Plenty to think about: Hayes & Yeading boss Phil Babb
Phil Babb is prepared to take on the challenge of leading Hayes & Yeading back into the Conference South - but only if the club wants him to stay.
The United manager is taking a few days away from the hotseat to reflect after watching his first year of management end in relegation after defeat to Dover on Saturday.
It has been a tough first season as boss for the former Liverpool star, with Hayes & Yeading now facing the prospect of life in the Ryman or Southern League next term.
He is yet to hold formal talks with chairman Tony O'Driscoll about his position as manager but has confirmed he would be willing to stay on for a second year in charge.
Babb told Get West London this morning: "If the chairman, players and supporters want me to stay on then I will happily accept the challenge."
Hayes & Yeading skipper Dean Inman, who was sent off at the end of Saturday's crucial defeat to Dover, was gutted with the club's relegation.
The captain said: "I suppose we could sit and moan about the ref all day, some of the decisions he made today were absolutely embarrassing.
"But that won't change the outcome that we've be relegated."
