Another absolute hero gone :(
Lots of love
@1DaveCon and thanks for everything ๐๐ค
Antony Sweeney and County legend Dave Conlon have joined Clint Hill in leaving Edgeley Park after Dave Challinor's departure last week.
Sweeney joined the club last year after previously working with Challinor at Hartlepool Utd. Hill joined Challinor shortly after his arrival at EP in 2021 and won two league titles with the club. Updates on Jimmy McNulty's coaching staff to come over the summer.
Dave Conlon departs after an official association with County of over 24 years. The club say "by far the biggest thank you goes to Dave, a man who has served the club with humility and distinction in various coaching roles dating back over 24 years and leaves having won three league titles during his time at Edgeley Park."
Conlon: "I'd like to thank Mark and Simon for giving me the opportunity to work full-time for my hometown club. A massive thank you to all the players and staff, both past and present, as well as the incredible fans, for the support you've given me and my family throughout the years."
โIโm gutted to be leaving, but together we've made memories that will last a lifetime."
โI wish everyone connected with the club the very best for the future. Animo Et Fide.โ
Speaking for myself, Dave is a legend in every sense - proper County, a genuinely good person and has always had time to help everyone he comes across, including me when I've nagged at him for interviews over the years.
He also took the team a few times in between managers and handled the time around Jim's departure, dealing with the media etc, with the utmost professionalism and class. Wish him all the best. ๐
