From the Northwich Guardian website:

"STEVE Burr is no longer the manager of Northwich Victoria.
He telephoned the Guardian last night to break the news, so ending three years at the helm of the Conference club.
It wasn't the only bombshell he dropped.
Burr is considering legal action against chairman Mike Connett for constructive dismissal.
"As far as I am concerned my contract has been terminated," he said in a statement.
"And therefore I am no longer employed by the club."
His lawyer advised him to say no more at this stage.
But he did say thanks to the fans.
"I would like to thank football secretary Derek Nuttall, general manager Dave Thomas, Dave Moss and all the backroom staff, all the players and our magnificent supporters.
"I have had three great years on the football side of things, and am very proud of our acheivements over that time."
Burr has met Connett twice this week to make plans for next season but talks broke down after a summit on Wednesday night, the Guardian has learned.
It is thought the pair could not agree on which players would be retained - a decision Burr believes should be his to make. He told the Guardian that it was not too late to part on amicable terms as early as yesterday morning but, when he heard nothing from Connett, he decided to release a statement.
The now former Vics boss is away in Scotland this week with the England National Game side, for whom he is assistant to manager Paul Fairclough."

There is a good debate going on, on the Vics trust website as to what the future holds, so you may have hope for next season after all

Good to see all is well over there as normal 

[SW]

Good luck my fat friend, no one likes to see another club in distress.

[Alty Dave]

There is an angle that this might help us! How?

Unless Connett pulls the plug, or are they in difficulties?

[markecky]

There is talk that Mr Connetts empire is not as healthy as it should be..and he would have no sleepless nights in pulling the lot.

He holds all the cards.

[Red N White Dynamite]

It is truly awful what Connett is doing and I would hate for that to be happening to Alty. I've got to say for the sake of the genuine Northwich fans, even though I hate the green slime, I do not want them to go under because of this idiot. The sooner people like Connett and the Majeed brothers are kicked out of football clubs the better.

To quote Harry Hill: FIIIGGGHHT!

[Jezza]

This one'll be interesting....

Will Steve burr press on with his constructuctive dismissal case?
Will MC sue SB for breach of contract?
Who is bluffing?

[teasybeaver]

Connett is an idiot.

He clearly couldn't care less about the club or fans. He has every right to sack Burr or disagree with him but he'd rather turn it into a massive fiasco just to p1ss Burr off.

Another bad day for the Vics fans, a real shame for Steve Burr as well!

[vicspetition]

Hi guys,

Leaving the long history of sometimes bitter rivals we have to one side, the vics fans have started an online petition to  go along with a fans meeting which hopefully will be held next week. So we do need some help. If you would care to sign the online petition as fans in a game that demands fair play, I thank you in advance.

Regards to all, and the very best of success with promotion next year.

[Jezza]

I have signed your petition!

Please note I kept references to boiling manhoods in snake venom to a minimum.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Today's Non-League Paper suggests that Burr is destined for Stalybridge Celtic.

Will there be an exodus of players from Vics to the Bower Fold?

[Stockportalty]

I have signed the petition, while remembering the support we had this time last year from all over the world and including many Vics fans.
