Colin Millard, Glenn Goudie and Rob Wytchard Leave Scours Lane

readingevningpost wrote:Colin Millard has sensationally quit as Reading Town manager after one of the club’s most successful ever seasons.

Coaches Glenn Goudie and Rob Wytchard have also left the Scours Lane club, which looked destined for glory this season.

Their team had led the Hellenic League Premier Division for six months, but a loss of form in March and injury and suspension to key players saw them overhauled, and they eventually finished third behind Almondsbury and Shortwood United.

They also reached three cup finals, but were heavily beaten in two of them before lifting the Southern Combination Cup last Thursday.

Millard did extremely well with a small squad and with a limited budget and was keen to strengthen his squad.

But when he asked the club’s committee to ask for more cash there there were no reassurances that more could be found.

Millard said: “We have left because we feel that it would almost impossible to improve on this season without investment into the playing squad.

“Unfortunately, the club is not in a position to provide this.”

Town chairman Roland Ford said he hopes to fill the vacancy very soon.

“We have already had several good quality candidates putting their name forward,” said Ford.
