Looks like he'd definitely gone this time and presumably a lot of the players will follow, as they're not on contract. Can't imagine that there'll be a queue of potential managers looking to work with no budget and no players and Northmore looking over their shoulder.

I reckon we should just name the club ham and egg united fc and make a tv program on it. I think next seasons side will be similar to renford rejects. How about we call the program Ryans (Northmore) Rejects? Or Bliss's budgetless badgers?

Think this is what Bliss wanted all along !
No manager, no backroom staff, hardly any players !
Now he will be able to sell the site and recoup all of his money !
Nobody in their right mind will be willing to work under those conditions !
Weston & District League here we come !

I see the announcement post on Facebook has been removed, so that we can't comment on it. I wonder is there any truth in the rumour that Mickey Mouse wears a Weston AFC watch?

Steve h you got your wish, ( all lairds out ) now let's see what happens to this club. Next season we will lose all our identity that we have built up over a course of the seasons of being a well organised good passing team, I'm sure we will lose majority of our players and we will be struggling to get a manager in who is willing to work with a budget cut from the budget last season I now fear for this club as it will have nowhere near the quality of players it has had over the last few seasons, I fear relegation!! Sad day for Weston football club

All I have to say to Craig Laird is 'please take Hemmings with you'
Just goes to prove how little he thinks about the club.
Give Northmore the job now and lets start rebuilding , im sure Macca will come back and help.
Whatever you think of Paul Bliss at least the club will not go bankrupt as a lot of others have done chasing the dream.
Look on the bright side , if we go down just think how easy the away matches will be to get to !!

"All I have to say to Craig Laird is 'please take Hemmings with you'"
You'll have no problem getting your wish on that one, there are clubs queuing up to take Chas and because the players aren't on contract, we won't get a penny for Chas or any of the other players that leave.
"Just goes to prove how little he thinks about the club."
Where do you get that from? Laird has worked with the lowest budget in the league for a few seasons and has worked wonders. A few weeks ago the club asked him to sign a contract (he had previously been happy to work without a contract at his own risk) and the only condition he asked for was a slight increase in budget, which was agreed. The club have now reneged on this and cut the already low budget even further, making his position untenable. I don't know what line of work you're in but would you be happy if you were already earning the lowest in your area and then your boss cut your wages even further?
"Give Northmore the job now and lets start rebuilding"
Christ no, that is the worst thing that could possibly happen. Northmore is a very nice bloke to have a pint with but he is only interested in one thing and that is Ryan Northmore, as he has shown by his constant attempts to undermine the team.
"Whatever you think of Paul Bliss at least the club will not go bankrupt as a lot of others have done chasing the dream."
No one is suggesting that we should become Farnborough and go bust every 3rd season but there is a hell of a long way between where we are currently and over-spending and 'chasing the dream'. We need to bring in revenue and investment but Bliss refuses to even consider the idea as it would mean reducing his influence from the current 100%.
"Look on the bright side , if we go down just think how easy the away matches will be to get to !!"
As you don't travel to away matches, even local ones, I'm not sure why that's an issue for you.
