Speaking of new appointments Graham Coglan has been appointed as Manager of Irish club Waterford, how did he manage to have an interview and still help Barrow another total charlatan no wonder we're where we are with people like these supposedly helping our club!
I expect Naz and Foley will join him out there.

If you look at what our board have yet to do it's frightening, New Manager, players contracts/ recruitment, new shirt sponsor, season tickets etc it's surely one of the most stressful ( apart from 1999) times I can remember in recent years!
Add to that our contract at FC United regarding training facilities ended at the end of the season so who knows where that leaves us training venue wise

They were looking at UCL near Preston earlier in the year, but I don't known whether that had something to do with Paul Gallagher and his contacts, excellent facilities there.

Staying at FC I believe.
Something like £100k for there or £250k for Preston Uni. I guess now we’ve been relegated a choice had to be made

I agree mate it's monumental I'd forgot about the friendlies I hope I'm wrong but the fans are going to have to be patient with all these changes and unfortunately a lot won't!

Agreed but I think the new manager will look after recruitment and contracts after being given a budget to work with. As in the past if he has a player who he considers worth it but is outside the budget the board will need to look at it, but IMO they won't have to work with it day to day.

I hope you're right some bid decisions coming we have to get this right!

Clubs that entered last season.
Tamworth, Brackley(Relegated), Rochdale, Solihull, Boreham Wood(Winners), Braintree(Relegated), Wealdstone, Forest Green, Truro(Relegated), Woking, Aldershot, Sutton, Boston, Halifax, Scunthorpe, Gateshead. With 3 sides relegated and 1 side possibly Promoted it will need other Clubs to enter next Season.
