EASTWOOD TOWN: BROUGH TO STEP DOWN

Jamie Brough has taken the decision to step down from his role as manager and owner at Blue Square North side Eastwood Town.

The news follows reports that a consortium are waiting in the wings to purchase the club and install a new manager.

Speaking to the Eastwood and Kimberley Advertiser Brough said, "I'm stepping down from my position in light of the fact new owners are set to be in place by the weekend, though even should that deal collapse I will still be leaving."

"I've met with various potential owners and supporters over the last week, and a deal has been put forward with a consortium who have finances available and are committed to taking Eastwood Town forward and making it very much a community club, which is what a number of fans wanted."

Brough took ownership of the club in June of this year whilst working as a coach at Hucknall Town, after taking charge he employed Craig Armstrong as joint manager alongside himself.
