A New Way For Yeovil

Interim manager Darren Way has today been appointed the new permanent manager of Yeovil Town.

Not an entirely unexpected move it must be said but having been in charge since December 1 and winning the press praises of skipper Darren Ward, he has so far overseen one victory and three draws in his six games in charge and his win of course came in the FA Cup putting us through to a third round tie in early January against Carlisle United.

Of course his association with the club stretches back to August 2000 where he made the switch from Norwich City as a player and during his two spells at the club he made over 220 appearance, winning multiple Player of the Year gongs along the way and more than played his part in taking the club from the Conference into the Championship in various roles.

Speaking to the Official Site as news of his appointment was announced, Way said.

‘I am very very honoured and privileged to become the manager of Yeovil Town. I am ready to take this club into battle and secure our Football League status. I feel the players have given everything for me since I have taken charge and the supporters have shown a lot of love and respect towards the players and the football club. I feel I have worked very hard to be given this opportunity. I have shown the same passion and commitment as a manager that I did when I played. As it stands right now, the club needs passion and commitment and I am sure there is enough around the town and community with everyone pulling in the same direction to maintain our league status. I fully respect the fans who have turned up week in week out to show their support and I think they can see the change since I took over. Keep positive and lets keep marching on.’
