Newport County Issue Statement Amidst Peterborough United Controversy

Club’s Concerns Over Lack of Communication and Transparency

Newport County has expressed concerns over the lack of communication and transparency surrounding Peterborough United’s recent appointment of Grant McCann as manager.

Peterborough dismissed McCann in February after just five months in charge, with the club citing a difference in footballing philosophies.

Newport's Frustration

Newport chairman Gavin Foxall said the club was “frustrated” by the lack of contact from Peterborough since McCann’s departure.

“We have not received any communication from Peterborough United regarding the situation,” Foxall said.

Communication Key

Foxall stressed the importance of communication in such situations, particularly when a manager leaves a club.

“It is customary for clubs to communicate with each other when a manager leaves, especially when there is a contractual agreement in place,” he added.

Seeking Clarification

Newport is seeking clarification from Peterborough on the circumstances surrounding McCann’s departure and the process that led to his appointment at Newport.

The club is also seeking assurances that similar situations will be handled more professionally in the future.

Statement Conclusion

Newport’s statement concluded by expressing hope that the issue could be resolved amicably.

“We hope that Peterborough United will provide us with the necessary information and assurances so that we can move forward,” Foxall said.
