Everyone hurt by Woodman exit - acting Bromley boss

Acting boss Byron Webster says Woodman's dismissal hurt the club, but backs owner Robin Stanton-Gleaves to find the right successor; Ashley Cole among candidates linked.

Bromley manager Andy Woodman was dismissed last week after three years in charge, during which he guided the club from the National League to League One. The Ravens are struggling in the third tier, currently in 22nd place with just two points above the relegation zone after a 1-1 draw with Peterborough and a 4-1 loss at MK Dons.

Assistant Byron Webster, now acting head coach, acknowledged the departure hurt everyone at the club but expressed confidence in owner Robin Stanton-Gleaves's ability to make the right managerial choice. Stanton-Gleaves is leading the search for Woodman's replacement, with former Arsenal, Chelsea and England defender Ashley Cole among those linked with the vacancy.
