The departure of Alan Lewer and Mark Wright may not have come as a shock to some Southport fans after five consecutive losses sent them spinning down the National League North table.
I WAS half joking when I accused Steve Burr of forgetting to actually look at the National League North table before agreeing to take over at doomed Stalybridge Celtic a few months ago.
FORMER Bury, Worcester City, Northwich Victoria and Airbus UK boss Andy Preece has been tasked with guiding Southport away from relegation trouble after being unveiled as their new manager.
SOUTHPORT are searching for their tenth permanent manager since April 2013 after sacking boss Steve Burr “following a disappointing series of results”.
SOUTHPORT operations director Liam Watson has revealed the club have had a bid accepted for a League One player and says the Port will be a ‘proper full-time club’ next season.
STEVE BURR spent his five months out of management recharging his batteries, scouting for Liverpool’s academy, and even celebrating a hole-in-one – now he’s determined to get Southport back on the National League’s fairway.
