Stevenage
have confirmed they are in talks with former Man United, Tottenham and England
striker Teddy Sheringham about the manager's position.
The
ex-Three Lions star is currently working for West Ham as attacking coach.
Graham
Westley, whose contract expires on May 31, has hinted he may leave Broadhall
Way after the club failed to get promotion through the League Two play-offs.
And
chairman Phil Wallace has announced the club are in talks with Sheringham.
"Graham
Westley’s agreement ends on 31 May and his team couldn’t have done more from a
results viewpoint this season, but Graham’s been Stevenage manager for 8 of the
past 12 years and that’s a long time at this level of football," he said. "Our board doesn’t
dishonor contracts at a whim, so even when things weren’t going well in 2014,
we kept the faith and our faith was rewarded by results in 2015.
"Graham
may now have some football offers coming in that we wouldn’t be able to match
and I know he has some opportunities outside of football to consider. Despite
the utmost respect and appreciation I have for everything he’s done for
Stevenage FC, sometimes you have to accept that a business needs to change to
refresh itself and evolve. Sometimes that means management, sometimes it means
owners and sometimes it means both. Change inevitably brings risk and that
can’t be avoided, but at some stage change in a football club has to occur if
it’s been shown that attendances do not provide sufficient funds for a
successful team."
