The news came as a bitter disappointment to Miners fans, already reeling from the news that the 2019/20 Western League season has been voided by the Football Association. Before the Coronavirus caused football to be suspended, the Miners sat 6th in the First Division table, with games in hand over all the sides above them. Thanks to the large-scale restructuring on the grassroots pyramid planned by the FA for next season, the top four sides in the Division were all in line for promotion, although Brett had made no secret of his ambitions to achieve promotion as League Champions.
Brett leaves Southfields as a very popular figure, widely praised as the architect of Radstock's success this season. Yet Brett's contribution to the Club was greater than simply brining success to the field of play.
Brett explains, "My aim was to make the club better again, on and off the field. I hope I have made the players better and calmer temperament at the same time. We all can be proud of what we have achieved this season, drawing against Yeovil, winning two League Respect awards, having the top goal scorer in the league and having a fantastic style of play, which all teams have complimented us on. I wanted to win the league so much this year, but it wasn’t to be. But every other aim I set out has been met."
Whilst Brett is proud of his achievements at Radstock, he also recognised the contribution the Club has made to his development as a coach, "Everyone at the club, I honestly can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me. You have been respectful and given everything for me. I feel since I have been here I have improved as a coach and manager and as a person."
Due to his commitments at Bristol City Brett could not be at every game and with an imminent wedding to plan for, Brett felt he could no longer devote the time and effort to the Radstock hotseat, that he felt the Club deserved.
