Forest Green Rovers have confirmed the departure of Head Coach Ian Burchnall, with immediate effect. Recruitment for his replacement will begin right away.
Club Chairman, Dale Vince, said: "I’m grateful to Ian for all his hard work this season, it’s definitely not been easy. Our first season in League One was always going to be a challenge in itself but it’s been been made more difficult by a number of factors, with their roots in last summer. I believe in Ian as a coach, but circumstances have led us to this place, we’ve recruited strongly in the January window, player wise - now we need to recruit a new head coach - to give ourselves the best chance or staying in this league."
Ian Burchnall said: "I want to thank Dale for giving me the opportunity to manage in the Football League. The challenge was greater than I could have thought coming in. I have learnt a lot though. For the fans, I am sorry that I couldn’t make it work and that they didn’t see the best of my team. I hope for them the team turns it around. They deserve a team in League One. My extended thanks to the players, staff and everyone at the club for their efforts – I wish you all the best for the future."
Sounds like an amicable mutually agreed parting... I for one wish Ian all the best wherever he goes.

Let's not go for another young inexperienced prospective future talent manager... Let's get somebody with good experience in the EFL, even if only for the remainder of this season. We need a firefighter manager in the short term.  |

Zos I've seen a few FGR fans now suggesting the same as you did the other day... Neil Warnock is retired, but now lives in the South West... If we could maybe approach him with a healthy offer to manage us short term until the end of the season.

Any half way competent man manager should give you a bounce though. Need a good physical type for no nonsense stuff, no fancy pants. |

Forest Green Rangers We're a healthy mix of ex-Celtic and ex-Sevco... Wowsers though, if Big Dunc is appointed, that will be the maddest thing to ever happen at FGR... Could either be a spectacular success or a spectacular disaster. Either way, we will be in for one hell of wacky ride 😅 |

Everton fans are saying if we appoint their hero Big Dunc, we will gain an additional 40,000 supporters from Everton overnight. |

Scott Brown manages League 1 Fleetwood Town now... That's gonna be an interesting fixture with Broony and Big Dunc against each other in the dugouts... Wouldn't fancy being the 4th official. |
