Ian Dring has quit as manager of NCEL Division One basement side Rossington Main.

A club statement to the NCEL Website said: "On Wednesday 19th December 2007, manager Ian Dring offered his resignation which the Committee of Rossington Main accepted.

"His decision comes after a number of players contacted him to say that they couldn't make training that night.

"This was not the first instance of this happening, and, coupled with the results over the last twelve months, Ian felt that it was time to put an end to his tenure as manager of the First team.

"The club have been swift in finding a replacement with the appointment of Ian Wilson, a well known and popular former manager and player of the club who is respected both on and off the pitch in the local community.

"He will be ably assisted by former Retford United defender, Rob Burton, with a view to turning the club's fortunes around.

"It is hoped that the players that have been loyal to the club this season will continue.

"As with any change of manager, the new partnership has already indicated that they have a few players in mind that they would like to bring in.

"All players that are wishing to continue or start with Rossington Main FC are asked to contact the secretary or any other member of the committee."
