at St Anselm's College in Birkenhead. He has since stayed on at St Anselm's and acted as a substitute teacher and general organiser and liaison for school trips and finance. Management After progressing as a coach and assistant manager he was appointed as manager after Sammy McIlroy left to become Northern Ireland manager in January 2000. However, he was sacked in December 2000 after refusing to work alongside newly appointed joint manager Gil Prescott. In June 2001, Davenport was appointed as manager of Bangor City in the Welsh Premiership, where he took the team to three third-place finishes in four years qualifying for European competition 3 times. Bangor City memorably beat FK Sartid (Yugoslavia) in the UEFA cup first round in 2002. Davenport resigned from his post in December 2005 citing a lack of progress in the Welsh premier league and Bangor's unsuccessful application to build a new stadium as his reasons. He was appointed manager of Colwyn Bay on 24 May 2006, resigning on 15 January 2007 to once again become manager of Southport. However, in April 2008 he was sacked as manager despite vying for a place in the Conference North playoff positions. His sacking an acrimonious one, blaming the chief executive, Haydn Preece, personally for his demise quoting that he felt he was "stabbed in the back". On 11 May 2010, he found himself back in management as he was appointed as the assistant manager at Bradford Park Avenue only to find himself without a job by August the same year due to a change in personal circumstances.
