Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Seems that way although when Mel was appointed we also interviewed two other candidates although Mel already had the job in reality. If we are starting from scratch then could easily be a few weeks before an appointment.

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Wealdstone have said he will be a candidate for the manager's job. Thoughts that Luke Garrard could also be a strong candidate. Sam must know a lot of quality non league players and as a youth coach at Tottenham clearly has credentials on that front so fits the profile in many ways. I think he was p...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Wonder how he would get on with the owners? Could be a fun watch. Will be interesting to see where we go next as an indication of intent. Dowse has the sort of experience for the level but coming off a disastrous season at Dartford it would be a brave move. Scott Davies at Slough has done a great jo...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

My take on this is quite simple. When it came to it and providing Mel the funding to invest in the squad and cement a play-off place last season there was none. The “owners” don’t have any money and are a pair of chancers. Mel has probably sussed this and despite the PR offensive with the ridiculou...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Another bemusing club statement only leading to speculation as to the reasons why. As they say, Friday evening always a good time to bury bad news. I would have thought Paul Tisdale might have afforded Mel some protection. Obviously not. The end of season collapse may be the reason or maybe Mel deci...

Re: Changes to next season

As with the Premier League this feels like it favours the richer clubs who can afford a much greater depth in their squad.

Re: Other NLS News

Just looking at their forum. There is a new chairman and board with Mark Anderson handing over the reins and his shareholding. But not any major new investment to talk of. They are limited to what they can spend out of the AFCW money. Club board and Supporters Club are at loggerheads. They clearly c...

Re: Other NLS News

Why would he go there? He could do so much better. I know his Kingstonian connections but his success at Walton should have set him up for something at least at step 3.

Re: Robbie Brownett

Oh no, incredibly sad news. I knew Robbie hadn’t been to many games recently but had no idea. A truly great club character. I’m sure there are many stories to be told. Hope the club acknowledges him in the right way.

Re: Beveree

It was recently announced that Shareholders had converted a £1.4M loan into equity. I can’t see how all of that would have been spent by now.
