GLOVERS NEWS: Mission Survival at Yeovil Town

YEOVIL Town’s acting manager Terry Skiverton has described the challenge which faces him and the team to avoid relegation from the Sky Bet League One this season as Mission Survival.

Skiverton is back in the manager’s hot seat following the sacking of previous gaffer Gary Johnson yesterday (Wednesday, February 4, 2015).

And Skiverton is ready for the battle.

“This is not about Gary Johnson, Terry Skiverton or bringing in any fancy flash name,” he said during today’s press conference at Huish Park.

“This is now Mission Survival. We need our office staff, the kitman, the media man, the food staff, everyone, and most important of all we need the supporters all working in the same direction.”

He said he wanted to change the atmosphere at Huish Park on matchdays which had become far too “quiet” and he had become fed-up of listening to chants of “Johnson out.”

Skiverton said he had felt the “discontented rumblings” among the supporters at matches.

And he said: “That has got to stop NOW and the bigger picture is Mission Survival.”

Skiverton, who said he had been surprised and disappointed by yesterday’s news, thanked Gary Johnson for everything he had done for the club and him professionally as a player and while as his assistant.

But he added: “The King is dead, long live the King.”

The Glovers are currently bottom of the League One table.
