Kevin Glendon-official statement

[TGOTT]

It is with regret to announce that Kevin Glendon has resigned from Radcliffe Borough Football Club with immediate effect as of the Clitheroe game on the 25th September.

Bernard Manning Jnr made the following statement of Stalwart Kevin Glendon's departure after Todays 1-0 victory over Bamber Bridge

"I wish to thank Kevin for all his hard work and efforts that he has put into the club over the last 2 decades. He was a part of the life and soul of the club in which he has ran next to single handedly during his time here and we wish to thank him for all the good times we have had with him, and I am sure that the fans do feel the same way about his time here at the club. Myself along with everyone with any relation to the club would wish him all the best and the best of luck for any future management roles or projects that he moves onto."

This resignation ends Kevin's 21 year relationship with the club, the 2nd longest of any current management reign in English Football, only that of Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United beating Kevin.

During his time, He has led the club to the 1st Round of the FA Cup for the 1st time in 2000 then the 4th Qualifying round in 2002 and 2005, as well as the last 16 of the FA Trophy in 1996, winning the Unibond 1st Division (Step 3 era) in 1997 along with also 2 seasons in the then Step 2 Unibond Premier., Victory in the Manchester FA Premier Cup, and the Final of the Unibond Presidents cup and Lancashire FA Challenge. He also helped Jody Banim and Craig Dawson into Football League careers (the latter of which plays for a Premier League club) as well as bringing club icons Simon Kelly, Martyn Forrest, Ian Lunt, Levi Edwards, Steve Howson and Mark Dempsey to the club

Gerry Luczka has took over as Caretaker manager for the time being with a view to becoming Full Time Manager

A Supporters Meeting has been called for This Thursday to discuss how we can move forward.

May I be the first on this forum to wish Kevin all the very best with his future football aspirations. His commitment to the promotion and well being of the football club, both on and off the field, for the last 20 years has been absolute.
There can be no doubt whatsoever that the club would not be performing at the level we are, attracting the players we have over the last decade or so, with the facilities we enjoy, were it not for Kevin's input.
On leaving Radcliffe Borough, he should be extremely proud of everything that he has achieved and someone that we, as supporters, should be eternally grateful to.

All the very best Kevin Glendon.

Here, hear, I'll second that Dave.
You took the words right from my mouth.

Good luck to Kevin in whatever he chooses to do.

Best wishes for the future, Kevin, and thanks for all that you did for Johno Junior.....particularly in the late nineties. I will always have fond memories of games such as Bognor Regis away, winning the League at home (was that against Matlock?) the FA Cup runs.....all down to you, young man. As I said, I can't make Thursday....but anything I can do to help....
