Flanagan, Leveson and Hudson Depart Hartsdown Park


May 8, 2026 by Margate FC
Margate Football Club can confirm that following on from yesterday’s announcement, Ben Greenhalgh’s backroom team at Hartsdown Park ...

I don't know Ben but thought his interview was pretty good and he said some good things, to me it hinted at trying to bring back the old days of playing for the club/badge as we're a "special club". But it's only special us, not anybody else. So in that respect we're no different to any other club ...

I'd be on the phone to him NOW........

Although I’ve already said I’m not happy with this appointment I may be being a bit harsh and unfair to Ben but I was hoping for a higher level of quality manager.

We have to give Ben a fair chance to see how he gets on, what players he retains & new players he signs and then see how things go ...

Lets hope so, it would be the first time in just over four years.....

Ironically I dont recall the two previous appointments getting stick on here....

I didn't want to believe the rumours circulating but they were obviously true..........

I dont think i've ever felt so dejected, deflated and completely disillusioned going into a new season.

Was this the best applicant we had?
Who were the other applicants?

A short managerial record and not that ...

I have absolutely no idea who it will be (theres been no rumours either) but the wheels have been in motion for some time so i'm sure we'll all find out pretty soon.

As we are throwing hats into the ring, why not Tommy Warrilow? I'm sure he had some experience in a higher standard, having been sacked from my local club Faversham.


I think you've answered your own question mate if he was sacked by Faversham.....

Anyway I think you'll find it's too late now ...

I'd be amazed if the board hadn't spoke to all the players immediately after ADYos left (rumours confirm they did).

Agree we will need to appoint someone soon and i'd be very surprised if we didn't hear something this week.

Some of the rumours and suggestions being mentioned are nuts imo.
With all due respect, just check the managerial record of some of them

I'd rather have a ar****le whose good at his job than a "nice guy" who makes excuses.

As for an ex player, i'd be very wary as this smacks of jobs for the boys for me.

Now the dust has settled on another season for the men’s team, it’s time to reflect.

Last year, the team were a game away from winning the league and then still so close to going up through the play-offs, losing to Dover in the final ...

Really disappointing we've had no announcement, statement or info of any sort from the club, we've not even advertised the post?

I hope we don't go down the "he's a nice bloke" route or any old player will do....
Also hope whoever does the interviews knows what their talking about and sells the ...

They are called the culpable three. Glad all three are gone. Hopefully they take at least two of their favourites with them

I would imagine that the manager shortlist is.

1) Steve McKimm
2) Gavin Rose
3) Haken
4) Angelo Harrop
5) Rod Stringer
6) Tom Bonner

We don't just need a new manager, we need someone at the top who can control the club on a day to day basis. Can't we just tap up Sophie Purves, I know M1 ...
