“After the heartbreak of the last two weeks, I questioned everything regarding football. But as I walked around the town and received calls and messages from so many, I realised it wasn’t just me hurting. It was our new and old supporters, my players, my staff, and everyone who considers this club home—where so many have found so much enjoyment over the past three years.Seeing everyone affected, from the juniors to the old codgers, made me realise it is time to regroup—not just as a team, but as a town. With the old board gone, our new chairman, Grant, provides great leadership. He heads a new board with the perfect skillset to enhance this club off the field for years to come, with every member being Portishead through and through.In football, we can’t guarantee success or winning games. However, I can promise you all that we are going to give it everything we have to get back to where we belong.”
Chairman Grant Jefferies had this to say on Kye:
“Keeping our identity as a club was key to our plans moving forward and I’m delighted that Kye has committed to continue to lead the team. His influence on our style of football, the culture he developed within the squad and his connection to our community has been the cornerstone of the success we have enjoyed over recent seasons. I look forward to sharing in our future success, wish him a relaxing off season and look forward to what the 2026/27 season has to offer.”
“Our new Chairman aligns perfectly with our vision for the club, bringing a solid strategy for off-field development. I am delighted that we have secured Mountz for the long-term future of Portishead Town; his dedication to driving high standards is exactly what we need. Together with his management team, I know Mountz will strive for success on the pitch for our players, fans, and the wider Portishead community.”
