'Hopefully we can now move forward after several weeks of confusion' - New chairman voted in at Haywards Heath Town

As reported in the Mid Sussex Times, Steve Isherwood was voted in at a full committee meeting on Thursday night while Mick Cottingham stepped down to vice-chairman.

A spokesman for the club said: "At a full Committee Meeting tonight it was voted unanimously that Steve Isherwood would take over the role of Acting Chairman at the Club until the next AGM and Mick Cottingham was voted in unanimously as the Club’s Acting Vice-Chairman again until the next AGM.

"These appointments have been welcomed by the Committee and hopefully we can now move forward after several weeks of confusion."

The spokesman added: "Steve Isherwood was delighted to be voted in as Acting Chairman and over the coming weeks he will be working closely with secretary John Rea to get the blub back on an even keel."

The club has had a summer of change with Lloyd Cotton being appointed joint boss with Shaun Saunders in August. By September, Saunders had stepped down leaving Cotton in charge, before news broke last week Cotton was leaving and Saunders was stepping back into the role.

But the club spokesman clarified what happened with Cotton. He said: "Regarding Lloyd Cotton - he was not “sacked” but he was offered to stay on as Assistant Manager as previously and stay on as a player but he declined and the Club still holds his Isthmian League Registration."
