Andy Kilner is a former manager of Stockport County FC. Stockport County Football Club are an English football club based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, currently playing in League Two, after dramatically avoiding relegation to the Conference in the 2005-06 season. ...
AndyKilner was sacked by Stockport County yesterday, the 20th manager to part company with his club this season and the victim of the most abrupt change of heart by a chairman.
Yesterday, though, Kilner was not present at training and the players were told afterwards by the chief scout Fred Eyre that he had left the club and was too upset to speak to them.
Kilner, 35, a former Stockport player with a reputation for straight talking, succeeded Gary Megson in June 1999 but County won only 29 of 125 matches under his management, and with a record of six home defeats in seven games he has been fiercely criticised this season.
Stockport player-boss Carlton Palmer has moved to diffuse the tension between himself and the previous incumbent at Edgeley Park, AndyKilner.
But Palmer has distanced himself from the situation and is focusing solely on resurrecting the fortunes of the Hatters who slipped to a club record 10th consecutive loss when beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace on Sunday.
AndyKilner was the manager of this football club, he's no longer the manager of this club and I've got no axe to grind with him.
