Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

I get an impression that this has come as something of a surprise to the players, if so, then it might have been also to the club? It is normal for departing managers to speak to the players upon leaving, so he might have enlightened them?
We await further communications hopefully fairly soon!

Re: Heard on the Grapevine........

I am beginning to think that nothing will be done about the 3G pitch, the floodlights or the other clubhouse work in this closed season. In addition it will take a few weeks to appoint a new manager who will have a major rebuilding job as many of the players especially the better ones have left. Jus...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

It was noticeable that in the final few programmes, where they were not from previously postponed games , that there were no Mel’s comments. Might be unconnected!

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Before this news I was mulling over where we might strengthen the team and possible additions, now this task is impossible until more facts are known. It could turn out to be a summer of multiple changes both on and off the pitch!

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

I note that Davies of Slough has been mentioned, agree he has done a good job and is a very good communicator. He has just signed a new contract so unlikely. David Noble has Exeter connections and has managed at this level., Another in this same category with Exeter connections is Simpson at Chelmsf...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

I am sure Dowse will be interested so will others Steve King for example! Whether we want them is another matter! Hopefully we can go for someone with experience at National League or above level. It will all depend on the budget and the owners ambitions.

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

It might be that this statement has come as a shock to players as well. If it caught the club on the hop then immediate steps need to be made to reassure players as well as supporters.The investors too might be asking some difficult questions of the brothers. Speculation breeds uncertainty and that ...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

on twitter Luis Fernandez’s didn’t seem impressed and pretty much said his son will be off Fernandez is one player we would want to keep. It might be that he was already being tapped up. This could be the tipping point for him and maybe others? The need to bring in the right manager is vital, time ...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Think possible reasons for his departure have already been voiced. One additional one might be that Mel lived in the west county and at 60 might have found travelling and hotel staying just too much. Must say that the lack of news and activity in the closed season did start to raise alarm bells with...

Re: Other NLS News

With ex Walton and Hersham manager Harris having been appointed it is no surprise that Ks are signing up lots of players from Walton and Hersham.
