Interim Whitstable Town boss
Richard Langley admitted the Town players were despondent after the
sacking of Justin Luchford at training on Tuesday.
Luchford’s former No.2 said: "I was
taking training when the chairman came over to talk to Justin. No
one was aware of what was going on. Justin came over at about
8.40pm and told us ‘that’s it, it’s over.’
"He wished us luck and said goodbye
and that was that."
Langley (pictured) revealed: "It’s
difficult. The players were despondent, there was a lot of unrest.
You have to remember that more than 80% of them have been brought
in by Justin in the past year. They were not happy. They are
frustrated."
Langley added: "It’s early days and
it’s not been brilliant but it seems we’ve gone from a promising
season to the brink of disaster in the space of about four
weeks."
Langley and Oystermen player Nicky
Southall will take charge of the team during their three games in
seven days stretch which begins with Saturday's visit of
Chipstead.
Langley added: "The sooner Saturday comes and the players can
come together and channel their disappointment into getting a
result for Justin, the better."
