Steve Watt says he’s been left with no choice but to resign as manager of Hythe Town. He believes the club’s new board members have effectively forced him out after two weeks of “radio silence” since initial discussions over next season.
Watt asked for a small budget increase to help the Cannons build on their run to the Isthmian South East play-off final, along with a 12-month deal.
He stressed these were requests and not demands. However, bar a cryptic text message, he’s been left in limbo, leading him to the conclusion that he’s not their man.
Watt continues to enjoy an excellent relationship with the existing board but with the balance of power seemingly shifting to the new members, he leaves Reachfields three weeks on from the play-off final.
