Table of Contents

Bury Football Club can confirm that Michael Jolley has today been relieved of his duties as First Team Manager by mutual consent.

The Board recognises the strength of feeling expressed in recent days by supporters, staff, partners and players, and the very real impact the Board’s decision to appoint Michael has had on individuals connected to the Club.

Assistant manager Tim Lees will continue to manage the team on an interim basis while the Board undertakes a wider review of club operations. 

We will also be engaging directly with players, staff and stakeholders to listen, learn and ensure that appropriate support is available.

Our immediate priority is the welfare of our people and the stability of the Club and our community. 

We believe this step is necessary to help restore confidence, create space for reflection, and allow Bury FC to move forward in a way that reflects our values and responsibilities.

Bury Football Club remains committed to acting with integrity, transparency and respect. Further updates will be shared when appropriate.

Michael Jolley said: “I do not wish my presence to deter the board from its mission of returning the club to its rightful place in the EFL.  

“I would like to wish the board, the players, and the supporters, the very best for the future, and hope the club can continue its journey back to where it belongs.”  

Ends
