Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

The longer the club leave appointing a new manager the worse it will be for the club next season. Agree uncertainty will allow other clubs to recruit our better players. What is needed is an appointment that will steady the ship, convince existing players to stay and attract the right sort of playe...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Think the other two people were Baker and Underwood. Baker is now assistant manager at Farnborough and Underwood is currently out of work having lost his job.

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

There are no well advanced plans for the new managerial appointment then: https://twitter.com/HAMRICHFC/status/1787395733382934573 Either this is just an exercise of going through the motions or it was Mel who resigned and caught the club unawares. Whatever the reasons for the resignation/sacking a...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Hmmm. On that note, wasn't Sam Cox supposed to have been in Ted Lasso as an extra? That probably seals it...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Les, I did not go back to the archive of that season! Most of this I knew and a quick research to confirm.

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?

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.

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!
