There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the future of the Bury manager Kevin Blackwell. However, he has insisted that he will not leave the club. Bury have been placed under a transfer embargo, which has also put a lot of strain on the financial health of the club. Blackwell has spoken with concern about the financial situation of the club a number of occasions. The 54-year-old has admitted that he has been put on the shortlist of several jobs in the English league, but he is unwilling to leave the club in this juncture.
Blackwell is one of the experienced in the managers in the Championship after having worked with the likes of Leeds United, Sheffield United, and Luton Town. Bury have been placed in a transfer embargo since December after getting a short-term loan in order to cover the cash problem at the club. The loan has been repaid only last week, which will now allow the manager to bring in some players before the end of the transfer window. The club desperately need new players in order to get out of the relegation zone. They are 22nd in the League one table with 26 points on the board. They are just three points away from safety.
“I’ve been shortlisted for jobs but I haven’t gone because I think this club needs a captain at the moment. I won’t walk away unless something else happens that’s out of my control. The people I work for here have been very supportive, the players have been terrific and I’m enjoying the job. Fortunately for us, no transfers could come in or out anyway for most of it. But we identified six or seven players and they’ve already gone,” said Blackwell, whose team have lost the last four matches in all competitions.
