Just read on the website that Craig Laird is parting company with the club, it doesn't go into too much detail but cites the fact that he wouldn't sign another contract and commit himself to the club, and his demands for a bigger budget...... anyone know anything more? He has done a good job here so I wish him well wherever he goes (Gloucester?) |

From Facebook
BOARD STATEMENT - CRAIG LAIRD It is with regret that the Board have had to part company with the manager Craig Laird. Whilst we would like to thank Craig for all of his hard work and success on the pitch, his decision not to sign a contract and commit his future to the club can’t be ignored any longer. In addition to this his request for a further £42000 increase to his budget, a £6000 overspend on the agreed budget for this season and the fact that he has already received an increase of £27000, since joining us, has left the Board with no alternative than to part company. The club cannot meet those financial demands and will continue to pursue Conference Premier Football within a responsible financial strategy.

The reaction from the players says it all. I'm afraid we support a shit club ladies and gents. Lairdy turned a dysfunctional mess into consistent playoff competitors, with a great young squad and without doubt the best midfield in the league. Look at how he dealt with Stearn leaving! He made us a better team without our best player from last season. Cheers Craig, thanks for everything! PS: don't take to many lads with you!  |

unfortunately being a quality manager he'll be snapped up by a club with money and ambition and then we better be ready to lose most of our decent players as Craig will know exactly which ones are contracted and which ones aren't, who's happy and who isn't etc etc, a bad decision at a very bad time! why not wait until the season finishes? crazy...  |
