PAUL Scott has said former caretaker boss Chris Brass will be sadly missed in the dressing room.

Speaking on behalf of the players, the Shakers skipper told the Bury Times that he was saddened by the news that Brass has stepped down from his role as Alan Knill's assistant to concentrate on his work with the centre of excellence and a part-time playing career with Hyde United.

"Brassy was a great influence on me when he was here as a player, as he was for a lot of the lads over the last couple of seasons," he said.

"When he stopped playing he still got through a lot of work behind the scenes and was probably the first person you would go to if you needed anything.

"He did a lot for the club, especially after Chris Casper left, so on behalf of the lads I'd like to thank him."

Knill has contacted two possible candidates to take on the assistant's role, but said an appointment must be made soon.

"I tried the role on my own at Rotherham and it gets very difficult," he said. "You need someone to take the load off you at times, so we'll be looking to bring someone in over the next couple of weeks."
