That looks ominous for Concord. No manager or chairman. Bet the players are on the phone looking for a new club. Anyone decent there we might be interested in?

Lee Worgan Shep. Highly rated at Chelmsford.

Ant Smith, the Concord Rangers chairman, has stepped down. Whilst he says he will continue to support the club financially you have to wonder if this is the start of the slide back down the leagues for Concord. They are far from a well supported side and I guess their current position is largely dow...

I suspect Smith will not feature in our plans next season. Wassmer will get offers better than we can afford so will be up to him whether he wants to play for us or not.

Two names most obviously missing from the 13 are Cox and Wassmer.

13 re-signed and two from I am presuming the NL to be signed once their season is over. Gondoh? Vilhete? Some very positive mood music from Gary’s interview but the additional strengthening will be key. We weren’t quite strong enough to win the league last year and play offs is the more realistic ob...

I’d take Max K back certainly if he doesn’t go full time at Woking. I would be surprised if Casey and Cook went full time given their careers and bit have that extra experience at NL level.

Not sure what a three year contract really means these days. If the manager wants to leave for another club or the club wants to replace the manager due to poor results, the issue is what is the compensation to be paid.

He is going at the end of the season. Clearly would be useful to have on the board if both parties were interested but timing may be an issue. Leaving under something of a cloud I would say.

Ollie Bayliss reporting that Brian Barwick may be stepping down as NL chairman. Token sacrifice or first of many?
