CLUB STATEMENT: DANNY WHITAKER

Following a disappointing set of results that have seen The Silkmen defeated in three of the last five home games, Manager Danny Whitaker has been relieved of his First Team duties.

This is a statement that nobody ever wanted to write, yet our current run of form – which has included elimination from the Emirates FA Cup, Isuzu FA Trophy, and two home league defeats from three games has proved to be unacceptable.

The squad we have assembled should unquestionably be performing better than they currently are – particularly at the Leasing.com Stadium where recent showings have been nowhere near the standard we expect.

We believe that it is the right time to make a change and that this is in the best interests of the Football Club – despite how painful it is.

Danny will forever remain a Club Legend and will continue to play a critical part within our Academy structure going forward.
