Wilkins Leaves Albion

Club Press Release

Dean Wilkins is leaving Albion, after deciding not to accept the club's offer of a coaching post under new manager Micky Adams.

Former Albion boss Wilkins was replaced by Adams as manager in May, but offered the chance to remain with the club in the role of first-team coach.

Wilkins, who has been silent since the managerial change, today explained, "I was extremely disappointed by the decision taken by the club, but I took the job with my eyes wide open, and I have been in the game long enough to know that is the nature of football.

"With that in mind, and after a lot of thinking and careful consideration of the club's offer of a role under Micky, I have decided that it is right for all parties for me to move on and will be looking to continue in coaching or management elsewhere.

"It has been a wrench for me to leave a club I have been associated with for 20 years and I would like to thank those players, members of staff and supporters who have supported me during that time.

"I feel I have laid some very good foundations which I genuinely hope will help the club continue the upward rise of the last 12 months."

Albion chairman Dick Knight said, "The board thanks Dean for his sterling service to the club over the years, both as player and on the coaching side. His credentials as a coach are excellent and we wish him all the best for the future."

That comment from the chairman proves what a two faced prick he really is - dean didn't walk - he was pushed like everybody else - the comment was and this is for a fact " it would be in your best interests to leave the club" well all i can say is what comes around goes around and i hope one day dick knight rots

Bit harsh

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

The last month was like waiting for someone on life support to die. When it came it was no surprise at all. Must admit that DK is not the most tactful person is he. Praises him as coach and by omission criticises him as manager.. after getting to the verge of the play-offs.
