This is a shocking statement from the club. Doesn’t acknowledge that Harry is still the chairman, and has the final decision on everything at the club he’s built for 60 years.

After 60 years in charge, Ramsbottom United Chairman Harry Williams has decided the time is right to stand back.
Having been instrumental in setting up the club back in 1966, and after what is probably a record-breaking spell as a football club chairman, Harry suggested that the time is right for a new committee to be formed to take the club forward.
Former secretary Tony Cunningham explained, “Harry told me he was thinking of stepping back, and after 60 years at the helm, he has certainly earned a break”.
“He then suggested we run the club with a new committee, and offered me the position of Vice-Chairman, with the aim of creating that committee. This has now been done, and we are all excited at the prospect of being able to guide the club over the coming years.
“As for Harry, he will hopefully still attend matches, but now with the ability to enjoy the games without all the other duties which have restricted his viewing time for so long.
“He has deserved to be able to sit in the sponsors lounge, enjoying a couple of ciggies and a couple of beers!”
The new committee’s first move was to appoint popular coach Rob Henry as the new club manager following the retirement of former boss Steve Wilkes.
Exciting times await for the Rams who have missed out on promotion over the last two seasons, bowing out on both occasions at the play-off stage.
Hopes are high among the committee and supporters that Rob and the players will complete the job during the upcoming season.

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.”
Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.
Ayden Heaven, the only fit centre half tomorrow. Will do the business and if the manager has got a set of bollocks, he won’t be out of the team until the end of the season.
