darra Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) As per title. Anybody else heard about this? 3 minutes ago By James Gordon Frickley Athletic manager Spencer Fearn has left the club to take up a role at Championship club Sheffield Wednesday. Fearn’s departure was confirmed on social media following their 3-0 defeat to Ramsbottom United in the FA Trophy. A club statement said: “To confirm the earlier post on social media, Spencer has been offered a full time coaching role with a championship club & will leave the club with immediate effect. “It is a mark of his integrity that he appreciates that he cannot serve us & his new club at the same time & commit 100% to both. We all wish him the very, very best of success. “The club have acted immediately to appoint John Stancliffe as interim first team manager & this will ensure continuity of the plans that are in place for the football club, which extends way beyond activity on the pitch. “We ask that everyone gets behind Stan and his team, the players and the management team.” Edited October 28, 2018 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's for a regular coaching position I don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 He ran a company that was contracted in by Govt departments for training programmes and he had stadium sponsorship at one bit with speculation regarding whether he ever actually paid for it from memory.

sonofbert2 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yes he did sponsor the South Stand and actually owned East Stirling where he sold the stadium to developers: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/fearn-looking-for-fans-to-join-sheffield-wednesday-takeover-1-2586374 The good old days....

Bulldog Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I was at Frickley last Tuesday watching Sheffield fc. He certainly shouted a lot so that will please some of our fan base. Sheffield won 3:2 btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 It sounds like his Lifeskills company has done well and I know Wednesday have a tie up already with local colleges so may be a match made in Heaven. It says in the article above or another I read that they (his Lifeskills company) had a centre at the ground previously so maybe there is more than just coaching to his role.
