@joeberks_ @MossleyAFC God luck with your next move Joe Showed real character and always did the job no matter what I asked of you

Thank you to everyone at @MossleyAFC for the last couple of seasons. Great club, great people, made some friends for life.🤍

@obzhas @MossleyAFC All the best with your next move Keep that smile and energy

To @MossleyAFC Leaving Mossley is harder than I thought. These two years have meant so much to me, and this club has truly felt like home. I’m grateful for every moment, every person, and every bit of support. Mossley will always stay with me.

@GBaltazar99 @MossleyAFC All the best Gee, good luck You were (mostly) a pleasure to manage

My time at @MossleyAFC has come to an end. To my teammates, fans, staff, volunteers and everyone connected with the club, THANK YOU! There’s not enough words to express my appreciation to you all. God bless you, Lilywhites. Gee over n out. 🤍

@stevewilkes1 Enjoy your retirement. If ever a man earned it it's you

So, after 29 years in football management, 1,330 matches, and countless hours of recruitment calls, scouting missions and preparation, I’ve decided that now is the right time to step back from the game and announce my retirement. Football has given me so much — moments, friendships, challenges and memories that will stay with me for life. Football is, and always will be, in my DNA. I would like to thank the six clubs I’ve had the privilege to manage — Darwen, Padiham, Runcorn Linnets, Ashton Athletic, Northwich Victoria, and finallyRamsbottom United — for placing their trust in me to lead their football clubs. To each and every player I’ve worked with, thank you. The relationship between a player and a manager is a special one, and the dressing room is our place. I hope that over the past 29 years my team talks have helped you develop as players — and maybe made you smile along the way. To all the coaches who have put up with me over the years, I simply couldn’t have done this without you. However, the time feels right to shift priorities and spend more quality time with my family — especially my grandchildren, Freddie, William and Emmie. To the fans of every club I’ve managed — thank you most of all. Your relentless support, home and away, through every high and every difficult moment, has never gone unnoticed. You are what makes a football club special, and I will always be grateful for the backing you’ve given me and every team I’ve led. To all the managers out there, I take my hat off to you. The job gets harder every year. I was once told: never get too high after a win and never too low after a defeat. That advice is so true — although much harder to follow after a defeat. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Ramsbottom United.  First and foremost, my thanks go to my management team — especially Rob. Your loyalty, support and tireless work over this past year have meant everything to me. Your sessions are second to none, and I have no doubt that you have a great future ahead of you as a manager. My thanks also go to Lewis Hindley, who is far more than just a goalkeeper coach, and to Tony Dunn, one of the best physios I’ve worked with. I’m hugely grateful for the backing of Phil Rose and Tony Cunningham, and for the ongoing support of the committee, including Harry, whose trust and belief were so important from day one. Phil brought me to the club with a three‑year plan — unfortunately, we didn’t quite see it through. Leading Ramsbottom United has been an honour. Special people really do achieve great things, and the commitment, honesty and togetherness shown every day created memories I will carry with me forever. It has been a genuine privilege to lead this group. I leave Ramsbottom United with nothing but fond memories and huge respect. I wish the club every success for the future — it’s a special place with real heart, and I’m proud to have been part of its journey. Finally, I want to thank my family — my children Louis,Zack and Olivia, and my wife Ali. Without your backing, love and support through both good times and bad, none of the last 29 years would have been possible. You are the people who pick me up on a Saturday night, and I love you all so much. Thank you all. — Steve Wilkes

@trickyvegas @simmo_on_sport I had him watched several times when he was at Bacup and had agreed a deal with him to join the summer he left them, only to see a tweet of him signing for Chadderton whilst I was on holiday

@simmo_on_sport @davidfish01 I reckon there's going to be a few clubs looking at Lewis-Simon Byrne if Chadderton don't go up this year.

Fawns + Marsden already for next term...💪🏻

@trickyvegas @simmo_on_sport Everybody wants one of them Hard to come by, worth their weight in gold

@simmo_on_sport If they can add a 15+ goal scorer, they would be playoff contenders.

@976352c884c94dc Great news, credit to you, Steve and everyone at the club for the journey you're on

What a journey this has been....from bottom of the Manchester Lge 1st division in 2020 to promotion to the NWCFL for season 2026-27,a massive thankyou to all players & coaches who have been part of this amazing journey ⚽️⚽️🍻🍻

@MossleyAFC @alexcraddock08 Well deserved

Cast your vote! Huge congratulations to @alexcraddock08 for getting on the shortlist! 👏👏👏 ⚪️⚫️

@simmo_on_sport @buryfcofficial @RuncornLinnets Can't look past Bury Good recruitment and momentum going into the last month The fight for the play offs is the interest now

A stride towards the title for @buryfcofficial as they dish out a shellacking of @RuncornLinnets. Goals for Jordan Lazenbury, Mo Touray, and Bebeto Gomes ended the contest inside 25 minutes. Debutant Louis White outstanding for the Shakers. Their hosts? Simply abject.

It begins

@MossleyAFC Some things never change

60 mins: Fawns chopped down in the box. No foul ⚪️⚫️ 0-1 🔵⚪️

@MossleyAFC Surely not!

WAIT? WHAT?

Up the 1-6-3-1 mighty Manchester reds What a horrible way to win 3 points

Impressed by the quality of trains in Italy TrenItalia could do with bringing some of their service, comfort and speed to the West Coast Mainline

@Grantshenton4 You need a black top against a black background #invisible

Thought black is supposed to be slimming 🥴 🌳Point AVRO

@barlickfc He's done the hard yards to earn this chance Great bloke and hopefully he'll make a huge success of it

⚽️ Club Announcement ⚽️ Barnoldswick Town FC are delighted to announce the appointment of James Stokes as the new First Team Manager & Ollie Wright as his Assistant. We are pleased to welcome James and Ollie to the club and wish them every success in their journey with us.

@johnaokane Seemingly buying a keeper with hands is old fashioned

Bayindir man every corner he just falls over Fk me use your hands!!

@clegg_mc I don't miss them Ruined many a Saturday

@adamyounggolf A3

Do you want to hit straighter golf shots? Knowing whether to fix path or face can be difficult - especially without a launch monitor. However, I've developed a super simple flow-diagram that helps you determine the best course of action. It will help you get to a more neutral path and face combination WITHOUT the need for an expensive launch monitor. Just using an iron and ball flight alone. 🔥Reply with "A3" and I'll send you the 1 min video explainer.

@simmo_on_sport @AvroFC @OfficialKAFC @CongletonFC @StalyCelticFC @buryfcofficial Loving them along with not having the 24/7 of worrying about players, budgets, boards etc For the first week after stepping down I thought my phone was broken, now I'm enjoying the peace

@davidfish01 @AvroFC @OfficialKAFC @CongletonFC @StalyCelticFC @buryfcofficial Yes, that's a good shout. How are you enjoying free Saturdays, btw?!

Seriously impressive wins on the road for both @AvroFC and @OfficialKAFC against testing opponents. @CongletonFC also navigate a difficult obstacle, while @StalyCelticFC and @buryfcofficial will have a second installment in midweek after a draw. Anything else stand out?
