» Dulwich Hamlet to undergo ‘largest overhaul’ of football structure – with boss Brad Quinton leaving after securing safety – South London News


Dulwich Hamlet chairman Ben Clasper says the club is set to undergo the ‘largest overhaul’ of its football operations in recent history.

The South London club have also confirmed that Bradley Quinton will not be staying on past this season after joining in January and guiding the Champion Hill-based side to Isthmian League Premier Division safety. 

Dulwich have spent the past two seasons outside of the National League South and have one of the largest attendances in non-league football.

On a statement on the club website, Clasper said: “I can confirm that we have informed Brad Quinton that we will be going in a different direction with the management of the men’s team as part of a much larger reset of our football operations and that sadly we will not be appointing him and his team on a permanent basis. 

“We would like to thank the management team for their efforts in securing our safety at Step 3 and for staying focused on the short-term goal of survival after our unexpected drop into the relegation battle back in January. 

“Our position in the Isthmian Premier League was retained with two games to spare and I hope the victory against Canvey Island and the spectacular final day goals will ensure Brad is remembered fondly and positively by fans. It was mission accomplished ,but the new mission ahead of us is one that the club will need to lead on as we seek to avoid a repeat of our recent failures. 

“This, coupled with the news last week that Ryan Dempsey will be stepping down from his own role as the women’s first team manager, means we are embarking on the largest overhaul of the football side in our recent history but I am confident the research and preparatory work of the board and staff will act as a better foundation for our decisions than we have had in the past.”
