A meeting was held earlier today and the Club has made the decision to terminate Gary Bowyer’s contract along with Assistant Manager Billy Barr. The Club would like to thank Gary and Billy for their hard work over the last season, and we wish them all the best for their future roles within football.

The verdict

Given Salford’s history with changing managers then this probably isn’t a surprise, because the owners will have expected a play-off finish at least.

In fairness, that’s to be expected, as they’ve built a very talented squad for League Two level and there should’ve been enough to push for promotion.

Now, it’s about finding a replacement and it’s a crucial decision for the owners as they look to finally win promotion to League One after a frustrating few years.
