GRAHAM Speechley-Price has stood down as manager of struggling Southern One South & West outfit Bashley.

Former reserve team boss Martin Spiers has taken over on an interim basis.

Speechley-Price will be helping chairman and wife Angela by shifting his focus to commercial matters at Bashley Road.

Spiers initially took up first-team duties after Speechley-Price’s co-manager Andy Darnton quit the Foresters last month.

A statement from the chairman said: “Martin will be able to call on Graham if the need arises, but will take complete control of team matters until a full-time manager is appointed.”
