Yorath takes temporary control of Margate

MARGATE have parted company with both its manager, Barry Ashby and player coach, Paul Smith, with immediate effect.

The Blues go into tomorrow night’s home derby against Maidstone United sitting fifth from bottom in the Ryman Premier League table, with three wins and three draws from 13 games.

A statement issued this morning by the Hartsdown Park club, on www.margate-fc.com, said: “The decision was reached over the weekend after discussions regarding changes the directors required to be made to personnel, which Barry Ashby refused to implement.

“Whilst the club seeks to appoint a new manager, director of football, Terry Yorath will assume full control of first team affairs.”
