The search now begins for a new manager, with chairman Bob
Paton set to take over first team affairs in the meantime, with a vital
relegation scrap with Bishops Stortford at the Red Lion Foods Stadium tomorrow
(February 9).
Mr Paton said in an official statement: “I’ve had a few meetings
with Lee in the last couple of days over the current situation. In the end, we
agreed it was in the best interests of Colwyn Bay Football Club that he steps
down as manager.”
A club spokesman said that enquiries had already been made
regarding the newly vacant post, and the club now needed to start searching
through them for suitable candidates.
Williams (44) only replaced sacked player-manager Jon Newby
at the beginning of January, and the former Seagulls goalkeeper will undoubtedly
be disappointed he wasn’t given more time to stop the Colwyn Bay rot in the
league.
They lost four league games with Williams in charge, scoring
once and conceding 10 goals in the process. His final game was a 6-1 home
defeat in a mid-week friendly against Welsh Premier League side Prestatyn Town.
With 17 fixtures remaining this season, they sit third from
bottom in the relegation zone. They are six points off Histon above them, and
safety, but have three games in hand.
Bishop’s Stortford are also six points clear of them in the table, so a win would be much-welcomed by the Conwy-based club.
