Mathias Appointed County Boss

Ray Mathias has taken the Hatters manager job until the end of the season, to be assisted by ex-caretaker boss Peter Ward.

Alan Lord will also assist Mathias, who joined County last month as technical advisor to then-manager Ward.

The club made an official statement a short while ago.

The Board of Stockport County Football Club would like to acknowledge the uncertainty arising around recent First team management affairs.

We can now confirm that Ray Mathias will take charge of First team affairs until the end of the season assisted by Peter Ward and Alan Lord and we can assure all supporters that every effort is being made to ensure stability and cohesion going forward.

We understand the frustration of our fantastic supporters in these times, but please be assured that the Football Club Board of Stockport County are working tirelessly to ensure the future of our Football Club, alongside other shareholders.

Your patience, continued support and understanding is greatly appreciated.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
