FRANK SINCLAIR wants to remain as manager of Hednesford Town even if the club are relegated from the National League North.
The Pitmen are second bottom of the table and six points adrift of safety with just four games remaining, the first of which is against Worcester City on Tuesday night.
Sinclair became Hednesford’s third manager of the season in December, replacing Bernard McNally who had taken over after Rob Smith’s departure to AFC Telford United.
The former Chelsea and Jamaica defender briefly left the club in March following the 3-0 defeat at Stockport County but he returned a day later after talks with chairman Steve Price.
The Pitmen will need at least two victories to give themselves a chance of staying up but even if they do suffer relegation, Sinclair says he’d like to remain at Keys Park.
“I want to stay. The project I talked about with the chairman was beyond this season,” he told BBC Sport.
“We will probably have to win all of our remaining games to stay up but we will keep going while it’s still possible.
“All sorts of things can happen at this level – financial issues, points deductions – so we have to give ourselves every chance.
“The players are still playing for survival but, whatever happens, they are playing for their pride and their futures too.”
