Owers get sack at the Lawn

The first manager to be sacked this season is Gary Owers of Forest Green.

A statement on the FGR website says:

After a meeting of the Board of Directors, following todays match, a subsequent meeting was held with Gary Owers and Shaun Taylor, where it was mutually agreed to terminate their employment with immediate effect.

Forest Green currently lie bottom but one of the Conference without a point from four games. However pre-season they looked a useful outfit when they defeated Hereford United in a friendly.

Four ex-Hereford players are in the FGR squad.
