After the difficult decision parting ways with Paul Bryon we have acted quickly to bring in his replacement.

We knew that time was not on our side and we needed to sort this situation out quickly.

Therefore, we are pleased to announce Steve O’Boyle as our new First Team Manager.

Steve returns to Phoenix after leaving us 4 seasons ago.

Boylee’s record when he was the manager was fantastic. Two promotions in three seasons is a record that speaks for itself.

Boylee has remained a friend of Phoenix since he left us. When we parted before there was no massive fall out, it was mainly due to the fact we could not keep up with his ambitions at that time. But that is in the past and Boylee would be the first to admit that he regrets his decision to leave.

When we realised that Phoenix needed to make a change, we could have advertised the vacancy and probably, and had many applications. But in my mind there was only one man who truly understands our unique club and can get us out of trouble - and that is Boylee.

I think he has some unfinished business to do at Phoenix and I know that he is very keen to get back to doing what he does best.

I am upset about Paul leaving, but also now excited about the future for Phoenix with Steve O’Boyle as the Manager.

Welcome back Boylee!!!
