Shoreham Football Club chairman Stuart Slaney is keeping the faith with boss Sammy Donnelly.

Mussels have found their first ever season at Bostik League South standard a tough task and they find themselves 13 points adrift at the foot of the table with 13 matches left.

Despite what has proved to be a difficult campaign, Slaney is backing Donnelly to bring the good times back to Middle Road.

Slaney and co-chairman Ralph Prodger have been so impressed by Donnelly’s conduct this season that they have offered him the job next season whether Mussels remain in the Bostik League or not.

“Many managers would have walked away a long time ago but Sammy has been superb,” Slaney said.

“I don’t think anyone involved with the club expected the step up to be as big as what it's been, we’ve learnt a great deal.

“I think offering Sammy the job next year as well, which he’s accepted, will add some much needed stability.
