Re: New Manager

Would agree with Lord E , I was hoping for one experienced person to help. It might be that finances dictated these appointments. One thing is certain this management team are a lot cheaper that their predecessors! Hope these savings might help the playing budget! Am I correct in thinking the rest ...

Again hardly a surprise but perhaps one of the most popular players of the last few years. Wasn't at his best last season but always a great attitude.

Re: New Manager

We can only go so far on sentiment and enthusiasm but let’s see what signings we can bring in which might tell us about budget and contacts. When Dowse left, Gary McCann could at least call upon a number of players from his old club. The current situation is looking more akin to when Ian McDonald to...

Re: More Changes?

I think Phil always wanted to step down following a handover period and stayed on much longer than originally planned. I think he has done great service to the club through a difficult period and now hopefully others will step up if called upon by the club. Now there is some uncertainty again around...

Re: More Changes?

Will be interesting to see if the new club board changes its attitude towards the Trust. Jacques and Ben were happy to have them on board before the takeover.

Re: New Manager

First team assistant manager announced as Donovan Chislett, ex Met Police, Walton Casuals and Sutton Utd. Father of Ethan Chislett now at AFC Wimbledon.

Met Police had a good record of producing a strong youth talent pipeline.

Re: More Changes?

I can only guess at the motivation for shareholders, many of whom are U.S. based and presumably have limited knowledge of non league football. The Wrexham story has sparked a lot of interest from U.S. investors, the prize being getting to EFL 2 where there is more revenue to be had from TV, larger a...

Re: More Changes?

Thats the end of the idiot brothers then!!... thank fukc for that...I wonder if the money men walk too or maybe they realised the brothers are idiots and wanted them out before they commit further? Who knows It's not. They control Ramayana and Ramayana control the club. They could change the board ...

Re: More Changes?

Who knows? Whole range of possibilities. If Ben and new manager do a good job on a more restricted budget, then maybe more investment might be on the cards (the traditional investment hypothesis). If we get relegated then incentive to invest further becomes more unlikely and the question arises as t...

Re: Summer 2024 squad tracker

Connor didn't really push on last season and was very much a fringe player. Not sure we would miss him but that will be relative to who comes in to replace.

Re: More Changes?

So the fog is slowly clearing. It would seem that the Ramayana owners are now taking a back seat allowing the new Chairman, Ben Hudson and MD, Will King, to run the club on a day to day basis. Simon Davers who was a Ramayana appointee remains on the board and company Secretary. James Newman ( Movemb...
