Ian Pethick Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Heard on the Cornwall Football podcast about Macca Brown resigning as Millbrook manager, anybody know anymore detail about this? Seems like a big story given how well they are going in the SWPL East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetty Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Read it was due to having a young family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruegel the Elder Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Not surprising, the Christmas/New Year fixture congestion would put a strain on anyone’s domestic set-up. Having young children only exacerbates the situation. With the Easter/end of season backlog to come, now would seem to be the least harmful time to make a change. Congratulations to him and them for a brilliant first half of the season and best wishes to both for the future. MattP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much has been said on here about the difficulties clubs face about getting players on the pitch due to their work and family commitments, but those facing managers are rarely mentioned. This role has become a seven day a week role due to the pressures of running and coaching a team, plus the need for scouting future opponents and looking at players they are interested in bringing. Not to mention any other responsibilities they have around the club (looking for sponsorship, arranging away day transport,ground maintenance for example|). It is certainly not just a Saturday afternoon and midweek job. Anyway, looks like Macca and the chairman have built something good down at Millbrook. Hope they make the right appointment to keep this going, and that the players don't get picked off by other clubs in the interim.

Xanie25 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Statement from Mark the chairman on Millbrooks social media platforms. Macca has done wonders at Millbrook but credit to the core squad who have played for the club and stuck with the club for many seasons. Onwards and upwards Ride On !!!
