Neil Danns has resigned as Southport manager. I am not totally surprised. He looked shellshocked after the defeat by Scarborough and he didn’t go over to applaud the fans after the defeat at Spalding yesterday.
He did OK last season. I don’t believe the bad start was his fault and he did well to turn it around, although he probably got lucky in the loan market. And the FA Trophy campaign was memorable.
Unfortunately it hasn’t been good this season, especially away from home. I think it is the right decision to step away but I hope he finds another post when he is ready.
No idea who will take over. I saw Jim Bentley at South Liverpool yesterday. If we are looking for someone to step in short term, I wouldn’t object to him taking over again. I doubt it will happen, though.
