FROME, Westmoreland — The exodus of coaches from embattled Red Stripe Premier League club, Savannah SC, has continued with the departure of Delroy Delliser and Audley Thomas, fresh on the heels of former head coach Patrick Graham.

Delliser confirmed with the Jamaica Observer yesterday that he had tendered his resignation since last week, while Thomas told the Observer he was yet to advise the executive of the club of his intentions, but said he had also thrown in the towel.

Graham, who was in charge of the club up to the end of the first round, walked away earlier in November, citing a lack of support.

Delliser said he walked away as the players were not showing the required commitment in games.

“Yes, they are all turning out to training, but when it comes to match time we don’t see them working as hard,” he told the Observer.

Thomas, who was coach when the team won the Western Confederation Super League to qualify for the Premier League play-offs where they placed second to Cavalier and advanced to the Red Stripe Premier League, said he was frustrated at being continually passed over for the job of head coach.

Thomas, who said he had the Jamaica Football Federation’s (JFF) Advanced Level One certificate, which is short of the Level Two that is required, said he had hoped he would have at least been asked to take over in an “interim basis and then be sent to sit the Level Two exam” later on.

Savannah SC have dropped from first place after three rounds to last after 11 rounds, earning just two points in that span, and have not scored in their last four games, conceding 20 goals in the process.

Everton Tomlinson, who coached at three Premier League clubs — Seba United, Galaxy and Reno — took charge on Sunday in their 3-0 loss to Cavalier and yesterday told the Observer that while he can’t make any promises, he was delighted by the turnout at training on Monday.

“We had close to 30 players at training on Monday,” Tomlinson, who is also the president of the Westmoreland Football Association, said.

“We are hoping to bring a more professional approach to the club and get the players to express themselves and their talents.”

Tomlinson also said he had secured the assistance of Marvin Quarrie, who guided Frome Technical to the semi-finals of the ISSA/Gatorade/Digicel daCosta Cup schoolboy competition and was seeking to add to his staff.

“We need people in several areas who can help, including a proper physical trainer,” he said.

Having watched former champions Reno relegated last season, Tomlinson said they could not afford to have Savannah go the same route at the end of the season.
