Big Ron joins Halesowen

Ron AtkinsonRon Atkinson will be unveiled as part of the new management team at Halesowen Town, the non-league football club said today.

The Yeltz broke their silence on the ‘Big Ron’ rumours with director Mark Serrell claiming the former Albion and Villa manager will be unveiled at a press conference before Saturday’s match at home to Brackley.

Mr Serrell said: “Ron Atkinson will be coming to the club. There were meetings last night and it was confirmed this morning. We will be unveiling him at a Press conference on Saturday.”

Mr Serrell’s comments are the latest chapter in a whirlwind week for the Southern League club, who confirmed at the weekend that a takeover is imminent.
