Overview
- Non-league Ramsgate dismissed manager Lee Martin after stating the playing budget had been significantly underspent.
- The club said he fulfilled his brief to avoid relegation but struggled to recruit in March, leaving the final six weeks under-resourced.
- The slump included six defeats in seven matches following Wednesday's 1-0 extra-time League Cup final loss to Wingate & Finchley.
- Ramsgate sit 10th in the Isthmian Premier and will finish no higher than ninth, with Seb Tidey, Tom Hadler and Mark Buckingham set to lead the last two games.
- The board said it will search for a new manager, and Martin leaves after a second sacking this season despite taking Ramsgate to their first League Cup final since 2008.
