Neilston managers Chris Cameron and Derek Carson open up on reasoning behind calling time on tenure

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Chris Cameron insists he and co-boss Derek Carson have stepped away from Neilston to give their club the best possible chance of reigniting their promotion hopes.

The Farmer’s Boys stuttered to a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Rossvale on Saturday at Petershill Park, leaving them with just one win in their last five First Division matches.The Brig O’Lea side are still just three points off a promotion spot, albeit some of their rivals challenging to make it into the top flight have several games in hand.And Cameron is adamant the decision for him and Carson to step aside after more than four years in charge was made with Neilston’s best interests at heart.Cameron told Renfrewshire Live Sport: “It was definitely the right decision at the right time for us to go.

Our target for the season was to have a right good go at promotion and we’re falling short of that at the moment.“I still believe this is the right group of lads who can still achieve that, but the club just needs some fresh impetus and a new voice.“For six to eight weeks it’s just felt like something’s been missing.

Me and Derek are Neilston guys through and through and we have never been in this to boost our own profiles. We were in it for the club.“We just feel that we’ve taken this group as far as we possibly could.“When we joined in 2018 we wanted to kick the team on and we feel we’ve done that.
