12/02/10 Stones Appoint Caretaker Boss - Peter Nott

Maidstone United have moved swiftly to appoint reserve team manager Peter Nott as caretaker boss until the end of the season, following Alan Walker and Lloyd Hume’s sudden exit.

Tony Cornwell has been appointed as assistant manager. Both positions will be reviewed in April with a view to offering a further two-year agreement.

Club captain Jay Saunders has been offered the role of player-coach and has promised to give the new management a decision in a couple of days.

Nott and Cornwell , who step up from leading Stones’ very successful reserve development squad for the past eight years, said in a joint-statement: “There was certainly a little bit of a tingle in both our stomachs when the chairman offered us the post, as it is something we had always hoped we would be offered one day.”

Chairman Paul Bowden-Brown added: “We are all grown men, but I have to admit that the past 48 hours have been very traumatic for me, having to say goodbye to Alan and Lloyd and then ask two loyal servants of the club to steady this ship, drive it forward and make sure we are playing Ryman Premier Division football again next season.”
