Wilson has overseen Eastbourne's rise from the Sussex County League

Eastbourne Borough manager Garry Wilson wants to remain in charge of the club despite their impending relegation from the Blue Square Bet Premier.

To beat the drop, the Sports must win all of their remaining four games, hope other results go their way and make up a swing of 22 on goal difference.

Wilson told BBC Sussex: "My heart is in this club. I would struggle to leave.

"I've taken a dent in my pride this year but I know why. I still think I have got a lot of football left in me."

Wilson, who took charge at Priory Lane in February 1999, added: "If the club dropped down, I would like to be a part of it.

"I've still got discussions to have with the chairman [Len Smith] and his board to see if they want me. I want people to want me at the club.

"I've got belief we can re-build it again, which is what we want to do."
