FORMER Bromsgrove Sporting boss Scott Adey-Linforth slammed club chairman Rod Brown as ‘disrespectful’ following his removal as Rouslers manager.
The club sacked Adey-Linforth with Sporting 17th in the Southern League Premier Central table – two places and seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Adey-Linforth claims club chairman Brown offered him the chance to stay on at the Victoria Ground as assistant coach to newly-appointed boss Tim Flowers.
However, Adey-Linforth felt Brown’s offer lacked respect for the work he has done since taking the manager’s job at Sporting in November 2024.
Adey-Linforth posted on X: “This was my first job in management and my aim was to leave the club in a better place than what I found it in and I’m pleased to say I’ve done just that.
“After conversations with the chairman, he informed me of his decision for me to step aside and work alongside another manager as an assistant coach.
“After the work me and my staff have put in over the last 12 months, I find this disrespectful and undermining of my abilities so have taken the decision to decline this offer and leave the club.
“Our aim as a club was mid-table and be it our league position isn’t great. We are three points off where we need to be.
“I’ve learnt loads in the last 12 months and it has been a pleasure managing this football club.
“I’d like to place on record my thanks to the supporters, staff and players for all their help over the last 12 months.”
The Standard contacted Bromsgrove Sporting for comment and is awaiting a response.
Adey-Linforth’s last game in charge came last weekend as the Rouslers suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Stratford Town.
