Bamber Bridge boss Jamie Milligan to consider his future over the summer
Bamber Bridge boss Jamie Milligan will consider his position over the summer after presiding over a midtable finish in the NPL Premier Division.
Brig were beaten 2-0 away from home by already-relegated Prescot Cables on the final day of the season to extend their winless run to six games.
Indeed, Milligan's men have won just one of their last 14 fixtures – losing nine of those games.
It’s certainly been a season of ebbs and flows with Brig looking like they would face a relegation battle initially.
However, a fine run of eight wins from 11 games saw them rise to the cusp of the play-off places.
It’s been particularly frustrating for Milligan who has witnessed his team finish 13 points off fifth. He revealed he has spoken to the club’s director of football Neil Crowe about standing aside.
"I have a few conversations with Crowey over this last month or so about instructions I am giving the boys and what I want them to do and they’re not listening.
"I have spoken to Crowey about stepping down – I’ll be honest with you because it hurts me more than anyone when we get beaten and don’t perform, so I am just going to have to see what will happen in the summer.
"Overall, we got ourselves in a good position and then blew it through what reason, I can’t really put my finger on it.”
