[edit] History
In June 2010 Barry Baker was appointed the new first team manager, he appointed ex-player Bob Norris as his assistant and Daryl Chappell as first team coach
In September 2010 Barry Baker resigned due to health problems, with former player Dave Frecklington taking his first managerial post. His reign was ended after a poor run of results left the club firmly in the relegation positions. Club Secretary Dave Wheatley and his assistant Andy Norwood carried out the first team managerial duties til the end of the season to allow the board of directors time to find a replacement for Dave Frecklington. Despite this change, they finished in the relegation places. However, they were reprieved from relegation to the Midland Football Alliance at the end of the 2010–11 season due to Rushden and Diamonds being expelled from the Football Conference.[2]
In May 2011, John Ramshaw was appointed first team manager.
