Darlington chairman Raj Singh has spoken of his delight at the appointment of Simon Davey as our new manager and was also impressed with the quality of candidates who applied for the job. 

“We’re delighted to have agreed a deal with Simon and we’re looking forward to getting him signed up so he can get to work straight away,”

“This signals the end of a hectic fortnight for us and we’re naturally very pleased to now have who we think is the right man for the job.  Simon has had a thorough grounding in coaching with Preston and Barnsley, followed by a very encouraging three years in charge of Barnsley, and he’s extremely hungry to succeed as a manager.

“He’s bought into what we’re trying to achieve here and he’s excited by the opportunity.

“A lot of people seem to have been surprised by the calibre of the names which were being linked with the vacant job. That tells me that we’re running this club properly, people in football are taking us seriously and that’s credit to everyone involved in the club.

“Speaking to all the candidates, it was also encouraging to hear them all tell me that the budget we have put together for next season is good enough and big enough to enable us to challenge for promotion.

As I’ve said before, the budget we set for the current season isn’t the worst in League Two by a long way.”

Simon Davey has today carried out various interviews and The Northern Echo has posted theirs online.
