Brown steps down as manager of London Rovers
Andrew Sherwood is the Jewish News Sport and Community Editor
Jeremy Brown, manager of last season’s Division Three champions, London Rovers, has stepped down from the post with immediate effect.
Issuing a statement, Brown said: “I am very sad to announce that with immediate effect, I am standing down as manager of London Rovers.”
“My decision is due to personal reasons and that I am at a point in time where my business requires my full time attention and I therefore would have limited time to focus on the team.”
“I am someone who does things with full commitment or not at all. It will be a very long season and in a very difficult division and the team need someone who can take regular training sessions and build a strong, committed and high spirited team. This is something we were able to achieve last season and with the right people in charge this can be achieved again. Unfortunately my limited time available would not be sufficient for this and the team deserve 100% commitment.”
“Last season was the most enjoyable I have experienced in all my time in Jewish football both as a player and manager going back 15 years. We achieved something really special and broke records along the way. It is very important that the team continue to develop and stick together as I am certain there can be more glory days ahead. I would like to thank everyone involved at the club from the start until now and I will be following the teams progress with great interest. COME ON ROVERS!”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
