Looks like we had to pay for his services, as he was on a contract until 2019.
Apparently they came to an agreement.
That's something else DN said wouldn't happen because BUFC couldn't afford it.
Doesn't say financial agreement... we'll probably be playing them next pre-season!
Craig Wood, chairman of Evo-Stik League Premier club Shaw Lane AFC, has announced the departure of manager Craig Elliott.
Wood announced that his manager had decided to make the step up into the Vanarama National League North with Boston United.
Wood said: “Craig has this morning announced that he will be leaving the club with immediate effect to join Boston United as their first-team manager.
“Craig spoke to myself this morning to announce his decision and stated that he had not made the decision lightly, but felt that the opportunity to manage such a big club as Boston United does not come around too often. Craig is expected to take his backroom staff with him, although this has yet to be confirmed.
“Craig was appointed as manager of Shaw Lane AFC by myself in February 2014 and in that time has brought three promotions in four seasons as well as securing the Sheffield Senior Cup last season and took the club to the First Round proper of the Emirates FA Cup this season. Unfortunately, when a manager is as successful as Craig has been, then invariably it will attract attention from other clubs and, although Craig was under contract with Shaw Lane until 2019, an agreement has been reached between both clubs and I would like to thank Craig for the great work he has done in that time at our football club and I wish him well for the future.
