BUMPER EDITION WITH ALL THE SUMMER'S NEWS IN THE NCEL…. E NEWS … IN THE NEWS … IN THE N 2 12th May, 2009 Funk Commits to Wrens (Source: Rainworth MW) Rainworth Miners Welfare have quashed rumours of boss Rudy Funk's departure. The Wrens manager has been linked with a number of vacant posts at higher levels after he had led the NCEL club to their second promotion in four years. But, he put an end to all the speculation by signing a new two year deal with a further year's option on Monday night. Talk has been rife that Funk, whose contract expired at the end of the season, would be a target for, among others, UniBond Division One South clubs Glapwell or Shepshed Dynamo, both of whom have just parted company with their managers. Chairman Brian Reece publicly announced at Friday's club presentation night that there was no question of the manager moving on to pastures new, and slammed the speculation that had sparked the rumours. Mr Reece said: "Let's lay this needless idle gossip to rest now and say that neither Rudy Funk nor Billy Millar ﴾assistant manager﴿ will be going anywhere. "When they came to us four years ago the club had gone through a bad time and only avoided relegation from the Central Midlands Supreme Division because other clubs had failed to meet that league's floodlights rule. "They said then that their intention was to lead us to the UniBond League, they are now just one step away from fulfilling that promise, and they will be staying to complete the job." Funk said on Monday: "The future is bright at Rainworth and that's why I think we should stick together and see the job through, so let me emphasise that I had no intention of moving elsewhere. "There will always be speculation linking a manager who has had success to higher placed clubs, and it's flattering to hear your name mentioned in this manner, but why would I want to move when I have everything I want at Rainworth? "I have enjoyed very much both the highs and the lows, the tears and the joys, of the past four years. When I look at the infrastructure of the club, the people I work with – both players and behind the scenes staff – and the ground and facilities we have, there is no reason on earth to want to go elsewhere. "Anyone who knows what football is all about can see how much hard work goes in to making this club successful. I myself am not a quitter and it would be foolish to give what we have achieved at the club to someone else. "The people who run Rainworth have made it a better organised club than many at higher levels, we have a fabulous bunch of players, and who in their right mind would want to walk away from that? "The only incentive would be money, and that is one thing which has never played a major part in my life. Being happy doing what you are doing is much more important to me than money, and if, as I am, you are happy at home, happy at work, and happy at your football club, what more does anyone want above that? "In four years Billy and I have built something very special at Rainworth, and we look forward to continuing to build and progress for many more years to come."

But he is not leaving the club altogether, and will become vice-chairman in a role-reversal, with previous vice-chairman Derek Blow stepping up to the chairman's role. Mr Reece, who has overseen the club's rise from the old Notts Alliance through four divisions to their new level, has cited personal reasons as his motive for taking the step back. "There are other important calls upon my time which will mean I cannot devote as much as a chairman of a club at our new level should," he said. "Without going into detail there are significant health problems within my immediate family, and my work situation has changed recently, so I feel it is better to take one step down and let Derek take over the helm. "Derek has been vice-chairman here now for a two and a half years and I was delighted to have him on board when he first joined. "He has wide experience of chairmanship at nonLeague level, having occupied that role at Teversal and, before that, jointly founding North Notts FC who went on to take the old Sutton Town name. "So, while I will remain as involved as I possibly can, in my eyes Derek is the ideal man to oversee the club's continuing rise through the Pyramid. "I'm proud to have presided over the achievements of the club during my time as chairman – success which would not have been achieved without the great team of people running the club." 6 "He will be a hard act to follow, but remains involved and we will continue to work as a partnership, just as we have done so far. "His personal circumstances mean that he now needs to step back for a while, but on the face of things little will change. The club's ambitions are well documented, we still have UniBond League football in our sights, and I hope I will be able to help to bring about the realisation of that aim."
