Julio Arca & Tommy Miller gone at South Shields Clearly think if they aint got them top they are failing. They aint the big fish in a small pond now, good to see them get a reality check To much to soon. A lot of there fans have got there way just because they've lost a few on the bounce. I think some have forgot where they came from. South Shields were around before that Vase win and takeover.

Totally right and the thing is how many of the current fans were there pre geoff thompson, i reckon most were not. Its remarkable they have got as far as conf north, playing likes of scunthorpe and scarbrough when less thab a decade ago they were playing likes of brandon at peterlee

Darlington have parted company with their manager Darlington have decided to head into 2024 with a new manager at the helm as the club’s struggles continue. Josh Gowling left the National League North club following Boxing Day’s 2-0 loss to Scarborough Athletic. That came after Saturday’s defeat at basement boys Bishop’s Stortford and they club are now eight points from safety with one win in seven. The Quakers sit second bottom of the table and have won just four games all season, fewer than anyone else in the division. Former Hereford manager Gowling took charge in September but has been unable to transform the club’s fortunes since they parted company with Alun Armstrong The Darlo board will know a quick appointment is important with no time to lose in the race to avoid the drop with games coming thick and fast. They face the Seadogs again on Saturday before trips to King’s Lynn and Southport. “Following our 2-0 defeat at Scarborough today, Darlington FC have regrettably parted company with manager Josh Gowling,” the club confirmed in a statement. “We would like to thank Josh for all his efforts since he was appointed in September. We will make an announcement about the ongoing position in due course.” www.thenationalleague.org.uk/gowling-goes-as-darlington-make-change-for-2024-79672

Julio Arca & Tommy Miller gone at South Shields Julio Arca has paid the price for South Shields’ slide as the National League North club called time on the former Sunderland star’s tenure. The Argentinean - successor to former Black Cats team-mate Kevin Phillips - was appointed during the summer and got off to a great start in his first managerial job. But it didn’t last and they’ve gone from challenging at the top of the table to slipping outside the play-off places. Boxing Day’s 3-0 loss at home to Blyth Spartans was their fourth in a row. That result brought an end to his second spell at the club after he ended his playing career with a successful three-year spell with the Mariners. Coach Elliott Dickman will take charge until a replacement is found and could be in the dug-out for Saturday’s return game with Blyth. The club said in a statement this afternoon: “South Shields FC can confirm the decision has been made to part company with first-team manager Julio Arca and his assistant Tommy Miller. “The club expresses its sincere gratitude to Julio and Tommy for their efforts during their time at 1st Cloud Arena and wishes them both well for their future endeavors. “Julio has been one of the main catalysts of the club’s growth over the last eight-and-a-half years and will always be regarded as a club legend. “We regret that his time as first-team manager has come to an end, but this decision has been made as a result of on-pitch performances and results over the last six weeks. “Julio, Tommy and their families will always be welcome at 1st Cloud Arena. Elliott Dickman will lead the first-team on an interim basis following Julio and Tommy’s departures, and he will be supported by Lee Picton.” www.thenationalleague.org.uk/arca-axed-as-now-south-shields-make-managerial-cha-79677

The Club can announce that Graham Fenton has been relieved of his managerial duties and placed on gardening leave. Blyth Spartans would like to express their gratitude for the work in which Graham has done at Croft Park since being appointed as first-team manager in August 2022. He guided the Club to preserve Step 2, National League North, status during the 2022/23 season and has played an instrumental role in the development of the youth set-up via Tyne Metropolitan College too, taking full charge of the under-19s at the beginning of this current campaign. From making 131 appearances and scoring 18 goals, having a brief spell as caretaker manager back in 2004, to being in charge for the past 16 months, his contributions across the whole Club are hugely appreciated. In the interim, Jon Shaw will take full charge of the first-team. Further information and announcements will follow in due course. www.blythspartans.com/club-statement-graham-fenton/

He is rumoured locally to have been talking with South Shields. Not a good idea to have him in charge at Blyth if he's looking to move, but won't sack him in case he doesn't move. The "gardening leave" seems a sensible move.

The "gardening leave" seems a sensible move. Surely keeping him as manager means the club would get compensation if he did go to s shields. All makes no sense

All makes no sense If he’s on gardening leave, he’s still at the club whereas if they sacked him he isn’t. Sounds like they’re hedging their bets

The Club is pleased to announce that Jon Shaw has been appointed as First Team Manager. Jon’s first game in charge will be against one of his previous clubs South Shields at Croft Park tomorrow. Jon has signed a contract with the Club until the end of season 2024/25. Speaking on his appointment, Jon said, ‘It’s a really proud day for me becoming manager of a club with the history of Blyth Spartans. I’m grateful to the club for giving me my first opportunity in management and I can’t wait to get going and I will give everything to put out teams you can be proud of. I also want to wish Graham, who I’ve had 2 great spells as assistant and learnt a lot from all the very best for the future.’ Jon, who will now hang up his playing boots to manage Spartans, calling time on an impressive 2 decades of playing professional football, went on to talk about the importance of Saturday, ‘We have a great game in prospect tomorrow at home vs South Shields, the support was fantastic Tuesday and no doubt helped the players to a great performance and result. With the changes at Shields and the expected reaction, it would be brilliant if we could pack Croft Park and get right behind the lads.’ We congratulate Jon on his appointment and wish him well for the future. Please get behind Jon and players, especially tomorrow in what will be a difficult derby game. www.blythspartans.com/jon-shaw-confirmed-as-permanent-first-team-manager/

Lewis Dickman out of Spennymoor and John Askey out of Hartlepool. Two teams that started the season on fire only to hit absolutely honking form.

Spenny had the same recent form as South Shields, so not surprised at that. Haven't seen Hartlepool's recent form though, but last I saw the club were up for sale, so guessing the only money for anyone coming in, is from selling players.

Steve Watson appointed Darlo manager. Terrible appointment - if it's true that Gray was interested & Boyes might have been then someone has messed up here
