MARCUS Hunt has warned Haverhill Rovers supporters that all is not well at the club after he signed off from his six-week spell as caretaker player/manager with a terrible 6-1 loss at Leiston on Saturday.
The Rovers captain, who has played nearly 400 games for the club, also told some of his players they needed to improve their commitment ahead of next season if they were going to survive in the Premier Division.
He even went as far as saying Rover
s' first team end-of-season had felt more like a relegation than the successful season it really has been.
"I've been saying for a few weeks I can't wait until the end of the season because the last two months have been a struggle," said Hunt. "Hopefully we can get a new manager but it doesn't look too good for the club next season. There's no manager on the horizon, a depleted committee and disgruntled players.
"Hopefully a manager can come in and sort it but I can't see there being too much of a team left next season otherwise.
"It's not anyone's fault. Steve Brown is doing as much as he can but he can't magic a manager out of thin air.
"I would never take the job on full time because I don't feel there is a lot to be positive about at the moment.
"There are some good players at this club that have the commitment, and there are some that don't, and it's the ones that do that will suffer."
Referring to the loss at Leiston, he added: "I must admit I feared it was going to happen. I was let down by a few players and that hurt me as much as anything because of the effort I have put in.
"Then for so-called mates to let me down is disappointing.
"If you look at the results – three trophies for the reserves and the first team has finished tenth – and had said that would be the case at the start of the season you would have said that's a good season, but it's ended on a negative so it's just disappointing and feels like it was a relegation."
