Wycherley departs Cork City FC

Cork City’s general manager has left his role, two years after taking up the position.

Paul Wycherley was appointed GM in October 2017, returning to his home county after a number of roles at Elmbridge Borough Council, Millwall FC, Queens Park Rangers FC, and AFC Wimbledon.

Cork City FC chairman Declan Carey said: “During the past couple of seasons, our off-the-field operations, revenue, structures and branding have all improved considerably. These were principally down to Paul’s leadership and all of this will stand to the club. We wish Paul all the best in his next challenge and look forward to welcoming him back to Turner’s Cross as a supporter.”

During Wycherley’s tenure, the club achieved record revenue figures in 2018 and surpassed this record again in 2019.

Wycherley said his two years at Turner’s Cross had been a great challenge and privilege, saying: “All the off the pitch revenue streams have grown. My plan was always to leave the club in a better place than when I came in, and I strongly believe this is the case with revenue streams, staffing structures, the overall brand, marketing, community work and the academy. While I move on to a new challenge, the club is in good hands through the fantastic staff and dedicated board. I believe that Neale Fenn is the right man to restore results on the pitch, which the brilliant Turner’s Cross faithful deserve.”
