been ups and downs he’s certainly exceeded what has been expected of him. Last season gave all our supporters some great memories and Karl, his family and friends will be welcome back up the Lane any time.
“We’d like to wish him all the best in the future. He’s left us with a nucleus of a good squad that’s out of form. but I’m sure the situation can be turned round quickly”
Lee Stratford and James Dudgeon have also left. Jon Hood and Mick Thompson are in charge tomorrow afternoon at Whitby Town.
