KEN McKENNA & STUART BIMSON LEAVE

Altrincham FC manager Ken McKenna, (left), has decided to leave Moss Lane. Ken took over the reins in September 2010, with the club at the bottom of the BSBP but despite his best efforts and those of his assistant, Stuart Bimson, (right), the club was relegated to the BSB North for 2011-12.

Stuart, who has been commuting to Altrincham from south of Cambridge, is also leaving.

Altrincham FC would like to thank both men for their efforts and commitment during the season. Ken, of course, had been a celebrated player at the Club and had rejoined as assistant manager in 2009-10...


I would like to thank you for your efforts, and wish you all the best.

Sad Sad News .........................................Stabby Backillroy anyone

[im not really here]

Good luck for the future to both. I am glad it has now been sorted out and the club can now move forward. I hope the club now goes through a proper recruitment process rather than making a snap decision as it is so important we get the right man to help us return asap.

Thanks ken for having a great go at and not being afraid to attack Ie 2nd half Darlington away!

By my maths it's 96 days till the new season - so whoever comes in hopefully has about 2/2 1/2 month to get ready for the fight back

[Mrs Warbouys]

They can both leave with their heads held high.Ken will always be an alty legend,and all be welcomed with open arms by all supporters.I hope the job is advertised nationally and the widest choice of candidates are interviewed.And hopefully someone without past links to the club gets the job.

Even though Ken staying would have been my first choice, a fresh pair of eyes may be just what we need.
Thanks for all your efforts last year Ken, you nearly kept us up.

Thanks to Ken and Bimmo for all their efforts. Very sad news.

This would also indicate to me that certain players that Kenny wanted to keep hold of do not intend to stay (which ones they are I'm not sure).

My thoughts exactly.

Nonetheless, thanks to Ken and Bimmo for all they did.

Not sure why that is what it suggests, unless you have inside info 1981? Good luck to Ken and Bimmo

[Timperley The Best]

Good luck to both disappointed though

Obviously certain players KMc wanted to keep will be leaving, otherwise perhaps he would have stayed.

So in my book, we are going to be building a new team and starting from scratch.

As for KMc he obviously doesnt have it him to rebuild or a team or take a team forward in his own name, or Alty could not offer him the money he wanted - it has to be one of those reasons I would have thought.

Going to be a long haul back, however there are other good managers around, the question is who would want to take on a BSN team that needs rebuilding - it will need a strong candidate.

I guess it will need to be sorted fast to ensure they have time to build their own team.

Thanks though Kmc and Bimmo for giving it a good go.

[fuertes]

Many thanks to both for giving it your best. Best wishes for the future.

[ArmchairAlty]

Best of luck both and thank you.

It was my understanding that Kenny wanted to use some of the time he had last week to speak to the players and see who wanted to stay on reduced wages.

I suspect he didn't get the response that he wanted from some/all of the players he felt we needed to mount a challenge.
